3. Select [Start] from the [Replay] menu. Then the ScvO
2
 measurement area is displayed 
on the patient monitor; 
4. Enter [ScvO
2
 Setup] menu and set [Hb/Hct] to [Hct]; 
5. Set [LED660], [LED800], [LED880] to ‘1250,40000’ (inching with the direction key 
on the keyboard if needed). Select [Start] from the [Replay] menu; 
6. Enter [ScvO
2
 Calibration] menu and select [Sample drawn] when SQI occupies four 
grids (80%). In the popup menu, set [ScvO
2
] and [Hct] to 67% and 40% respectively, 
then select [Calibrate]. Close [ScvO
2
 Calibration] menu to check that the ScvO
2
 value 
is displayed as 67%  in the monitoring screen. 
7.  Set the value of [LED660] to ‘1250, 33600’ and keep other LCD values unchanged. 
Check that the ScvO2 measurement is within (50±3)%. 
8.  Set the value of [LED660] to ‘1250, 46400’ and keep other LCD values unchanged. 
Check that the ScvO
2
 measurement is within (80±3)%. 
 
Method 2: 
Tools required:

2
 sensor to the patient monitor. Check that the front end of the ScvO
2
 
sensor illuminates normally. 
2.  Nip the front end of the ScvO
2
 sensor with two fingers to perform a ScvO
2
 calibration. 
3.  Check that the patient monitor displays the ScvO
2
 measurement normally.
