Directions for Use Chapter 3 Patient Monitoring 41
Within a few seconds, the pulse amplitude indicator reflects the rate and strength of
the pulse.
Within less than 20 seconds, the SpO
2
window displays the SpO
2
measurement and
a numeric pulse rate value appears in .
To adjust the volume of the SpO
2
pulse tone, see “Changing the Volume of the Pulse
To n e” on page 28.
Note
During an SpO
2
measurement, the displayed pulse rate is derived from the SpO
2
sensor. Otherwise, the pulse rate is derived from NIBP.
Detaching the sensor during an SpO
2
measurement triggers an alarm.
If alarms are set for SpO
2
or pulse rate, a condition of no pulse for between 5 and
10 seconds causes an alarm.
If SpO
2
is being measured continuously on a patient over an extended period,
change the location of the sensor at least every three hours or as indicated by
the directions supplied with the sensor.
