6. I have selected the Nellcor make and am testing disposable probes. The results on the
monitor are OK at high saturation levels (90 to 100 %), but as I go lower, the
readings on the pulse oximeter vary from the setting.
This is because each Nellcor disposable probe is calibrated differently. The same is
true for Ohmeda probes - an in-line adapter forces the monitor to the calibration
curve that matches that of Index 2MF.
7. How did Fluke Biomedical obtain the R-curves?
We worked with each manufacturer and they sent us a pulse oximeter for
characterization. The curves were then verified on several pulse oximeters of that
brand. It is possible to download additional R-curves to Index 2MF as needed for
pulse oximeters that are not preprogrammed into Index 2MF. The operator's manual
describes how to download R-curves. All that is needed is a computer and the pulse
oximeter.
8. Some pulse oximeters indicate SaO2 and some indicate SpO2. Which is it?
The definition for SaO2 read from a pulse oximeter is Sp02. This has become a
standard in recent years.
9. How do I set up the DPU-411 Printer to work with Index 2MF?
Table F-1 shows the correct DIP switch settings (parallel) for the Seiko DPU 411
Printer when used with Index 2MF. The table also shows switch settings for serial
printing.
