Welch Allyn Connex Spot Monitor Directions For Use

1. Place the thermometer in the accessory dock.
2. Make sure that the monitor is connected to AC power.
3. Make sure that the monitor is powered on.
The LED on the dock indicates the charging status of the battery pack:
• Orange: The battery pack is charging.
• Green: The battery pack is charged.
• Not illuminated: The battery pack is not charging.
Note The battery pack continues to charge while the monitor is in Display power
saving mode.
Note It is strongly recommended that you use only the Welch Allyn rechargeable
battery pack in the thermometer because the dock cannot charge other
batteries.
SpO2
SpO2 and pulse rate monitoring continuously measures functional oxygen saturation of
arteriolar hemoglobin as well as the pulse rate in a patient through a pulse oximeter.
SpO2 measurements are updated each second ± 0.5 seconds.
The SpO2 sensors provided by Nonin, Masimo, and Nellcor for use with the monitor
have been tested for biocompatibility in accordance with ISO 10993.
SpO2 frame
The SpO2 frame displays data and the controls used in pulse oximetry measurements.
The frame provides a numeric view and a waveform view of SpO2 data. You can toggle
between views by touching the left side of the frame.
The SpO2 frame remains blank if no SpO2 measurement has been acquired.
SpO2 numeric view
The numeric view indicates the SpO2 saturation percentage and the pulse amplitude.
Features of this view differ, based on the type of sensor enabled and the profile
selected.
The SpO2 saturation percentage ranges between zero and 100. The SpO2 reading is
updated each second +/- 0.5 seconds.
Pulse amplitude
The pulse amplitude bar, shown when you are in the Spot profile, indicates the pulse
beat and shows the relative pulse strength. More bars illuminate as the detected pulse
gets stronger.
Level of perfusion
The level of perfusion (LofP) is a relative reading of pulse strength at the monitoring site.
The LofP is a numerical value that indicates the strength of the infrared (IR) signal
returning from the monitoring site. The LofP display ranges from .02 percent (very weak
pulse strength) to 20 percent (very strong pulse strength). The LofP is a relative number
72
