11.11.2 SatSeconds “Safety Net”
The SatSeconds “Safety Net” is for patients whose saturation makes frequent excursions below or
above the SpO
2
limit but does not remain in violation long enough for the SatSeconds limit to be
reached. If three or more SpO
2
alarm limit violations occur within a 60-second period, an alarm
will be triggered even if the SatSeconds limit has not been reached.
11.11.3 Setting SatSeconds Duration
You can set SatSeconds to Off or to the duration among 10, 25, 50 and 100. To configure the
SatSeconds settings, enter the SpO
2
Setup menu and select the desired SatSeconds setting from
the SatSeconds list.
