Enabling and Adjusting Alarms
Spacelabs Healthcare Technology
Pulse oximetry alarm limits and delays are set internally based upon
defined default values. Refer to the user manuals for your patient
monitor for details on operating system alarms.
To enable and adjust SpO
2
alarms (telemetry)
1 Touch ECG.
2 Touch ALARM LIMITS.
3 Touch SPO2 ALARM LIMITS.
4 Select SPO2 ALM / ON.
5 Select HI=, LO=, ALM DELAY, or MSG ALARM DELAY (if present).
6 Use the arrow keys to adjust.
Additional Information for Telemetry Products
When SpO
2
alarms are enabled, a bell symbol appears immediately
after the measured SpO
2
saturation percentage (%).
Data Averaging
Data averaging is performed internally on the telemetry transmitter.
The data averaging feature smooths the oximetry saturation value
by averaging patient input values over several seconds.
Te l em e t ry
For telemetry monitoring, the heart rate for the display is obtained
directly from the acquired ECG leads. In addition, the pulse rate is
obtained from the SpO
2
parameter. SpO
2
pulse rate is viewable in
the patient’s trends and on the 96281-C telemetry transmitter.
Heart Rate Averaging
On-Transmitter Heart Rate Display Performance
The 96281-B and 96281-C transmitters can show the patient’s heart
rate when the transmitter is in view mode. The heart rate shown on
the transmitter is to aid patient hook up and is indicative only; it is
not for diagnostic use. The heart rate shown on the transmitter is not
related to the heart rate shown on any central monitor/station. The
