the operator shall enter the SpO
2
parameter setting menu and set 【NIBP Same Side】
to【On】in order to ensure that the SpO
2
alarm status will keep constant during the
NIBP measurement until the completion of NIBP measurement. If【NIBP Same Side】

.
Setting QRS Volume

2
setting menu to change the QRS volume. The
volume can be set to a value between 1 and 6, and also can be silenced.
Setting Average Time
The SpO
2
reading shown on the monitor is the average of data collected within a
specific time. The shorter the averaging time is, the quicker the monitor responds to
the change in the patient’s oxygen saturation level. Contrarily, the longer the
averaging time is, the slower the monitor responds to the change in the patient’s
oxygen saturation level, but the measurement accuracy will be improved. When a
critical patient is monitored, selecting shorter averaging time will help understanding
the patient’s state.
You can select【Average Time】in the SpO
2
setting menu, and select a proper time
as required.
Setting PR Source

【SpO2】: The monitor takes SpO

【Auto】: When the monitor can detect ART signal, the monitor will
automatically take the ART as the PR source. If failing to detect the ART
signal, the monitor will automatically take SpO
2
as the PR source.
