Page 9: Intended Use
A brief description of the monitor. • Monitor description The TruSat™ pulse oximeter is a durable, reliable, and portable monitor. It features TruSignal™ Enhanced SpO and PI r ®, a relative perfusion index. The monitor is powered by an internal battery, which is charged through an external power supply. -
Page 10: Trusat Pulse Oximetry
TruSat User’s Guide TruSat pulse oximetry TruSignal Enhanced SpO TruSignal Enhanced SpO offers improved performance, especially during challenging conditions of clinical motion and low perfusion. With ultra-low-noise technology, TruSignal selects the appropriate clinically-developed algorithm to compensate for weak or motion-induced signals and generate reliable saturation readings. -
