    For additional information about ambient conditions, sensor application, and patient conditions, see OXIMAX N-65 Performance Considerations on page 87. Pulse oximetry is based on two principles: • oxyhemoglobin and deoxyhemoglobin differ in their absorption of red and infrared light (spectrophotometry) •...

  • Page 120: Automatic Calibration

    Principles of Operation A pulse oximeter determines SpO by passing red and infrared light into an arteriolar bed and measuring changes in light absorption during the pulsatile cycle. Red and infrared low-voltage light-emitting diodes (LED) in the oximetry O sensor serve as light sources;...

  • Page 121: Functional Versus Fractional Saturation

    Principles of Operation Additionally, to compensate for differences in tissue thickness, the light intensity of the O sensor's LEDs is adjusted automatically. Functional versus Fractional Saturation This pulse oximeter measures functional saturation – oxygenated hemoglobin expressed as a percentage of the hemoglobin that can transport oxygen.

    Many functional testers and patient simulators have been designed to interface with the pulse oximeter’s expected calibration curves and may be suitable for use with Nellcor monitors and/or sensors. Not all such devices, however, are adapted for use with the Nellcor O Max N-65 Operator’s Manual...
  • Page 124 Principles of Operation digital calibration system. While this will not affect use of the simulator for verifying system functionality, displayed SpO measurement values may differ from the setting of the test device. For a properly functioning monitor, this difference will be reproducible over time and from monitor to monitor within the performance specifications of the test device.
