The manufacturer must be known before you do a pulse oximeter test, optically
through an artificial finger. For Masimo, you need to know if the sensor is a
2 wavelength or Rainbow sensor. You can configure the Product for the make of
pulse oximeter(s) used for the test. You change variables for each of the pulse
oximeters through the type variable. To change the oximeter sensor type:
1. From the SpO2 screen, push the
or
to highlight the
Type
value.
2. Push
.
3. Push
or
to highlight a type value in the list. Below is the list of types in
the Product.
Nellcor Philips
Masimo Hihon
Khoden
Masimo Rainbow
Mindray
Nonin BCI
GE/Ohmeda
4. Push
to set the type value and go back to the SpO2 screen.
To test other manufacturer types of oximeters, you must download R-Curve data
into the Product through the USB Port. Oximeter R-Curve design and data
download is done through the Ansur functionality.
Test a Masimo Rainbow SpO
2
When you set the SpO
2
type parameter to Masimo Rainbow, you must connect
the Product to the monitor with the optional SpO
2
Masimo Rainbow cable. See
Table 4 for a part number. The SpO2 screen shows three more parameters than
what shows for other types of sensors: SpMet, SpCO, and SpHb.
SpMet, SpCO, and SpHb cannot be set through the Product. The special Masimo
Rainbow cable sets them based on the measured SpO
2
percent. At 100 %,
SpMet = 0 %, SpCO = 0 %, and SpHb = 25 g/dl. A -1 % change in SpO
2
changes
SpMet +0.3 %, SpCO by +0.7 %, and SpHb by -0.5 %. SpHb does not change
for values of SpO
2
above 90 %.
Note
The Product tests Masimo Rainbow technology with an optional
adapter supplied by Masimo that allows the ProSim two-wavelength
to test the Rainbow multiple wavelength system.
Note
Since a special Masimo testing sensor is required to connect the
Product to Masimo Rainbow Oximeter, the Product only validates
performance of Oximeter, not the Masimo Rainbow sensor (the
SpHb, SpCO and SpMet values from the Masimo technology are
generated based on the SpO
2
value provided to the test sensor and
are not able to be changed independently).
