ANALYZE

To the right of the SpO2 value, a pleth bar and SpO2 alarm indicator are dis-

played. The pleth bar should be observed for fluctuation. It is an indication of

 

pulsation detected by the sensor. The pleth bar should not be used as the sole

5

indicator of pulsation because it can be influenced by movement and artifact.

The

symbol indicates no alarm is set.

 

Below the SpO2 value is the pulse rate derived from the pulse oximetry.
