Information on SpO
Oximetry is a non-invasive monitoring method for continuous measurement of arterial oxygen saturation (SpO
•
in the blood.
The specific reduction in the absorbance of oxygenated and deoxygenated haemoglobin is measured with light of
•
different wavelengths by means of a photo sensor.
Comparison of the values yields the SpO
•
Additionally, the oximetry measures peripheral pulse rate (PR) per minute and perfusion index (PI) in percentage.
•
Preparing for SpO
Connect the oximetry sensor to the intermediate cable as shown in
the diagram above.
Ensure that the intermediate cable is plugged into the patient box.
Performing SpO
Measurements begin automatically after the sensor has been attached, however there will be a few
seconds delay before the pleth appears on the screen (dependant on configured averaging time).
When artifact, a low intensity signal, a low perfusion index is displayed, or the measurement does not
appear plausible (e.g. due to movement artifact, light pollution, and phototherapy), always check the

The sensor should be applied to the patient's ring finger or
middle finger on the patient's non-dominant hand where
possible.
Refer to the User Instructions for appropriate application
of the sensor of choice.
