Chapter 9: SpO2 & Rainbow Parameters Monitoring
User Manual

MAX: Recognizing that some clinicians may want the absolute low perfusion
performance (0.02%) all of the time and may be willing to sacrifice sensor off detection,
Masimo provides a maximized sensitivity mode. This mode should be used for the sickest
patients, where obtaining a reading is most difficult. Maximum Sensitivity is designed to
interpret and display data for even the weakest of signals. This mode is recommended
during procedures and when clinician and patient contact is continuous.
In MAX mode, the message "
SpO2 MAX SENS
." displays on the screen with yellow
colour.
Warning
When using the Maximum Sensitivity setting, performance of th
e “Sensor Off”
detection may be compromised. If the instrument is in the setting and the sensor
become dislodged from the patient, the potential for false reading may occur due to
environmental “noise” such as light, vibration, and excessive air movement.
APOD (Adaptive Probe Off Detection): This mode is not advisable for patients with
low perfusion because the system has the least sensitivity to signal changes in this mode.
It is used in situations having risk of probe detachment (e.g. children or uneasy patients).
By selecting this mode, “
SpO2 APOD MODE
” appears on the screen
with yellow colour.
