Principles of Operation

Many functional testers and patient simulators have been
designed to interface with the pulse oximeter's expected
calibration curves and may be suitable for use with Nellcor
monitors and/or sensors. Not all such devices, however, are
adapted for use with the Nellcor O
system. While this will not affect use of the simulator for verifying
system functionality, displayed SpO
differ from the setting of the test device. For a properly
functioning monitor, this difference will be reproducible over time
and from monitor to monitor within the performance
specifications of the test device.
