Pulse oximetry test procedures
1. Verify that the following are displayed at the patient monitor:
A sinusoidal waveform with an SpO
2
label.
An SpO
2
% reading between 97 – 100% (97 and 102%).
A PPR reading between 97 and 103 beats per minute (it might be
necessary to turn the SpO
2
ON).
2. Test the accuracy of these SPO
2
% settings.
3. Test the accuracy of these PPR settings:
4. Return the simulator to these conditions:
