Communication

This chapter describes the memory playback and real-time capabilities of the Avant
9700 Digital Pulse Oximeter.

Memory Features

The Avant 9700 can collect and store more than 115 hours of SpO and pulse rate
2
information.
Data may be played back with data retrieval software (NONIN's nVISION ®
software is recommended). If you wish to create your own software, contact
NONIN for the data format.
The memory in the Avant 9700 functions much like an "endless loop" tape. When
the memory fills up, the unit begins overwriting the oldest data with the new data.
Each time the Avant 9700 is turned on, the current time/date information (if the
clock is set properly) is stored in memory, starting a new recording session. Only
recording sessions greater than one minute in length are stored in memory.
Patient SpO and pulse rate are sampled every 2 seconds. Every 4 seconds, the
2
extreme value of the 4-second sample period is stored. Oxygen saturation values are
stored in 1% increments in the range of 0 to 100%.
The stored pulse rate ranges from 18 to 300 pulses per minute. The stored values
are in increments of one pulse per minute in the interval from 18 to 200 pulses per
minute, and in increments of 2 pulses per minute in the interval from 201 to 300
pulses per minute.
