The N-595 utilizes Nellcor SatSeconds alarm management technique.
SatSeconds is a function of the software within the N-595. With the
SatSeconds technique, upper and lower alarm limits are set in the same way as
traditional alarm management. The clinician also sets a SatSeconds limit that
allows monitoring of %SpO
of time before an audible alarm sounds. Refer to the N-595 Operator's manual
for managing SatSeconds.
The N-595 takes advantage of increased micro processing power with
advanced mathematical algorithms. Oxismart
processing allows the N-595 to read through challenging motion conditions to
deliver accurate saturation and pulse rate values. For a definition of motion, as
applicable to the N-595, contact Nellcor's Technical Services Department.
The N-595 pulse oximeter is designed to use Nellcor brand sensors containing
O M technology. These sensors can be identified by the deep blue color of
XI AX
their plug. All O M -compatible sensors contain a memory chip carrying
XI AX
information about the sensor which the oximeter needs for correct operation,
including the sensor's calibration data, model type, troubleshooting codes,
and error detection data. This unique oximetry architecture enables several
new features with the N-595.
