After approximately 10.7 seconds, a SatSeconds alarm will be triggered, because the limit of 50
SatSeconds has been exceeded. See arrow (↑) in the following figure.
Alarm Response with SatSeconds
Saturation levels may fluctuate rather than remaining steady for a period of several seconds.
Often, the patient SpO
2
may fluctuate above and below the alarm limit, re-entering the non-alarm
range several times. During such fluctuation, the monitor integrates the number of SpO
2
points,
both positive and negative, until either the SatSeconds limit is reached, or the patient SpO
2
returns within a normal range and remains there.
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.
