Monitoring
11.1 Overview
The monitor measures the patients’ SpO
2
(oxygen saturation) and displays:
1. Pulse rate (PR) value in the ECG or SpO2 parameter window.
2. PLETH waveform in the waveforms area.
3. Oxygen saturation (SpO2%) value in the SpO2 parameter window.
The PR value is displayed in the ECG parameter window only if:
1. SpO2 is selected from the HR FROM options in the ECG SETUP menu; or
2. AUTO is selected from the HR FROM options in the ECG SETUP menu and no ECG signal
is received.
As the following figure shows, the PLETH waveform is located on the left while the SpO
2
parameter window on the right. The SpO
2
value is displayed by percentage and is followed by a
perfusion indicator (pro rata with the pulse intensity). Besides, the SpO
2
label at the upper left
corner of the parameter window allows you to access the SpO
2
SETUP menu.
