Pulse Rate Measurement
The pulse rate measurement counts the arterial pulsations that result from
the mechanical activity of the heart in beats per minute (bpm). The pulse
rate is derived from the SpO2 measurement. Displayed results can range
from 30 to 300 bpm. There is no alarm function for pulse rate.
The pulse numeric is displayed at the Information Center only when SpO2

the MX40 with a time stamp. There are no alarms associated with the pulse
measurement. Pulse is turned on in the Telemetry Setup window at the
