Selecting SpHb Venous Mode

If the SpHb option is installed, the Propaq M unit allows you to specify whether to use venous
mode (On) as the blood sample source or not (Off). When Off (default) the Propaq M uses
arterial as the blood sample source.

Specifying the SpHb Averaging Time

If the SpHb option is installed, the Propaq M unit allows you to choose the time period over
which SpHb values will be calculated: Short, Medium, and Long (default). Averaging time
represents the approximate time period the Propaq M will use to calculate SpHb values. Longer
averaging times allow you to see subtle changes in the SpHb value and tend to improve
accuracy.

Selecting the Heart Rate/ Pulse Rate (HR/PR) Tone

The unit allows you enable or disable the tone that the monitor uses to indicate detection of the
patient's pulse:
