Observation Reporting (ORF) Message Syntax
Observation/Result (OBX) Segment
Each OBX segment in the ORF message reports a single measurement. There can be
multiple OBX segments in an ORF message.
Examples:
These OBX segments contain the following measurements: SpO
2
(98%); systolic NBP (122
mmHg); diastolic NBP (85 mmHg); mean NBP (98 mmHg); Pulse Rate (80 bpm) derived
from SpO
2
; ECG respiration (20 rpm); Predictive temperature (37.4°C). All of the results
are final.

In these OBX segments, the empty Observation Value field (OBX-5) indicates that there is
no NBP measurement on the monitor screen:

In this OBX segment, the X in the Observation Result Status field (OBX-11) indicates an
invalid SpO
2
measurement, which is displayed as a question mark (?) on the monitor
screen.
