Note
The cooperative venture does not represent an endorsement of Index 2MF
by these manufacturers. Fluke Biomedical assumes the responsibility for
the R-Curves, and any results obtained from the use of Index 2MF.
Note
Some oximeters utilize technology and probes licensed from other
manufacturers. The R-Curve selected must correspond to the technology
used to ensure accurate results. Please consult oximeter manufacturer for
the correct technology and corresponding R-Curve within the Simluator.
W
Caution
Other manufacturers’ oximeters can be electronically tested by
the Simulator, but will require special care in preparation of an
adapter cable and interpretation of the results. Damage could
occur to the Simulator or the oximeter if the adapter cable is not
correct. See the “Customizing a Make Not Included Within Index
2MF” section in this chapter for more information.
Note
Six additional manufacturer's profiles are incorporated in the Simulator.
These six profiles may be changed at the Download Make menu by
selecting
Make
at Main Menu 2. Additionally, five CUSTOM R-Curves can
be stored in the Simulator. Refer to Appendix E, Computer Control, for
information on how to download a manufacturer's profile into the
Simulator.

Customizing a Make Not Included Within Index 2MF
The MF version of the simulator has incorporated many popular oximeter makes into its
data base. Unfortunately, there are many more manufacturers that cannot be incorporated
due to Simulator resource limitations and oximeter availability.
The Simulator has a “custom make” feature that allows you to create a make using just
the oximeter. The Simulator requires two elements to perform a simulation on a given
oximeter: Technology of light or light intensity and R-Curve. The Simulator will work
with most oximeters with excellent results once these choices are entered. These two
elements can be obtained from the manufacturer directly, or by trial and error. Table 5-1
lists typical oximeters that have the various technology options and Table 5-2 lists
oximeters with their R-Curve parameters.
