SpO
2
Monitoring Display
The quality of the pulse waveform and the SpO
2
values are an
indication that the sensor is attached to the patient correctly. In
most clinical situations, the waveform is displayed in the second
or third channel in order to view the electrocardiogram in the first
channel during SpO
2
monitoring. The message SpO
2
Searching
appears following the connection of the sensor to the patient.
Within seconds, the first pulse oximetry value
appears in the SpO
2
parameter box. When the
SpO
2
and PLS alarms are turned off, a crossed
bell appears next to the parameter values.
SpO
2
Display Channel
When monitoring with a 5- or 6-lead ECG cable, you can display
the SpO
2
waveform in any waveform channel. If monitoring with
a 3-lead ECG cable, you cannot display the SpO
2
waveform in
the top channel.
STEPS: Selecting the SpO
