CAUTIONS
The respiration rate value is generated from SpO
2
to provide a reference
for respiration rate. It is not the actual value for the respiration rate.
SPD™ (Saturation Pattern Detection) can be used only if SatSeconds is
active. It cannot be used without SatSeconds.

Do not immerse sensors.
Utilize hospital grade line cords in AC-powered systems.
Treat SPD™ alarm as lower priority than SatSeconds.
A low SpO
2
alarm limit of at least 90% is recommended when
monitoring patients on supplemental oxygen.
Accuracy of Respiration Rate was established using bench-top testing
and clinical studies in 26 healthy volunteers and 53 hospitalized
patients. Hospital studies were conducted using convenience sampling
and did not necessarily include all patient conditions found in hospitals
and hospital-type settings. These clinical study results may not
generalize to all patient conditions. Use caution in patient populations
in which a displayed respiration rate value outside of the stated
accuracy specification could present a serious risk or hazard.

An SpO
2
alarm may be the first indication of hypoventilation.
Respiration rate may present inaccurate respiration rate values when
respiration rate exceeds 50% of heart rate. This situation, though rare,
may occur under conditions including, but not limited to, any of the
following: patients with high respiration rate and low heart rate,
patients taking beta blockers, or patients with specific medical
conditions such as sick sinus syndrome.

Respiration rate provides an indicator of central ventilatory drive and
not a direct indication that air is moving through the upper airway.
Always consider clinical signs and symptoms when assessing the
patient and before intervening in response to a respiration rate alarm.

NOTE
Respiration Rate values are calculated every five seconds. Users should be
aware that the reported respiration rate represents an average over a
period of time and does not necessarily represent the instantaneous
respiration rate. Low and high respiration rate alarms are triggered
immediately when the reported rate falls outside the alarm limits and no
further alarm delay is applied.
