Sensitivity Modes Setting
Sensitivity Modes setting allows clinicians to escalate sensitivity mode to meet
demand of patient’s physiology. There are three choices for sensitivity: APOD
(Adaptive Probe Off Detection), Normal (default), and Maximum.
The NORMAL sensitivity setting is recommended for majority of patients. This
setting provides a combination of sensitivity and responsiveness to sensor
detachment.
The APOD sensitivity setting is used to protect against erroneous pulse rate
and SpO
2
readings that can occur when a sensor becomes detached from the
patient. It is the least effective setting for measuring SpO
2
on patients with low
perfusion.
The MAXIMUM sensitivity setting is used in instances where Sp

t difficult. This setting is recommended for use on
nd for use during procedures or when clinician and
patient contact is continuous.
