other.
Monitor performance:
When an SpO
2
sensor is located on the same limb as the NIBP cuff, SpO
2
readings will not be valid while the cuff is inflated. If valid SpO
2
readings
are required during the entire blood pressure determination, attach the
SpO
SpO
2
sensor to the limb opposite the one with the blood pressure cuff.
NOTES
•
A patient’s vital signs may vary dramatically during the use of
cardiovascular agents such as those that raise or lower blood pressure or
those that increase or decrease pulse rate.

and pulse rate values are filtered by an averaging technique, which
determines how quickly the reported values respond to changes in the
patient’s saturation. Increased averaging time effects time to alarm for SpO
patient’s saturation. Increased averaging time effects time to alarm for SpO

saturation and pulse rate limits.
•
Pulse rate measurement is based on the optical detection of a peripheral
flow pulse and therefore may not detect certain arrhythmias. The pulse
oximeter should not be used as a replacement or substitute for ECG based
arrhythmia analysis.
