Introduction Pulse Oximetry (SpO2)
15 - 2 V Series Operating Instructions
15.1 Introduction
This chapter describes the SpO
2
function in detail including monitoring an SpO
2
measurement,
configuring alarm limits, waveform color, and waveform speed.
Pulse oximetry is a continuous and non-invasive measurement of the amount of oxygen attached to
the hemoglobin in red blood cells. SpO
2
is an estimation of arterial oxygen saturation. The V 12/V 21
comes standard with Nellcor® SpO
2
or Masimo SpO
2
which measures the SpO
2
high and low limits.
The V 12/V 21 is calibrated to display functional oxygen saturation.
Patient Sizes
Intended patient types: Adult, Pediatric, Neonate.
VPS Connector
The VPS module supports one (1) SpO
2
connector. Refer to "Taking an SpO2 Measurement" on page
15-7 for additional information.
