Nellcor™ Respiration Rate Caution: Accuracy of Respiration Rate was established using bench-top testing and clinical studies in 30 healthy volunteers and 75 hospitalized patients. Hospital studies did not necessarily include all patient conditions found in hospitals and hospital-type settings. These clinical study results may not generalize to all patient conditions.

Product Overview Product Overview Product Description 1.3.1 The Covidien Nellcor™ Respiration Rate Version 2.0 parameter as featured on the Nellcor™ Bedside Respiratory Patient Monitoring System allows for con- tinuous noninvasive monitoring of arterial oxygen saturation (SpO ), pulse rate and respiration rate of adult patients using a single sensor. The pulse oximeter collects the photoplethysmography signal from the patient via the Covidien Nellcor™...

Nellcor™ Respiration Rate The current respiration rate value (in breaths per minute) is shown as a large white numeral on the right side of the display. Upper and lower alarm limits are user-adjustable. Figure 1-1. Respiration Rate (RR) Fields Respiration rate Indicates the respiration rate in breaths per minute. (breaths/min) value Respiration rate upper Upper/lower alarm limit settings appear as smaller...
Product Overview Updated Monitoring History Screens 1.3.4 Similar to the real-time trend views, the monitoring history trend views include the new respiration rate field at the lower right and respiration rate trend data in white below the SpO and pulse rate data. Respiration data is also docu- mented in the clinical log and histogram view.

Operation Operation When used with a respiratory sensor, the Respiration Rate parameter provides a continuous, non-invasive measurement of respiration rate, in breaths per minute, for adults in hospitals or hospital-type facilities. Respiration rate is derived by analysis of changes in the photoplethysmogram (PPG) signal that occur during the respiratory cycle.
Nellcor™ Respiration Rate Required Pulse Oximetry Sensor Usage 1.4.2 To obtain respiration rate, caregivers must use a Nellcor™ Adult Respiratory Sensor. The monitoring system reports the appropriate sensor type in the message field when it detects the sensor. Figure 1-9. Sample Sensor Type Message If caregivers use non-respiratory sensors, listed in the Operator’s Manual, the monitoring system continues to post both SpO and pulse rate data, with the...
Operation Respiration Rate Safety Information 1.4.3 Upon connection of the respiratory sensor to the monitoring system, you are prompted to review on-screen Respiration Rate safety information. To review the safety information Press EXIT, then press HELP. Select RR Safety Information from the Help options, and review the safety infor- mation.

ALARM LIMITS Menu Options Note: The initial alarm limits are the factory default settings or the institutional default settings set by qualified service personnel. Any changes to these settings are temporary. Limit changes remain in effect as long as the monitoring system retains power, but return to the factory or institutional default settings at power off.

Nellcor™ Respiration Rate Performance Considerations Monitoring System Constraints 1.6.1 In addition to the pulse rate and saturation constraints listed in the Operator’s Manual, the following constraint applies: Respiration Rate — The monitoring system displays respiration rate levels from • 4 to 40 breaths per minute (breaths/min). Detected breaths/min above 40 appear as 40.
Troubleshooting Troubleshooting Existing troubleshooting and error codes remain the same as those listed in the Operator’s Manual. Additional messages and errors related to the Respiration Rate parameter follow. Note: The Respiration Rate parameter is approved for use in the range 4 to 40 breaths per minute.

Nellcor™ Respiration Rate Respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) — During the respiratory cycle, heart rate generally increases during inspiration and decreases during expiration. RSA results in pulse frequency variations. Reference Figure 1-17 (d). Figure 1-17. Variations of the pleth due to respiration The Respiration Rate parameter utilizes these subtle pleth variations to measure respiration rate.
