9-4 CARESCAPE V100 Vital Signs Monitor 2036991-001C
Nellcor OXIMAX SpO2: Configuration Settings Associated with SpO2
WARNINGS
Pulse oximetry readings and pulse signals can be affected by
certain environmental conditions, sensor application errors,
and certain patient conditions. See the appropriate sections of
this manual for specific safety information.
The use of accessories, transducers, and cables other than
those specified may result in increased emission and/or
decreased immunity and inaccurate readings of the monitor.
CAUTIONS
As with any clip-on sensor, pressure is exerted. The clinician
should be cautious in using a clip-on sensor on patients with
compromised circulation (e.g., because of peripheral vascular
disease or vasoconstricting medications).
Do not perform any testing or maintenance on a sensor while it
is being used to monitor a patient.
Bright light sources (e.g., infrared heat lamps, bilirubin lights,
direct sunlight, operating room lights) may interfere with the
performance of the SpO
2
function. To prevent such
interference, cover the sensor with opaque material.
NOTES
 A patient’s vital signs may vary dramatically during the use of
cardiovascular agents such as those that raise or lower blood pressure or
those that increase or decrease pulse rate.
 The V100 Monitor that is labeled with Nellcor Technology is compatible only
with Nellcor OxiMax sensors and Nellcor sensor extension cable.
 Software development, software validation, and Risk and Hazard Analysis
has been performed to a registered quality system.
 User or patient-applied parts are latex-free.
Configuration Settings Associated with SpO
2
There are two configuration settings associated with this parameter: response
mode (n0d) and SatSeconds™ (SAt).
Response mode (n0d) allows the user to specify the averaging technique or how
quickly the reported SpO
2
value responds to changes in the patient’s saturation.
This will also effect time to alarm. Choose Mode 1 (Normal Response; default
setting) for the general patient population. Choose Mode 2 (Fast Response) when
patients are active as in exercise protocols.
