What is signal IQ™?
Signal-
IQ™ is a measurement for Signal
-Identification and Signal-Quality. Masimo developed this
indicator to give the user information when a measurement is questionable. Signal-
IQ™ is a visual
reliability indicator for the oxygen saturation and pulse frequency measurements.
The more difficult it is to detect an arterial pulse signal the lower the presented IQ-bar (2). The
Signal-IQ-figure is particularly valuable with movement, weak circulation, or environmental
influences.
What is the Perfusion-Index?
The Perfusion-Index is a measurement for pulse strength at the point of sensor measurement. The
Perfusion-Index varies from 0.02% (very weak pulse strength) to 20% (very strong pulse signal). The
Perfusion-Index is calculated from the reflected infrared portion. The Perfusion-Index is a relative
measurement and can vary at each application point and with different patients.
