Passport 12/Passport 8 Operator’s Manual 11-5
Saturation levels may fluctuate rather than remaining steady for a period of several seconds. Often, the patient % SpO
2
may fluctuate above and below an alarm limit, re-entering the non-alarm range several times. During such fluctuation,
the monitor integrates the number of %SpO
2
points, both positive and negative, until either the Sat-Seconds limit is
reached, or the patient %SpO
2
re-enters the non-alarm range and remains there.
NOTE
The “SpO2 Too Low” or “SpO2 Too High” alarm is presented in the case that SpO
2
value violates the alarm
limits for 3 times within one minute even if the setting of Sat-Seconds is not reached.
