Chapter 9: SpO2 & Rainbow Parameters Monitoring
SpO2 measurement:
1.Turn on the monitor.
2.Attach the sensor to the appropriate site of the patient finger
3.Plug the connector of the sensor extension cable into the SpO2 socket on the left side of
the device.
NOTE:
● Make sure the nail covers the light window.
● The wire should be on the backside of the hand.
NOTE:
SpO2 value is always displayed in a fixed position of SpO2 window and Pulse Rate is
displayed beside it, but if "HR SOURCE" is set to "SpO2", PR value will be
eliminated from SpO2 window and displayed instead of HR value in the ECG
WINDOW.
Warning
Measurement limitations
a) The accuracy of all SpO2 parameters measurement can be affected by:
●
Improper sensor application.
●
Elevated levels of COHb or MetHb: High levels of COHb or MetHb may occur with
a seemingly normal SpO2.
●
Intravascular dyes, such as indocyanine green or methylene blue.
●
Externally applied coloring and texture, such as nail polish, acrylic nails, glitter, etc.
●
Elevated levels of bilirubin.
●
Severe anemia.
●
Low arterial perfusion.
●
Motion artifact.
●
Sensor temperature (maintain between 28° C and 42° C for best operation)
●
Electroshock and electrosurgical interference
●
External illumination more than 5,000 lumens/square meter (typical office lighting)
