The low readings may be because the Pulse Oximeter under test is a Nellcor unit but
the user has Ohmeda selected. Make sure the make selected in Index 2MF agrees
with the make of the pulse oximeter being tested. Many manufacturers use different
“R” curves for measurement.
You might try repositioning the probe for closer results, especially disposable probes.
With disposable probes, it is difficult to ensure consistent alignment of the LEDs to
the photo detector. This could also be a problem when using a disposable probe on a
patient.
5. I cannot find the make of the pulse oximeter I am testing with Index 2MF. What do I
do?
Index 2MF currently has curves for many oximeters. If the pulse oximeter under test
is one of the following, use the Nellcor make selection:
