Masimo SET SpO2: Description
Description
The SpO
2
parameter in the V100 Monitor is available in three different leading
technologies: Ohmeda TruSignal, Nellcor and Masimo SET. Please refer to the
front of your monitor to see which SpO
2
technology your monitor contains. If
your monitor contains this parameter, the SpO
2
technology logo will be on the
front fascia of the monitor. This section refers to Masimo SET SpO
2
technology.
Functional oxygen saturation (SpO
2
) of arterial blood is noninvasively and
continuously monitored in the V100 Monitor using pulse oximetry technology
from Masimo SET. Functional SpO
2
is the ratio of oxygenated hemoglobin to
hemoglobin that is capable of transporting oxygen. This ratio, expressed as a
percentage, is shown in the SpO
2
window, which is continually updated.
Pulse rate when associated with SpO
2
appears in the Pulse Rate window. A tone
sounds at a rate corresponding to the pulse rate and at a pitch corresponding to
the SpO
2
saturation level. The pitch is highest at 100% oxygen saturation, and it
becomes lower as the saturation level falls. The monitor displays a pulse
amplitude bar. The pulse amplitude bar graph is proportional to the arterial
blood flow.
The parameter automatically switches on when a sensor is connected to the
monitor.
Audible and visible alarms occur when SpO
2
levels are outside the alarm limits.
When a parameter status alarm code occurs, an alarm message appears in the
SpO
2
window.
NOTE: Limit alarms, printing, and trending are not available for the first 10
seconds of SpO
2
monitoring.
Indications and Contraindications
The SpO
2
parameter is indicated for use in continuous, noninvasive monitoring
of functional oxygen saturation and in providing pulse rate data as a component
of the CARESCAPE V100 Vital Signs Monitor. This device is not designed, sold, or
intended for use except as indicated.
