Surgivet® V1030 Hand-Held Pulse Oximeter

Chapter 4: Operating Instructions
The PI value is represented as a 9-segment bar graph. The more bars lit, the higher the PI value,
and generally the better the sensor site. If only the first one or two segments are lit, the segment
color changes to yellow, indicating a technical alert condition. This indicates that the oximeter is
receiving a low signal quality from that sensor site, and further degradation of the signal quality
could cause the oximeter to lose its ability to obtain readings. A different sensor site should be
considered.
The PI value approximately maps to a 9-segment bar graph as shown below. The two lowest bars
(1 and 2) 2 are bi-color (yellow and green), and bars 3 through 9 are green.
