Displays and Indicators
SpO
2
Display
The SpO
2
display is the upper numeric display (identified by the %SpO
2
symbol). This 3-digit light-emitting diode (LED) display shows the current
oxygen saturation percentage.
Pulse Rate Display
The Pulse Rate display is the lower numeric display (identified by the
symbol). This 3-digit LED display shows the pulse rate in pulses per
minute.
Pulse Quality Display
The Pulse Quality display (identified by the symbol) is a tricolor LED
that blinks once for each detected pulse. The Pulse Quality display
changes color to indicate changes in the pulse waveform signal that may
affect the SpO
2
data. It may blink green, amber or red.
• Green indicates a good pulse strength signal.
• Amber indicates a marginal pulse strength signal. To improve signal
quality, reposition the sensor, try a different sensor type, reduce patient
movement, or improve the site’s circulation.
• Red indicates an inadequate pulse strength signal. While the Pulse
Quality display is red, SpO
2
and pulse rate values are not updated.
After about 10 seconds, the values are replaced with dashes,
indicating that readings are not possible.
Low Battery Indicator
When batteries are critically low, the digital displays will go blank, and the
Pulse Quality display will blink amber or red, but not green. After 10
minutes at critically low battery capacity, the pulse oximeter will shut off
automatically.
Sensor Fault or Inadequate Signal Display
If the device determines that a sensor fault exists (a sensor disconnect,
failure, misalignment or incompatibility with the monitor) or if a pulse
oximeter sensor signal is no longer detected, a dash (-) appears in the
leftmost position of the SpO
2
display. The readings that are displayed will
freeze for 10 seconds if the pulse oximeter sensor fault or the inadequate
signal continues.
