12 SpO2 Monitoring
12.1 Overview
The monitor measures the patients’ SpO2 (oxygen saturation) and displays:
1.
Pulse rate (PR) value in the ECG or SpO2 parameter window.
2.
PLETH waveform in the waveforms area.
3.
Oxygen saturation (SpO2%) value in the SpO2 parameter window.
The PR value is displayed in the ECG parameter window only if:
1.
SpO2 is selected from the HR FROM options in the ECG SETUP menu; or
2.
AUTO is selected from the HR FROM options in the ECG SETUP menu and no ECG
signal is received.
As the following figure shows, the PLETH waveform is located on the left while the SpO2
parameter window on the right. The SpO2 value is displayed by percentage and is followed
by a perfusion indicator (pro rata with the pulse intensity). Besides, the SpO2 label at the
upper left corner of the parameter window allows you to access the SpO2 SETUP menu.
