This lets you set a delay for the SpO
2
alarm. Possible settings are 0 s, 5 s,
10 s, and 15 s. The default is 15 s.
This sub-menu lets you configure the sensitivity of the SpO
2
sensor at the
following levels: Normal, Max, and APOD™ (Adaptive Probe-Off
Detection Technology). APOD™ offers the best detection of the three
sensitivity levels if the sensor becomes detached from the patient.
This lets you activate/deactivate FastSat® mode. This function monitors
rapid changes of the arterial O
2
level.
When FastSat® mode is activated, the averaging time depends on the input signal. If a
range is specified for the averaging time of 2-4 s or 4-6 s, the averaging time will be
within the selected range.
The signal averaging time can be set to 2 – 4, 4 – 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, or 16 s.
The oximeter continuously measures the values over the preset time and
then displays the mean value.
