12.4.1 General information on PRICO
Pulse oximetry is a continuous and non-invasive method of measuring the level of arterial
oxygen saturation in blood. The measurement is taken by placing a sensor on a patient, usually
on the fingertip for pediatric, adult patients, and the hand or foot for neonates. The sensor is
connected to the fabian with a patient cable. The sensor collects signal data from the patient
and sends it to the ventilator. The fabian displays the calculated data additional to the
ventilation data in four ways:
1. As a Percent value (%) for arterial oxygen saturation (SpO
2
),
2. As a Pulse Rate (bpm),
3. The Perfusion Index (PI) and
4. As a plethysmographic waveform
The following figure shows the general monitoring view.

12.4.1.1 USB HPL/MIN (for devices with SN up to AN-03999)
The USB HPL/MIN is a patient cable with an integral Masimo MSLP-1 Board contained in
an enclosure that connects to Masimo Pulse Oximetry sensors and provides functional
oxygen saturation (SpO
2
), pulse rate (PR), perfusion index (PI), Plethysmograph
Waveforms, and other information through a serial digital interface.
The USB HPL/MIN contains a 9-pin (DB9) LNCS-compatible sensor connector with latch
at the sensor end, and a standard USB Type A connector at the opposite end so that it is
compatible with the USB device port on the rear panel of the fabian ventilator. The total
length of the USB HPL/MIN, patient cable, and sensor cannot exceed 5 meters.
