Front Display
The display shows the measurements for SpO
2
and Pulse Rate. It also shows a pulse strength
indicator, a pulse amplitude indicator and indicators for AC power and battery charge level.
Figure 3-1: Front Display
Pulse Amplitude Index Bar Graph - green / yellow
The pulse amplitude index bar graph is used to assist the operator in locating the oximetry
sensor site with the best pulse signal strength. A higher bar graph indicates a better quality
site. The bottom 2 bars turn yellow to indicate that the oximeter is receiving a low signal
quality from that sensor site.
External Power Indicator (
X
) - green
This indicator is lit when the device is receiving power from the AC adapter or USB cable.
Pulse Signal Strength Bar Graph - red
The pulse strength bar graph “sweeps” with the patient’s pulse beat. The height of the bar
graph is a logarithmic representation of the pulse signal strength.
Battery Charge Indicator - green (yellow if low)
The battery charge indicator shows the current state of charge of the installed battery.
LED segments will disappear as the battery becomes weaker. When only one LED is lit and
flashing yellow, the batteries will expire within minutes; replace the batteries.
NOTE! This indicator is OFF if AA batteries are installed and
X
is illuminated.
SpO
2
Numeric Display - red
A number shows the patient’s functional oxygen saturation value in percent. Dashes (--)
indicate the monitor is not able to calculate the SpO
2
value.
Pulse Rate Numeric Display - red
A number shows the patient’s pulse rate value in beats per minute. Dashes (---) indicate the
monitor is not able to calculate the pulse rate value.
