Monitoring SpO2

3
Philips pulse oximetry uses a motion-tolerant signal processing algorithm, based on Fourier artifact
suppression technology (FAST). A sensor is used that transmits light of two different wavelengths
through the tissue of the patient. The measurement principle of pulse oximetry is based on the specific
absorption characteristics of oxyhemoglobin and deoxyhemoglobin and the pulsating arteriolar
vascular bed at the measurement site. It provides four measurements:
• Oxygen saturation of arterial blood (SpO
the sum of oxyhemoglobin and deoxyhemoglobin (functional arterial oxygen saturation).
• Pleth waveform - visual indication of patient's pulse (only on patient monitor or Information
Center, if assigned).
• Pulse rate (derived from pleth wave) - detected pulsations per minute.
• Perfusion indicator - numerical value for the pulsatile portion of the measured signal caused by
arterial pulsation (only on patient monitor, if assigned).
NOTE
No alarms are generated for SpO
a patient monitor or telemetry device.

Familiarize yourself with the Instructions for Use supplied with your sensor before using it. In
particular, check that the sensor being used is appropriate for your patient category and application
site.
