Data In-Sensor Indicator —Lights to indicate that the attached OxiMax pulse
oximetry sensor contains a patient sensor event record. The sensor event record
information may be viewed or printed.
Battery Fuel Gauge —Displays the battery charge remaining on the oximeter. The
battery fuel gauge consists of four bars, each corresponding to approximately 1.5
hours of operating time. All four bars are lit when the battery is fully charged. No bars
are lit when a low battery condition exists. Visible in all display views. See
Battery Fuel
Gauge , page 27.
Plethysmographic (pleth) Waveform —This non-normalized waveform uses real-
time sensor signals, reflecting relative pulsatile strength and quality of incoming
signals. This indicator is only available in the pleth display view.
Pulse Amplitude (blip bar) —Indicates pulse beat and the relative (non-normalized)
pulse amplitude. As the detected pulse becomes stronger, more bars light with each
pulse. This indicator is only available in the blip and general care format (GCF) display
views.
%SpO2 Value —Indicates hemoglobin oxygen saturation levels. The display value
flashes zeros during loss-of-pulse alarms and flashes the %SpO
2
value when the
SpO
2
is outside the alarm limits. The oximeter continues to update the display during
Pulse Search. Current upper and lower alarm limit settings appear as smaller values
to the right of the dynamic %SpO
2
value. Visible in all display views.
Pulse Rate Value —Displays the pulse rate in beats per minute. It flashes during
loss-of-pulse alarms and when the pulse rate is outside of the alarm limits. During
Pulse Search, the oximeter continues to update the display. Pulse rates outside of the
pulse rate range of 20 to 250 bpm are displayed as 0 and 250, respectively. Current
upper and lower alarm limit settings appear as smaller values to the right of the
dynamic pulse rate value. Visible in all display views.
Saturation Pattern Detection (SPD) Icon —The OxiMax SPD™ Alert (SPD) feature
detects patterns of desaturation in the SpO
2
trend in adults. When the SPD feature is
enabled, the oximeter detects patterns of desaturation indicative of repetitive
reductions in airflow through a patient’s upper airway into the lungs. When the SPD
feature detects patterns of desaturation in the SpO
2
trend in adults, caregivers are
alerted to these patterns via a visual indicator, and optionally, an audio alarm. The
triangle icon for SPD appears on the monitor display when the feature is enabled.
The triangle fills from the bottom to the top as patterns become more severe. The
triangle empties from top to bottom as the patterns become less severe. If the
triangle fills, an alarm sounds. With SPD enabled, the default setting is On with the
sensitivity set to 1. The feature can be turned off in the LIMITS menu. Caregivers can
select from three alarm sensitivity settings: 1 (most sensitive), 2 (medium sensitivity)
or 3 (least sensitive), with 1 resulting in more alarms and 3 resulting in fewer alarms.
The rate at which the SPD icon fills depends on the SPD sensitivity setting. To explore
activation, contact Nellcor’s Technical Services Department at 1.800.635.5267 or your
local Nellcor representative. To use the feature, reference
