Welch Allyn 6000 Series Connex Vital Signs Monitor - User Manual - Manual (Page 159)

Pulse rate is derived from one of three sensors based on your configuration: the SpO2
sensor, the NIBP sensor, or the EarlySense sensor. The source of Pulse rate
measurements appears in the lower left corner of the frame.
WARNING Inaccurate measurement risk. Pulse rate measurements
generated through the blood pressure cuff or through SpO2 are subject to
artifact and might not be as accurate as heart rate measurements
generated through ECG or through manual palpation.
Note You can specify pulse tone volume in the Pulse rate vertical tab (located in
the Settings > Setup tab).
Continuous Monitoring profile
The size of the pulse rate frame and displayed measurements varies based on your
configuration.
The Continuous Monitoring profile also provides a visual indication of aging episodic
measurements (those more than 16 minutes old). When a pulse rate measurement
derived from NIBP is displayed for more than 16 minutes, the numeric on the screen
changes from its current color to gray. (See the timestamp in the NIBP frame for actual
time of this measurement.) After one hour, this measurement is cleared from the frame.
