Definition of featured measurements
• SpO2 is the functional saturation of peripheral oxygen.
It is the percentage ratio of oxygenated hemoglobin
concentration over the total concentration of
oxygenated and non-oxygenated hemoglobin.
• Pulse Rate, PR, is the number of heartbeats per
minute.
• Pulse Amplitude, PA, is the normalized peak-to-peak
amplitude of the pulsatile signals (plethysmographs)
generated at the measurement site by the heart activity,
and detected by an optical device
(photoplethysmographs). PA values range from 0.02%
(very weak pulsatile signal) to 20% (very strong
pulsatile signal.).
• Waveforms are the pulsatile signals generated at the
measurement site by the heart activity, and detected by
an optical device (photoplethysmographs). Motion in
the measurement site affects the displayed
photoplethysmographs.
