With the Rainbow SET option, you can monitor one or more of
the following parameters, depending on what is purchased
and configured:
• SpCO (carboxyhaemoglobin)
• SpMet (methaemoglobin)
• SpHb (total haemoglobin, in g/dl or mmol/L)
• SpOC (oxygen content)
Note that the SpOC value is calculated using the measure-
ment recorded for SpHb as one of the inputs.
The values of these parameters are integrated into the ventila-
tor’s MMP display, they support trend graphics, and are subject
to applicable alarms, all of which are controlled at the ventila-
tor.
With the Masimo pulse oximeter, you can also configure an
alarm delay, which allows you to specify a short waiting period
after an alarm condition occurs before the system sounds an
audible alarm. For details, see Section F.6 .1 .
