Overview of In Vivo Adjustment
The In Vivo Adjustment feature lets clinicians manually adjust one or more clinical
parameters to match that of a corresponding laboratory reference for continuous trending.
To remind clinicians that the feature is active, an offset value displays alongside the
adjusted parameter value.
When the In Vivo Adjustment is set to Yes, the feature is active (turned on) and a positive or
a negative offset value appears, as shown in the following illustration.
In Vivo offset is set to zero for any of the following:
 Cable or sensor disconnect from instrument.
 Sensor goes off patient causing a sensor initialization to occur.
 8 hours has elapsed since the In Vivo value was activated.
 The user turns off In Vivo.
Offset value

that the value is increased (according to a laboratory reference value as entered by a
clinician) and a negative value means the value is decreased (according to a laboratory
reference value as entered by a clinician).
In the example below, the SpO2 value is offset (highlighted) by -1.0 and SpHb is offset by
+0.4.
The In Vivo Adjustment feature can be set to Yes or No. the factory default setting is No. If
set to Yes, the parameter value is adjusted and an offset value appears. The offset value is
set by the user.
