Overview of SpO2 Monitoring
SpO2 monitoring is only possible with an SpO2
MCable.The M540 uses the Infinity
®
MCable -
Nellcor
TM
OxiMax
TM
(Nellcor Oximax MCable) to
measure the percentage of functional haemoglobin
saturated with oxygen (% SpO
2) and derive a pulse
rate (PLS) continuously. The values are displayed
on the M540 and the Cockpit.
A sensor applied to the patient measures the
absorption levels of red and infrared light. The
Nellcor Oximax MCable uses the difference
between the two measurements to calculate the
percentage of saturated haemoglobin (SpO
2).
Because light absorption varies with blood volume
and blood volume varies with pulse rate, the Nellcor
Oximax MCable can also derive a pulse rate (PLS).
SpO
2 measurements are for adult, paediatric and
neonatal patients.
Refer to the Infinity Acute Care System - Infinity
M540 Instructions for Use for a detailed description
of the M540 SpO
2 functions.
The SpO
2 monitoring functions are configurable in
the parameter-specific setup page (see page 194).
Before performing any monitoring functions, refer
to the section "For Your Safety and That of Your
Patients" starting on page 9. Parameter-specific
error messages are listed on page 334.
Supported Parameters
– Saturation (SpO2)
– Pulse rate (PLS)
NOTE
Information about the wavelength range may be
useful during photodynamic therapy. For details,
see the technical data chapter of the M540
Instructions for Use.
