Pulse Rate: Indicators Associated with Pulse Rate
Indicators Associated with Pulse Rate
The indicators associated with pulse rate are HIGH and LOW. Refer to “Limit
Settings” in this section.
User Settings
Limit settings
There are two limit settings associated with this parameter: HIGH and LOW. The
range for all sources (NIBP and SpO
2
is the same: HIGH 35 to 235 bpm and LOW
is 30 to 230 bpm. The settings appear in increments of 5 bpm.
Upon completion of Stat mode determinations—when NIBP is the source—the
pulse rate value is not checked against its limits. The pulse rate value is not
checked against user-set limits while the SpO
2
hold-off period is active (refer to
SpO
2
hold off period in each “SpO
2
” Section).
Menu Settings
If SpO
2
is the source, the PULSE VOLUME menu setting is associated with this
parameter. This option lets you adjust the volume of the pulse tones that are
generated when SpO
2
is the source. 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 Pulse Rate
If SpO
2
is the source, there is one sound associated with this parameter: a beat
detected sound. A pulse rate tone is indicated by an audible beep each time a
beat is detected by the SpO
2
parameter.
NOTE: When the pulse rate is derived from NIBP, there is no audible pulse beat.
Factory Defaults
Refer to individual SpO
2
and NIBP sections.
