The monitor utilizes Nellcor SatSeconds alarm management technique.
SatSeconds is a function of the software within the N-600x. With the SatSeconds
technique, upper and lower alarm limits are set in the same way as traditional
alarm management. The clinician also sets a SatSeconds limit that allows
monitoring of %SpO below the selected lower alarm limit for a period of time
2
before an audible alarm sounds. Refer to the O
for managing SatSeconds.
The O M N-600x signal processing uses Cardiac Gated Averaging (CGA) to
XI AX
process the red and IR waveforms. CGA processing attenuates a signal that does
not occur synchronously with the average rhythm of the heartbeat. The result is
accurate and reliable %SpO

This process may take a few seconds. Once the reading process is complete, the
