Buttons, Indicators, and Alarms<br />
The %SPO2 Display (OXYGEN SATURATION PERCENTAGE)<br />
reports the percentage of oxygen circulating in the patient’s blood<br />
system. You will see a decimal point after this value if the upper<br />
and/or lower alarm limit has been changed since the monitor was<br />
last powered on.<br />
The %SPO2 ALARM LIMITS displays the currently set upper and<br />
lower limits for %SpO2 readings. When a reading exceeds a set<br />
limit, an alarm sounds.<br />
The PULSE AMPLITUDE Indicator (BLIP BAR) displays the pulse<br />
beat and the relative strength or amplitude of each beat. As the<br />
detected pulse becomes stronger, more bars light with each pulse.<br />
This indicator is available only in the blip view.<br />
The PULSE RATE Display (BPM) represents the number of times<br />
per minute that the patient’s heart beats. This reading is also<br />
referred to as the patient’s pulse rate. You will see a decimal point<br />
after this value if the upper and/or the lower alarm limit has been<br />
changed since the monitor was last powered on.<br />
The PULSE RATE (BPM) ALARM LIMITS displays the currently set<br />
upper and lower alarm limits for Pulse Rate (BPM) readings. When<br />
a reading exceeds a set limit, an alarm sounds. (See Setting Alarm<br />
Limits on page 41.)<br />
The Softkey Menu Bar displays the current functions for each of<br />
the four softkey buttons.<br />
