Options Description Settings*
Display PI
(Masimo only)
Configures whether or not to show the
perfusion 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 to non-pulsatile portion of the
measured signal caused by arterial 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
difficult. 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
continuous.
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.)
