Monitoring Pulse Rate; Entering The Setup Pulse Menu; System Pulse Source - Philips IntelliVue X2 Instructions For Use Manual

The pulse numeric counts the arterial pulsations that result from the mechanical activity of the heart in
beats per minute (bpm). You can display a pulse from any measured SpO
arterial pressure (P, ABP, ART, Ao, PAP, UAP, FAP, BAP: see the pressure section for an explanation
of the pressure labels). The displayed pulse numeric is labeled and color-coded to match its source
wave. If the pulse numeric is not displayed, see the Setup Pulse menu to check whether it is
switched on.

Entering the Setup Pulse Menu
