value (C) - the values drop steadily and after 11 seconds a value
leaves the shaded area. An alarm is indicated immediately.
Recovery scenario: SpO
2
value (D) - the values stay within the shaded area for 48 seconds, deviating
from the alarm limit by 1% or 2%, before rising again above the alarm limit. No alarm is indicated
because the SpO

values never leave the shaded area below the alarm limit.
