Ohmeda TruSignal SpO2: Windows Associated with SpO2
Windows Associated with SpO
2
There is one window associated with this parameter: SpO
2
. While in offline
mode, nothing is displayed in the SpO
2
window. When in ready mode and the
parameter senses that a sensor is connected, a single dash (-) appears in this
window. When it is in operate mode and the parameter is reporting a valid data,
the derived SpO
2
value appears in this window and updates continuously. The
values are displayed in %.
NOTE: If SpO
2
is the source for pulse rate, the Pulse Rate window is associated
with this parameter. Refer to the “Pulse Rate” Section for more
information.
Indicators Associated with SpO
2
There is one indicator associated with this parameter: the pulse amplitude
indicator bar. The red LED bar flashes to indicate that pulse rate measurements
are being derived from SpO
2
signals and the height of the bar is proportional to
the arterial blood flow.
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 to 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
TruSignal 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.
