EDAN H100B - Oximeter Performance Factors; Influence of Hemoglobins and Anemia; Saturation and Pulse Rate Display; Data Update Period

H100B Pulse Oximeter User Manual
- 59 -
Anemia causes decreased arterial oxygen content.
Although SpO
2
readings may appear normal, an
anemic patient may be hypoxic. Correcting
anemia can improve arterial oxygen content. The
oximeter may fail to provide SpO
2
if hemoglobin
levels fall below 5 gm/dl.
 Saturation
The oximeter displays saturation level between 1%
and 100%.
 Pulse rate
The oximeter displays pulse rate between 30 and
254 beats per minute (bpm). The sensor accuracy
ranges do not apply to pulse rates above 254 bpm.
 Data update period
The data update period is one second typically,
and 10 seconds in extreme conditions.
5.3 Sensor Performance
Considerations
Inaccurate measurements can be caused by:
 Incorrect application of the sensor.
