Oximeter SpO2 Optical Emitter and Detector
The subject device provides Oximeter SpO2 optical emitter and detector capability,
which is solely intended to generate an optical signal to verify that the electronics within
the pulse oximeter probe are functional. The subject device presents pulse oximeter
equipment with a signal having a predictable value of ratio so that the operator can
observe the resulting displayed value of SpO2, and compare it to the expected value
derived from the calibration curve for that particular pulse oximeter equipment.
W Warning
The pulse oximeter component of the device is not intended to
validate the SpO2 accuracy of pulse oximeter equipment.
The pulse oximeter component of this device is not intended to
confirm the SpO2 accuracy of the calibration curve of the pulse
oximeter monitor or to assess the optical characteristics of
representative pulse oximeter probes to determine their proper
calibration.
Not all functional testers and pulse oximeter equipment are
compatible. Functional testers can vary in pulse methods, pulse
contours, and amplitude. A functional tester might not
accurately reproduce the calibration of the pulse oximeter
equipment and can yield different results between pulse
oximeter equipment.
Note
When the Type value is set to Masimo Rainbow, there will be more SpO2
parameters shown in the display than other types of sensors. See the How to
Test a Masimo Rainbow SpO2 section to learn about these parameters.
To set oximeter SpO2 optical emitter and detector parameters, push  to show the
screen in Figure 46 in the display.
