Functional oxygen saturation (SpO
2500 Patient Monitor by a pulse oximetry parameter that provides continuous,
noninvasive measurements of SpO
plethysmographic waveform, and a signal strength bar. The signal strength bar
is an indication of the confidence associated with the saturation measurement
and timing of the pulse. To begin SpO
SpO port, place the SpO

automatically.
Functional SpO is the ratio of oxygenated hemoglobin to hemoglobin that is
2
capable of transporting oxygen. This ratio, expressed as a percentage, is shown
in the SpO field of the screen and is updated with each heart beat. The
2
percentage of SpO is also indicated by a pulse tone that is activated by the
2
Adjust QRS volume option in the HR/Pulse menu. The pitch frequency of the
tone is proportional to the oxygen saturation value: highest at 100% saturation
and lower as the level of saturation falls.
