Pulse Rate Delay Alarm Management Parameter
The monitoring system also monitors pulse rate by determining the number of 
pleth waves over unit time. With traditional alarm management, upper and 
lower alarm limits are set for monitoring pulse rate. When pulse rates fluctuate 
near an alarm limit, alarms trigger with each violation. Pulse Rate Delay allows a 
period of threshold violation before the pulse rate alarm sounds. Thus, it 
distinguishes clinically significant events from minor and brief pulse rate limit 
violations that result in nuisance alarms.
To use Pulse Rate Delay, set the traditional alarm management upper and lower 
pulse rate alarm limits. Then, set Pulse Rate Delay. The Pulse Rate Delay limit 
controls the time the pulse rate level crosses either limit before an audible alarm 
sounds.
Required Pulse Oximetry Sensor Usage (for respiration rate)
To obtain respiration rate, caregivers must use a Nellcor™ Respiratory Sensor. If 
caregivers use alternate sensors, listed in the Operator's Manual, the monitor 
continues to post both SpO
2
 and pulse rate data and dashes in the RR field. If 
caregivers use a respiratory sensor, the monitor will post both SpO
2
 and pulse 
rate and respiration rate will be posted when enough data are available. The 
monitor will display dashes in the RR field for instances where it is unable 
calculate a respiration rate. If such is the case, examine all possible performance 
considerations.
Prerequisites
Before starting a monitoring session, confirm the following:
• The monitoring system is powered on, has successfully completed its power-
on self-test, and has the respiration rate parameter enabled. Contact a qualified 
service technician to have the monitoring system upgraded if the respiration 
rate parameter does not appear on the screen.
• The monitoring system is connected to power or the battery is fully charged.
• An interface cable is connected to the monitoring system sensor port as 
described in the Operator’s Manual.
• A respiratory sensor is connected to the interface cable and correctly applied 
to the patient as described in the Instructions for Use. The monitoring system 
reports the appropriate sensor type in the message field when it detects the 
sensor.
