3. Select the ABORT softkey to stop the recording or to access or view additional data. View
sensor event records by accessing the TREND/SENSOR menu.
The SENSOR EVENT RECORD LED comes on steady when sensor memory is full and stays
on until the OxiMax pulse oximetry sensor is disconnected.
Note:
If the sensor does not contain any data or if no events were recorded to the sensor memory
chip in the prior monitoring situation, the TREND/SENSOR option is not available. A sample
event display without data is shown below. The message clears when the graph or summary
closes.

Managing Graphical Sensor Event Record Data
Graphical representations of patient event history are only available on
single-patient-use OxiMax pulse oximetry sensors. Graphed data points are the
minimum or maximum %SpO
2
value for each 30-second interval throughout the
duration of an event (%SpO
2
continuously below alarm threshold for at least 15
seconds) and continuing every 30 seconds until the actual %SpO
2
value equals or
exceeds the alarm threshold.
The duration of an event is determined by the number of data points in the event.
Each data point is stored at 30-second intervals.
Events end due to one of the following reasons:
•
%SpO
2
returns to or above the alarm limit
•
Loss of pulse
•
OxiMax pulse oximetry sensor is disconnected
•
OxiMax pulse oximetry sensor is removed from the patient
