Data Output

 Operator’s Manual Addendum

 ADD-21

Table 1-3 describes the respiration rate data in the historical trend data output. 
Refer to the 

Operator’s Manual

 for descriptions of the other data in the output.

Table 1-3.  

Historical Trend Data Output Definitions (Respiration Rate Data Only)

Column

Description

RR Max

Maximum respiration rate value observed within the 1-sec. duration of the 
record

RR Min

Minimum respiration rate value observed within the 1-sec. duration of the 
record

RR LL

Lower alarm limit for respiration rate as configured by the user

RR UL

Upper alarm limit for respiration rate as configured by the user

Alarms

Encoded number indicating which alarms were active during the 1-sec. 
duration of the record.

Note:

 The alarm number is intended for interpretation by software such as 

the Nellcor™ Analytics Tool (NAT). It is encoded as a mathematical OR of 32 
unique numbers, each indicating a unique alarm. Numbers indicating respi-
ration rate alarms are listed below. Refer to the 

Operator’s Manual 

for other 

alarms that can appear in the output. A value of 0 is reported if no alarms 
were active.

0x00100000

RR Not Activated

0x04000000

Respiration Rate Low

0x08000000

Respiration Rate High
