1
Upper and lower alarm limits
Reflects upper and lower SpO
2
and pulse rate alarm limits.
An alarm sounds each time patient saturation or pulse rate
values violate these alarm limits.
2
SpO
2
real-time value
Indicates hemoglobin oxygen saturation levels. Current
upper and lower alarm limit settings appear as smaller
values to the left of the dynamic SpO
2
value.
3
Time
Indicates the current time in hours, minutes, and seconds.
4
Pulse amplitude (blip bar)
Indicates pulse beat and the relative (non-normalized) pulse
amplitude. As the detected pulse becomes stronger, more
bars light with each pulse.
5
SatSeconds™ icon
The SatSeconds™ feature provides alarm management for
mild or brief SpO
2
limit violations. When the SatSeconds™
feature is enabled, the SatSeconds icon fills in the clockwise
direction as the SatSeconds alarm management system
detects SpO
2
readings outside of the limits setting. The Sat-
Seconds icon empties in the counterclockwise direction
when SpO
2
readings are within limits. When the SatSec-
onds icon reaches full, a medium priority alarm sounds. The
adult default setting is 100. Reference
6
Alarm active icon
Appears, along with an alarm message, when patient
values violate an alarm limit threshold. Audible and visual
alarms occur. Reference
for additional alarm icons.
