Nellcor OXIMAX SpO2: User Settings
User Settings
Limit settings
There are two limit settings associated with this parameter: HIGH and LOW. The
range for HIGH is 71 to 100%. The range for LOW is 70 to 99%. The settings
appear in increments of 1%.
Menu Settings
The PULSE VOLUME menu setting is associated with the SpO
2
parameter. This
option lets you adjust the volume of the tone that sounds after each detected
pulse. It can be adjusted from 0 - 10 (10 being the loudest). If you set the volume
to zero, no tone will sound.
Sounds Associated with SpO
2
An audible tone is provided by the monitor for each pulse detected by the
Nellcor SpO
2
parameter. The pitch of the audible tone is directly related to the
calculated saturation value. As the saturation value increases, the pitch
frequency increases. As the saturation value decreases, the pitch frequency
decreases. This audible tone is silenced while an alarm sounds or the PULSE
VOLUME is set to 0. Refer to “Menu Settings” in this section.
Procedures
1. Select a sensor that is appropriate for the patient and the clinical situation.
Verify that the monitor's patient type and sensor type match. Sensor sizing
must be correct to for the SpO
2
algorithm to function properly.
NOTE: To assure optimal performance, use only Nellcor sensors,
which are available from GE Medical Systems Information
Technologies-Accessories and Supplies or from Nellcor or its
local representative. Use only Nellcor O
XIMAX sensors with
PURPLE or WHITE plugs (connectors) and cables. Use of
another pulse oximetry cable will have an adverse effect on
performance. Do not attach any cable that is intended for
computer use to the sensor port. Do not connect any device
other than a Nellcor
OXIMAX sensor to the sensor connector.
WARNING
Do not use a damaged sensor or one with exposed electrical
contacts. Do not use sensor, cables, or connectors that appear
damaged.
