Sensitivity ..............................
The
Maximum
setting is intended for
patients with weak blood flow, but its
higher sensitivity can hinder the correct
detection of a loose SpO
2
sensor.
The
Minimum
setting is intended for pa-
tients with good blood flow. This setting
utilizes the APOD™ (adaptive probe off de-
tection) algorithm from Masimo Inc., a
method that can correctly detect a loose
sensor in almost all situations. On the
other hand, patients with weak blood flow
can trigger technical alarms more often.
In most cases the factory setting
Stan-
dard
is recommended.
FastSAT
™
................................
When FastSAT™ is
On
, this effectively
takes a pulse-to-pulse measurement
suitable for detecting sudden, short de-
saturations.
