Definition of Nellcor Standard Motion:
Tapping: 1-2 cm amplitude at an aperiodic* frequency between 1-4 Hz
Rubbing: 1-2 cm amplitude at an aperiodic* frequency between 1-4 Hz
(*Note: "aperiodic" is a randomly changing frequency)

Adult specification is shown for D-25 and N-25 sensors with the N-200. Neonate specification
shown for N-25 sensors with the N-200. Validation testing
conducted on adult volunteers. Saturation accuracy will vary by sensor type. Refer to the Sensor
Accuracy Grid.
4
Definition of Low Perfusion:
Low perfusion in the context of oximetry is generally used to mean that the detected signal
modulation (pulsatility) is low at the monitoring site. Low percent modulation is defined as a value
of 1.5% modulation or less for the infrared (IR) signal.
