In Vivo Adjustment Overview
The In Vivo Adjustment feature lets clinicians manually adjust one or more clinical
parameters to match that of a corresponding laboratory reference for continuous trending. To
remind clinicians that the feature is active, an offset value displays alongside the adjusted
parameter value.
When the In Vivo Adjustment is set to On, the feature is active (turned on) and a positive or a
negative offset value appears, as shown in the following illustration.
The In Vivo offset is set to zero for any of the following:
• Cable or sensor is disconnect from instrument.
• Sensor goes off patient causing a sensor initialization to occur.
• Eight hours has elapsed since the In Vivo value was activated.
• Restore of factory defaults.
• The user turns off In Vivo.
Offset value
The offset value appears and indicates that In Vivo Adjustment is active. A positive value
means that the value is increased (according to a laboratory reference value as entered by a
clinician) and a negative value means the value is decreased (according to a laboratory
reference value as entered by a clinician).
In the example below, the SpO2 value is offset (highlighted) by -1.0 and SpHb is offset by
+0.4.
The In Vivo Adjustment feature can be set to On or Off. the factory default setting is Off. If set
to On, the parameter value is adjusted and an offset value appears. The offset value is set by
the user.
The feature applies to any of the following parameters:
