Equipment Response Time - Nonin 8500 Operator's Manual

Equipment Response Time

If the signal from the sensor is inadequate, the last measured SpO
10 seconds and are then replaced with dashes.
Standard/Fast Averaged SpO
Standard/Fast Averaged Pulse Rate
Example - SpO Exponential Averaging
2
SpO decreases 0.75% per second (7.5% over 10 seconds)
2
Pulse Rate = 75 BPM
Specific to this example:
• The response of the 4-beat average is 1.5 seconds.
