Correlation Plot for Pulse Rate (All Data - No Motion): ECG HR vs. Pulse Rate
Pulse oximeters have been known to perform better at the higher saturation levels
compared to the lower end. Though, when presenting the A
RMS
, the common
methodology is to provide the data across the whole range (70% to 100%). The data
below is presented to show each decade, which includes the RMSD (root mean
square difference) and N values. RMSD and A
RMS
are the same. A
RMS
is used for
pooled data across the whole study to represent accuracy of the system, whereas
RMSD is used as the general term. There is no acceptance criteria associated with
decade levels of hypoxia, thus represented as RMSD. In Table A-3, SpO
2
RMSD is pre-
sented per decade.
