Enter the name of the custom calibration.
The first portion of the calibration procedure involves scaling the height of the plethysmograph (pleth)
waveform. Usually, a scale factor of 4 is best, but may be increased or decreased in size if necessary. If
you wish to use a different scaling factor, adjust the scaling factor until a pleth waveform of adequate
size is viewed on the vital signs monitor, and there is also a SpO2 reading shown on the monitor.
For each calibration point, observe the target SpO
2
value in the calibration window in the software.
Slowly move the indicator to the left to decrease the SpO
2
value observed on the vital signs monitor or
to the right to increase the SpO
2
value on the vital signs monitor. It is recommended to use the left and
right arrow keys on the keyboard to make adjustments. Observe the vital signs monitor for changes in
the SpO
2
reading. Adjust the indicator until the target SpO
2
in the dialog window in the VitalsBridge
software matches or nearly matches the SpO
2
reading on the patient vital signs monitor. Then, click the
submit button to proceed to the next calibration point. Note: ignore the SpO
2
reading that is shown in
the Instructor Application during SpO
2
calibration.
