Viewing real-time patient data
SpO2
Introduction
NOTE
SpO2 and SPO2 are used interchangeably throughout this manual to refer to
pulse oximetry.
The transmitter supports the Apex oximeter and the Xpod oximeter. Unless specified,
oximeter refers to both units.
The Xpod oximeter connects to the transmitter and provides the following oximetry
vital signs for display at the CIC Pro center:
 arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2)
 peripheral pulse rate (PPR)
 perfusion quality indicator
The Apex oximeter functions as a stand-alone device, and displays digital values for
SpO2 and pulse rate. When the Apex oximeter is connected to the transmitter, digital
values for SpO2 and pulse rate are also displayed at the CIC Pro center.
NOTE
When monitoring SpO2 using an transmitter, an SpO2 waveform is neither
generated nor displayed on the Apex oximeter or CIC Pro center. Additionally,
no alarm histories are generated or stored.
SpO2 in the multi-patient viewer
In the multi-patient viewer, the bed window for a telemetry patient being monitored
for SpO2 displays the current SpO2 value; one, two, or three asterisks indicating
signal strength; and, if turned on, the derived pulse rate for the patient. Below is an
example of a telemetry patient’s bed window in the multi-patient viewer.
