. The sensitivity levels are as follows:
NORM (Normal Sensitivity)
NORM is the recommended sensitivity mode for patients who
are experiencing some compromise in blood flow or perfusion. It
is advisable for care areas where patients are observed
frequently, such as an intensive care unit (ICU).
APOD® (Adaptive Probe Off Detection® Sensitivity)
APOD is the recommended sensitivity mode where there is a
high probability of the sensor becoming detached. It is also the
suggested mode for care areas where patients are not visually
monitored continuously. This mode delivers enhanced protection
against erroneous pulse rate and arterial oxygen saturation
readings when a sensor becomes inadvertently detached from a
patient due to excessive movement.
MAX (Maximum Sensitivity)
MAX is recommended sensitivity mode for patients with low
perfusion or when a
low perfusion
message displays in APOD or
NORM mode. MAX mode is not recommended for care areas
where patients are not monitored visually, such as general wards.
It is designed to interpret and display data at the measuring site
when the signal may be weak due to decreased perfusion. When
a sensor becomes detached from a patient, it will have
compromised protection against erroneous pulse rate and
arterial saturation readings.
Changing Sensitivity Modes
There are two ways to change the sensitivity modes.
