module)
The SpO
2
setup screen is as shown in figure 4.12A or 4.12B, please refer to the Gima Vital Signs Monitor in
your hand.
Screen Description:
•
SpO
2
ALM:
SpO
2
alarm switch; This is set “ON” and the user cannot adjust it.
Hi/Lo
: high and low alarm limit for SpO
2
.
•
PR ALM:
pulse rate alarm switch. This is set “ON” and the user cannot adjust it.
Hi/Lo:
high and low alarm limit for PR.
•
PI% display: PI display switch.
“√” means PI display is enabled, “×” means PI display is disabled.
•
Response speed:
“Normal”, “Steady” and “Fast” for optional. Note: this setting item is optional, please refer
to the Gima Vital Signs Monitor you purchased.
•
AvgTime:
The signal averaging time of the oximetry can be set to: 2, 4, 8, 10, 12, 14 and 16 seconds.For the
2 and 4 second settings the averaging times may range from 2-4 and 4-6 seconds, respectively. The default
is 8. The stability of the SpO
2
and PR readings over time is affected by the averaging mode being used.The
longer the averaging time,the more stable the readings tend to become.This is due to a dampened response
as the signal is averaged over a longer period of time than during shorter averaging times. However, longer
averaging times delay the response of the oximeter and reduce the measured variations of SpO
2
and PR.
•
FastSat:
There are 2 options: “ON” and “OFF”. Select “ON” to activate the FastSat algorithm. With FastSat
the averaging time is dependent on the input signal. In the 2 and 4 seconds averaging mode, the FastSat
algorithm is automatically enabled. The default is “OFF"
•
Sensitive:
Rotate the knob to toggle between the Normal, APOD and Maximum Sensitivity modes. Use
the Normal Sensitivity setting for typical monitoring purposes. Use the APOD setting where there is a high
probability of the sensor becoming detached. Use the Maximum Sensitivity setting for patients with low per-
fusion or when the low perfusion message is displayed on the screen in APOD or normal sensitivity mode.
The default is APOD.
•
SmartTone:
SmartTone is a feature that affects pulse beep and Signal IQ waveforms. When the SmartTone
feature is ON, the Masimo SET® algorithms will continue to provide pulse beep and Signal IQ waveforms
even the plethysmogram is noisy due to motion or low signal conditions. With SmartTone OFF, the pulse
beep and signal IQ waveforms will suppress beep information during periods of motion or low signal condi-
tions. The default is OFF.
