SatSeconds™ alarm management
The SatSeconds feature is an SpO2 alarm management system available only with monitors that
are equipped with Nellcor OxiMax Technology.
The SatSeconds feature is the product of the time and magnitude that a patient falls outside of the
SpO2 alarm limits. For example, three points below the alarm limit for 10 seconds equals 30
SatSeconds. An alarm is triggered only when a desaturation event reaches the SatSeconds limit.
The SatSeconds feature is clinician controlled and can be set to 0, 10, 25, 50, or 100 SatSeconds. If
a desaturation event resolves on its own within the preset time, the clock will automatically reset
and the monitor will not alarm.
