6.1.4.6. Sweep Rate
The sweep rate setting determines the speed at with the ECG waveform trace moves across
the display. You can change the waveform sweep rate between 25 mm/s and 50 mm/s by
selecting the appropriate setting under the ECG menu.
To adjust the sweep rate follow these steps:
1. Touch the ECG vital sign box
2. Touch Sweep button
3. Select 25 mm/s or 50 mm/s
4. Touch Back button to close the menu

6.2. Pulse Oximetry Monitoring
Pulse oximetry is used to continuously and noninvasively measure functional oxygen saturation
in the blood. Pulse oximetry is measured by using changes in light absorption, as the light
passes over a pulsating arteriolar bed. Pulse oximetry is also used to continuously and
noninvasively measure pulse rate, using a SpO
2
sensor.
The pulse oximetry sensor contains two light-emitting diodes (LEDs). These LEDs emit specific
wavelengths of red and infrared light, which are measured by a photo detector. The oPOD
(SpO
2
) utilizes the Masimo SET technology for determining the pulse and SpO
2
, which is
transmitted to the 3880 Monitor for display of pulse rate and functional oxygen saturation as
percent SpO
2
. See the appendix for The Masimo SET Technology.
! WARNING
• If any measurement seems questionable, first check the patient’s vital signs by alternate
means and then check the pulse oximeter, oPOD for proper functioning.
• Use only sensors specified and authorized by
IRadimed.
• Disposable SpO2 sensor attachments are designed for single patient use and must be
disposed of after use. They must not be cleaned and reused. Follow your hospital’s
