SpO2 Monitoring: Introduction
Introduction
NOTE
SpO2 and SPO2 are used interchangeably throughout this manual to
refer to pulse oximetry.
The ApexPro transmitter supports the Apex Oximeter and the Xpod
Oximeter. Unless specified, “oximeter” refers to both units.
The Xpod Oximeter connects to the ApexPro transmitter and provides
the following oximetry vital signs for display at the CIC Pro:
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 ApexPro transmitter, digital values for SpO2 and pulse
rate are also displayed at the CIC Pro.
NOTE
When monitoring SpO2 using an ApexPro transmitter, an SpO2
waveform is neither generated nor displayed on the Apex Oximeter
or CIC Pro. Additionally, no alarm histories are generated or stored.
