sat801+ Pulse Oximeter

APOD may be appropriate under conditions in which the Clinician/Patient ratio is lower
than in the intensive care unit and when contact between clinician and patient may be less
continuous. It is recommended for "step down" and "ward" care, and nursing home care
situations. APOD is appropriate where remote monitoring is employed. It is useful for
patients that are at particular risk of the sensor becoming detached (pediatric, combative,
etc).
How does APOD compare to Max or Normal sensitivity?
APOD is the least sensitive in picking up a reading on patients with low perfusion. Normal
Sensitivity provides the best combination of sensitivity and probe-off detection performance
and is recommended for the majority of patients. Max Sensitivity is reserved for the sickest
patients, where obtaining a reading is most difficult. Max sensitivity is designed to interpret
and display data for even the weakest of signals, and is recommended during procedures
and when clinician and patient contact is continuous.
If low perfusion combined with movement inhibits the Masimo SET monitor from reading,
switch from APOD to Normal or Max sensitivity.
Three sensitivity levels enable the clinician to tailor the response of the sat801+ to the
needs of the particular patient situation - a truly unique and powerful capability.

7.6.3.3 SmartTone (SmartTone)
The SmartTone is a feature that affects pulse beep and Signal IQ waveforms and can be
selected as “ON” or “OFF”.
When the SmartTone is ON, the Masimo SET algorithms will continue to provide pulse beep and
Signal IQ waveforms even when the pleth is noisy due to motion or low signal conditions.
With SmartTone OFF, the pulse beep and Signal IQ waveforms will suppress beep information
during periods of motion or low signal conditions.
