hemodynamic pressure disturbances. Motion at the probe site is indicated by noise spikes in the
normal waveform. (See the figure below.) In order to reduce motion noise, you should carefully look
at the SpO2 waveform and check the probe position in the animal.
SPO2 Waveform with Artifact
Stability of SPO2 Values
The stability of the displayed SPO
2
values can also be used as an indication of signal validity.
Messages are provided in the SPO
2
values window to aid you in successful SPO
2
monitoring.
Warning
In the monitoring of animals, it is possible that adverse conditions may lead
to a disturbed signal going unnoticed. In this situation, artifacts can simulate
a plausible parameter reading, so that the monitor fails to sound an alarm. In
order to ensure reliable animal monitoring, the proper application of the probe
and the signal quality must be checked at regular intervals.
