The upper digital display is a 3-digit light emitting diode (LED) digital display that displays oxygen saturation
percentage.
♥ (Pulse Rate) Display
The lower digital display is a 3-digit LED digital display that displays pulse rate in pulses per minute.
(Perfusion) Indicator
The perfusion indicator (identified by the waveform symbol
measuring oxygen saturation. The perfusion indicator changes color to indicate changes in the pulse waveform
signal that may affect the SpO
The perfusion indicator may blink one of three colors: green, yellow, or red:
• Red indicates the pulse amplitude is too small. During red perfusion, SpO
updated. After twenty seconds, the values are replaced with dashes indicating SpO
possible.
• Yellow indicates the pulse waveform amplitude is marginal or the pulse oximeter has detected artifact.
Although SpO
data is acceptable, corrective measures should be considered to improve sensor

placement, change sensor type, or reduce patient movement. After 90 seconds of yellow perfusion, the
8600 will go into sensor alarm mode.
• Green indicates the pulse waveform signal is of good quality and SpO
