Table F-2. Masimo SpHb sensor modes
Mode Description
Lifespan
Continuous The sensor updates the SpHb value every
minute for the total number of hours allowed
for the purchased option. For example, a
total of 66 hours of monitoring. When the
time is expired, the sensor stops recording
measurements. To continue SpHb moni-
toring, you must replace the sensor.
NOTE:
The timer is only in effect when the
sensor is connected. To lengthen the
lifespan of the sensor, disconnect it
from the patient cable when it is not
in active use.

(the default)
SpHb measurements are only recorded when
manually requested.
Note that if the sensor cannot capture a valid
measurement, the time is not counted.
For each spot check requested, you have an
additional period of time, the Free Retry
period, during which you can request repeat
measurements.
In this mode:
• SpHb and SpOC

values are only
displayed in the Monitoring window,

is variable. After 1 minute, the last
