Display PI
(Masimo only)
Configures whether or not to show the perfu-
sion index (PI) value in the digital area.
The perfusion index allows clinicians to assess
the pulse strength at the monitoring site for
optimal sensor placement.
PI gives the numerical value for the pulsatile
portion of the measured signal caused by arte-
rial pulsation. PI is an indicator of the pulsatile
strength.
On, Off
Sensitivity
(Masimo only)
Selects the sensitivity mode depending upon
signal quality and patient motion.
High:
This mode should be used for the sickest
patients, where obtaining a reading is most diffi-
cult. High Sensitivity is designed to interpret and
display data for even the weakest of signals. This
mode is recommended during procedures and
when clinician and patient contact is continu-
ous.
Normal:
This mode provides the best combination of
sensitivity and probe off detection performance.
This mode is recommended for the majority of
patients.
APOD (Adaptive Probe Off Detection):
This mode is the least sensitive in picking up a
reading on patients with low perfusion but has
the best detection for probe-off conditions. This
mode is useful for patients that are at particular
risk of the sensor becoming detached (pediatric,
combative, etc.)
