Mindray BeneVision N Series User Manual

14 - 6 BeneVision N Series Patient Monitor Operator’s Manual
Saturation levels may fluctuate rather than remaining steady for a period of several seconds. Often, the patient
SpO
2
may fluctuate above and below an 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 Sat-
Seconds limit is reached, or the patient SpO
2
re-enters the non-alarm range and remains there.
NOTE
• The SpO
2
Too Low or SpO
2
Too High alarm is presented in the case that SpO
2
value violates the alarm
limits for 3 times within one minute even if the setting of Sat-Seconds is not reached.
14.6.3 Setting the Nellcor SpO
2
Sat-Seconds
To set the Sat-Seconds, follow this procedure:
1. Select the SpO
2
numeric area or waveform area to enter the SpO2 menu.
2. Select the Alarm tab.
3. Set Sat-Seconds.
14.6.4 Setting SpO
2
Sensitivity (for Masimo SpO
2
)
For Masimo SpO
2
, selects the Sensitivity as per signal quality and patient motion.
Normal sensitivity is the recommended for patients who are experiencing some compromise in blood flow or
perfusion. It is advisable for care areas where patients are observed frequently, such as the intensive care unit
(ICU).
Adaptive Probe Off Detection (APOD) sensitivity is the recommended sensitivity mode where there is a high
probability of the sensor becoming detached. It is also the suggested mode for care areas where patients are not
visually monitored continuously. This mode delivers enhanced protection against erroneous pulse rate and
arterial oxygen saturation readings when a sensor becomes inadvertently detached from a patient due to
excessive movement.
Maximum sensitivity is recommended for use on patients with weak signals (e.g. high ambient noise and/or
patients with very low perfusion) and for use during procedures or when clinician and patient contact is
continuous such as in higher acuity settings.The settings of sensitivity in the SpO
2
module and SpO
2
b module
are linked.
To set SpO
2
sensitivity, follow this procedure:
1. Select the SpO
2
numeric area or waveform area to enter the SpO2 dialog.
2. Select the SpO2 Setup tab.
3. Set Sensitivity to Maximum, Normal, or APOD.
