AVERAGING
CAUTION
—An increased averaging time may result in delayed
startup, erroneous detection of minimum parameter values,
missed alarms and desaturation and resaturation detection
delays.
Select the sensor averaging time. The higher the setting, the
more stable the reading. The default setting is eight
seconds.
NOTE
For the two and four second settings, the actual
averaging time may range from two to four and four to
six seconds.
ALARM DELAY Select the amount of time the SpO
2
values can fall outside of
the SpO

limits before an alarm sounds. Choose from 5 to
15 seconds. The default setting is five seconds.
In the event the saturation value falls outside of the low
saturation limit by a value greater than 4%, the alarm delay
is fixed at five seconds.
