Pulse Oximetry (Spo2) - Escort Prism 20401 Reference Manual

Pulse Oximetry (SPO2)

A noninvasive method for continuously measuring oxygen saturation and pulse rate. Hospital
policies, along with the sensor's directions for use, should be followed in care and rotation of
monitored sites. Insure correct sensor is being used for the type of oximetry in your monitor.
To monitor a patient's SPO2:
1. Apply sensor to appropriate sensor site on patient. SPO2 monitoring commences
automatically.
2. Open the SPO2 menu by pressing softkey next to SPO2 label.
