Surgivet® V1030 Hand-Held Pulse Oximeter

Chapter 1: Introduction
Notes
NOTE: The WW1090 rechargeable battery pack utilizes circuitry that optimizes the
charging of the batteries. New packs will require multiple charge / discharge
learning cycles before optimum performance is obtained.
NOTE: Alarms may be tested while the monitor is in use by setting alarm limits such that
the measured parameter is outside alarm limits. Return limits to the required
settings after testing.
NOTE: “SpO 2 averaging” means the number of pulse beats over which the SpO 2 value is
averaged; “pulse averaging” means the number of seconds over which the pulse
value is averaged.
NOTE: Increasing or decreasing the averaging setting has no effect on the data update
rate.
NOTE: Alarm limits are retained through power cycles, with the exception of the following
note.
NOTE: If the low SpO 2 limit is set to less than 90% it will be reset to 90% when the monitor
is next powered on. The high SpO 2 limit will be adjusted to 91% if it is 90% or less.
NOTE: If the alarm volume is set to a value less then 8 at power down, it will be reset to 8
when the monitor is next powered on.
NOTE: A Patient Simulator does not calibrate the monitor. The monitor does not require
calibration. A Patient Simulator provides a known SpO 2 and pulse rate to the
monitor that allows the monitor’s performance to be checked.
NOTE: A Patient Simulator cannot be used to assess the accuracy of a pulse oximeter
and/or sensor.
