WARNINGS
Supplemental oxygen will attenuate patterns of desaturation. A 
patient’s respiratory compromise can be proportionally more severe 
before patterns appear in the saturation trend. Remain vigilant when 
monitoring a patient on supplemental oxygen.
Do not modify any other alarm settings while using the SPD™ 
parameter.
Use of the SPD™ parameter does not change the need to set threshold 
limits appropriate to the patient being monitored.
Should the caregiver acknowledge an SPD™ alarm, this resets the index 
that tracks repetitive patterns of desaturation.
External factors, including certain ambient conditions, sensor 
application errors, and certain patient conditions, may compromise the 
accuracy of the displayed respiration rate value. Always consider 
clinical signs and symptoms when assessing the patient and before 
intervening in response to a respiration rate alarm.
Respiration Rate is not intended for use as an apnea monitor. During 
apnea, Respiration Rate may post a non-zero number.
Respiration Rate should not be used on patients with significantly 
irregular cardiac rhythms (defined as three or more events of 
irregularity observed within 30 seconds) because the presence of these 
irregular cardiac rhythms may cause inaccurate respiration rate values 
or the loss of displayed respiration rate information. Safety and 
effectiveness of Respiration Rate in patients with significantly irregular 
cardiac rhythms have not been established. Use an alternate means of 
monitoring ventilatory status for patients with significant cardiac 
dysrhythmia.
Safety and effectiveness of respiration rate in patients on mechanical 
ventilation have not been established.
Safety and effectiveness of respiration rate in pediatric and neonatal 
patients have not been established.
Safety and effectiveness of respiration rate in pregnant or lactating 
women have not been established.
Use of the Respiration Rate parameter does not change the need to set 
threshold limits appropriate to the patient being monitored.
