SatSeconds has been exceeded. See arrow (↑) in the following figure.
Saturation levels may fluctuate rather than remaining steady for a period of several seconds.
Often, the patient SpO
range several times. During such fluctuation, the monitor integrates the number of SpO
both positive and negative, until either the SatSeconds limit is reached, or the patient SpO
returns within a normal range and remains there.
