8.7.2 Choose the Averaging Period for the Oximetry Parameter
NOTE! SpO
2
averaging to the number of pulse beats over which the SpO
2
value is averaged; pulse averaging is the number of seconds over
which the pulse value is averaged.
The measured values for oximetry (%SpO
2
and PR) can be determined by
averaging the sensor readings over a selected number of beats or seconds. For
example, if you choose 16 Beats, the measured value displayed for oxygen
saturation (%SpO
2
) will be the average of the oxygen saturation readings over
sixteen pulse beats; the measured value displayed for pulse rate (PR) will be
the average of the number of pulse beats over sixteen seconds.
