SpO2 and pulse rate with Nellcor OxiMax MCable

Overview of SpO2 monitoring

SpO2 monitoring is only possible with an SpO2
MCable.The M540 uses the Infinity MCable –
Nellcor OxiMax (Nellcor OxiMax MCable) to
measure the percentage of functional hemoglobin
saturated with oxygen (%SpO2) and derive a pulse
rate (PLS) continuously. The values are displayed
on the M540 and the Cockpit.
A sensor applied to the patient measures the
absorption levels of red and infrared light. The
Nellcor OxiMax MCable uses the difference
between the two measurements to calculate the
percentage of saturated hemoglobin (SpO2).
Because light absorption varies with blood volume
and blood volume varies with pulse rate, the Nellcor
OxiMax MCable can also derive a pulse rate (PLS).
SpO2 measurements are for adult, pediatric and
neonatal patients.
NOTE
Information about wavelength range may be
useful during photodynamic therapy. For details,
see the technical data chapter of the Instructions
for use Infinity Acute Care System – Infinity M540.

Refer to the Instructions for use Infinity Acute Care
System – Infinity M540 for a detailed description of
the M540 SpO2 functions.
The SpO2 monitoring functions are configurable in
the parameter-specific setup page (see page
page 278).
Before performing any monitoring functions, refer
to the section "For your safety and that of your
patients" on page 13. Parameter-specific error
messages are listed on page 526.
