Using Sensor Event Records
Sensor Event Record Overview
WARNING
The pulse oximetry sensor extrapolates from the date and time provided by the
Nellcor OxiMax N-600x pulse oximeter when recording the sensor event record to the
sensor. The accuracy of the date/time is determined by the date/time setting of the
pulse oximeter. Set the pulse oximeter date and time to the correct value before
connecting a record-enabled sensor to keep the date and time consistent for as long as
the sensor remains connected. Since a sensor with sensor event record data can be
transported from one oximeter to another, having discrepancies in the date/time
between oximeters and the sensor event record data will affect the order in which the
sensor event record data appear. To eliminate this potential problem, set all oximeters
within an institution to the same time.
In-Sensor Data
OxiMax adhesive pulse oximetry sensors are capable of storing patient alarm event
data. A sensor event record allows alarm event history to travel with the patient on
the sensor’s memory chip for quick assessment at every point of care where OxiMax
oximeters are used.
Patient (alarm event) data is stored on the memory chip of OxiMax adhesive pulse
oximetry sensors (single-patient-use sensors only). The alarm event data is stored
(recorded) with the limit/threshold settings that were active at the time of the event
on the recording oximeter. These events can be viewed on the next OxiMax oximeter
when the patient moves to a new point of care.
Sensor Event Records
An event occurs when the %SpO
2
value exceeds either the upper or lower alarm limit
for at least 15 seconds. Alarm events are grouped and recorded to the memory chip
every five minutes. The maximum number of events that can be stored in an OxiMax
pulse oximetry sensor is typically 100.
Event records can only be viewed after an OxiMax pulse oximetry sensor containing
patient alarm data (event records) has been connected to an OxiMax N-600x pulse
oximeter with SENSOR enabled. Event records are designed to view patient events
from prior areas of care or transport (history) while oximeter trend should be used to
view data or events from a patient currently being monitored.
The oximeter’s SENSOR EVENT RECORD indicator lights when an OxiMax pulse
oximetry sensor containing event data is connected to the oximeter.
Recording and viewing of sensor event record is only available on OxiMax-
compatible monitors with SENSOR enabled. The OxiMax sensors may function on
older technology monitors but the sensor event record feature is not available.
Refer to the
N-600x Service Manual
for specific instruction on how to disable the
storage of the sensor event recorded in an OxiMax pulse oximetry sensor.
