“Saturation Pattern Detection detects repetitive patterns of desaturation in the SpO2
trend in adults. Caregivers are alerted to these patterns via a visual indicator, and
optionally, an audio alarm. The triangle icon for Saturation Pattern Detection appears on
the monitor display when the feature is enabled. The triangle fills from the bottom to the
top as patterns become more severe and empties from top to bottom as the patterns
become less severe. If the triangle fills, an alarm sounds. With Saturation Pattern
Detection enabled, the default setting is On with the sensitivity set to 1. The feature can
be turned off in the LIMITS menu. Caregivers can select from three alarm sensitivity
settings: 1 (most sensitive), 2 (medium sensitivity) or 3 (least sensitive), with 1 resulting in
more alarms and 3 resulting in fewer alarms.
Enabling Saturation Pattern Detection automatically activates the SatSeconds feature.
The TREND key blinks when a Saturation Pattern Detection alarm occurs. If the alarm is
resolved, the TREND key stops blinking but remains highlighted until the caregiver
presses it to view the event or clears it by pressing the TREND key.”
