Alarm Limit Review

When the alarm limit review button is pressed and held, the patient alarm limits in effect for
no breath delay time (in seconds), SpO
setting will display in sequence for approximately 2 seconds in the order and format shown
in Table 3. If the button is released, the review mode is exited and normal operation is
resumed.

No Breath Delay (seconds)
Oxygen Saturation Low Limit (%)
Pulse Rate Low Limit (beats/minute)
Pulse Rate High Limit (beats/minute)
Oxygen Saturation High Limit (%)
Breath Beep Pitch (fixed or variable)
During the alarm limit review only the SpO
and pulse rate measurements will be displayed after completing the limit review. If a critical battery state
exists, the alarm limit review sequence will not appear.
NOTE: Pressing and holding the alarm limit review button can be used to review alarm limits and
to activate an event marker.

Pulse Quality Indicator

CAUTION: The device may misinterpret motion artifact as good pulse quality.
!
The pulse quality indicator blinks once for each pulse while measuring oxygen saturation. The pulse
quality indicator changes color to indicate changes in the pulse waveform signal that may affect the SpO
data.
The pulse quality indicator may blink one of three colors:
• Green indicates that the pulse waveform signal is of good quality and the SpO
are accurate.
• Yellow indicates that the pulse waveform amplitude is marginal or that the pulse oximeter has
detected artifact. Although the SpO
should be considered if the indicator continues to blink yellow frequently. To improve the signal
quality, try repositioning the sensor, try a different sensor type, eliminate patient movement, or
improve circulation at the site by massaging the area.
