Monitoring SpO2

Philips pulse oximetry uses a motion-tolerant signal processing algorithm, based on Fourier artefact suppression technology (FAST). It provides four measurements:

•Oxygen saturation of arterial blood (SpO2) - percentage of oxygenated hemoglobin in relation to the sum of oxyhemoglobin and deoxyhemoglobin (functional arterial oxygen saturation).

•Pleth waveform - visual indication of patient’s pulse.

•Pulse rate (derived from pleth wave) - detected pulsations per minute.

•Perfusion indicator - numerical value for the pulsatile portion of the measured signal caused by arterial pulsation.

The monitors are also compatible with SpO2 technologies from other manufacturers. Please refer to the instructions for use provided with these devices for further information.

SpO2 Sensors

Depending on the purchased SpO2 option, different sensors and adapter cables can be used. The sensors for the different options are color-coded to match the connectors. See the section on Accessories for a compatibility table.

Familiarize yourself with the instructions for use supplied with your sensor before using it. In particular, check that the sensor being used is appropriate for your patient category and application site.

CAUTION Do not use OxiCliq disposable sensors in a high humidity environment, such as in neonatal incubators or in the presence of fluids, which may contaminate sensor and electrical connections causing unreliable or intermittent measurements. Do not use disposable sensors on patients who have allergic reactions to the adhesive. Always use the MAX-FAST forehead sensor with the foam headband provided by Nellcor.

Applying the Sensor

1Follow the SpO2 sensor’s instructions for use, adhering to all warnings and cautions.

2Remove colored nail polish from the application site.

3Apply the sensor to the patient. The application site should match the sensor size so that the sensor can neither fall off, nor apply excessive pressure. When using the M1195A Infant Finger Sensor,
