Masimo Rainbow is the first technology to noninvasively measure blood constituents and fluid responsiveness that previously required invasive procedures. Besides measuring arterial oxygen-saturation level (SpO2) and pulse rate, Rainbow technology measures following parameters as well: Hemoglobin (SpHb), Carboxyhemoglobin (SpCO) and Methemoglobin (SpMet).
1 count is equal to 1 % of SpO2 saturation. For example, if a customer tests Nellcor sensor at 95 %, he should expect the Nellcor monitor reads within "1 count" value which could be either 94 % or 96 % + accuracy of UUT.
SaO2 read from a pulse oximeter is SpO2. This has become a standard in recent years.
With the pulse oximeter turned on, look for the visible red light coming from the probe. This side of the pulse oximeter finger probe must go on the SpO2 Test Module with a metal plate attachment.
No, ProSim only does optical testing for SpO2. Fluke Biomedical Index 2 SpO2 Analyser does both electrical and optical SpO2 testing.
Alarm hazards ranks second on the Heath Technology Hazards of 2011. The Boston Globe recently reported the death of a patient whose treatment have been delayed because a critical physiologic monitoring alarm had been turned off.

After insertion of a Swanz-Ganz catheter into a vein (usually the basilic vein of the forearm), the catheter is gently guided by the flow of the blood into the pulmonary artery. A monitor attached to the distal lumen port supplies a reading of pulmonary-artery pressure (PAP). Pulmonary-capillary-wedge pressure (PCWP) is determined by inflating the balloon, which becomes wedged; when this wedge blocks blood flow, it provides a reading of the pressure in the left side of the heart.
ACLS means Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS). ACLS algorithms includes waveforms from Ventricular Fibrillation, Atria Fibrillation to Complete Heart Block.
