display views. For more information about using the feature, reference the N-600x
Operator's Manual.
Fast Response Mode Icon—Appears at bottom right of the menu bar when
enabled. The oximeter algorithm responds to changes in the SpO
rates: two to four seconds in Fast Mode and five to seven seconds in Normal Mode
when calculating %SpO
calculation of pulse rate, nor does it influence the recording of trend data, which
both occur at one-second intervals. The response mode, however, may impact the
SPD alarm behavior. Visible in all display views when enabled. For more information
about using the feature, reference the N-600x Operator's Manual.
Neonate Mode Icon—Appears at the bottom far right of the menu bar when
enabled. Visible when the alarm limits are set to neonate limit values, but not when
set to adult limit values. For more information about using the feature, reference the
N-600x Operator's Manual.

WARNING
Failure to cover the OxiMax pulse oximetry sensor site with opaque material in high
ambient light conditions may result in inaccurate measurements.
The OxiMax N-600x pulse oximeter continuously assesses the quality of the pulse
oximetry signal while monitoring patient SpO
values reflect the data derived from monitoring.
The N-600x pulse oximeter algorithm automatically extends the amount of data
required for measuring SpO
conditions.
•
Normal conditions—During normal measurement conditions the averaging time is six
to seven seconds (approximately three seconds in Fast Mode).
•
Brief abnormal conditions—During conditions such as those caused by low perfusion,
interference (e.g., external interference like ambient light), or a combination of these, the
oximeter automatically extends the amount of data required beyond seven seconds. If
the resulting dynamic averaging time exceeds 20 seconds, the pulse search indicator is lit
solid and %SpO
•
More severe conditions—As these conditions extend, the required amount of data
continues to increase. If the dynamic averaging time reaches 40 seconds, the pulse search
indicator flashes to denote a loss-of-pulse condition and %SpO
values of zero. This activates the audible alarm state.
