Monitoring SpO2
2000966-386D Dashâ„¢ 3000/4000/5000 11-3
Primary Parameter Monitoring Considerations
When ECG is turned off, the SpO
2
parameter becomes the primary patient monitoring
parameter. The following conditions apply when ECG is turned off:
îš„ The SpO
2
and SpO
2
Rate parameter patient status alarm levels default to
WARNING.
îš„ The SpO
2
Pulse Search and Probe Off system status alarm levels default to
WARNING.
îš„ SpO
2
becomes the WAVEFORM 1 selection for waveform display and graphing.
Configuration Options
To determine the option running on the monitor, look on the right side of the monitor
next to the patient connectors. There will be a Masimo SET, Nellcor OxiMAX or an
Ohmeda label. This label indicates the technology option installed on the monitor.
NOTE
The patient cable should easily plug into the patient connector. Do not use
excessive force to connect the cable. If the patient cable does not easily fit into
the patient connector, it is likely that you do not have the appropriate cable for the
enabled configuration option.
Masimo
The following measurement guidelines apply to Masimo SET:
îš„ The time period for acquiring a measurement average is adjustable.
îš„ The default setting for all patient-monitor types is eight seconds.
îš„ The pulse oximetry is calibrated to display functional saturation.
îš„ The signal strength indicator denotes signal quality. Zero asterisks indicate low
signal quality; three asterisks indicate high signal quality.
îš„ Only Masimo LNOP or LNCS sensors are supported.
îš„ Masimo LNOP or LNCS sensors non-invasively measure pulse rate and the
amount of oxygenated hemoglobin.
îš„ Possession or purchase of this device does not convey any express or implied
license to use the device with unauthorized replacement parts which would,
alone, or in combination with this device, fall within the scope of one or more of
the patents relating to this device.
NOTE
With motion, the plethysmographic waveform is often distorted and may be
obscured by the artifact. With Masimo SET technology, the SpO
2
waveform is
not an indication of signal quality or validity. Even with an SpO
2
waveform
obscured by artifact, Masimo SET technology is able to read through the noise
and locate the arterial pulsation.
Use the following guidelines when using Masimo LNOP or LNCS sensors:
