Acoustic respiration rate (RRa)
Monitors configured with Masimo rainbow Acoustic Monitoring technology continuously
and noninvasively measure respiration rate based on respiratory sounds produced in the
upper airway. Respiratory sounds are detected through a sensor applied to the patient's
neck.
Note RRa is available only in the Continuous Monitoring profile.
Note Masimo SpO2 monitoring is required when monitoring RRa.
Note RRa monitoring is only for adult patients who weigh more than 66 pounds
(30 kilograms).
Note
Monitors configured with RRa cannot be configured with CO2 or SpHb.
RRa frame
The RRa frame displays the following:
•
Respiration rate in breaths per minute (BPM)
• Respiration Indicator
• Alarm limit control
• Averaging control toggle providing the options of slow, medium, fast, trending, and
off
Note
RRa is available only when the Continuous Monitoring profile and Adult
patient type are selected.
Respiration Indicator
The Respiration Indicator displays the level of sound detected by the RRa sensor. A
higher level of sound causes more bars to illuminate.
