3. Push  or  to highlight a type value in the list. Below is the list of types in the

Product.

Nellcor Philips

Masimo Hihon

4. Push  to set the type value and go back to the SpO2 screen.
To test other manufacturer types of oximeters, you must download R-Curve data into the

Product through the USB Port. Oximeter R-Curve design and data download is done

through the Ansur functionality.

How to Test a Masimo Rainbow SpO2

When you set the SpO2 type parameter to Masimo Rainbow, you must connect the

Product to the monitor with the optional SpO2 Masimo Rainbow cable. See the Optional

Accessories table for a part number. The SpO2 screen shows three more parameters than

what is shown for other types of sensors: SpMet, SpCO, and SpHb.
SpMet, SpCO, and SpHb can not be set through the Product. The special Masimo

Rainbow cable sets them based on the measured SpO2 percent. At 100 %, SpMet = 0 %,

SpCO = 0 %, and SpHb = 25 g/dl. A -1 % change in SpO2 changes SpMet +0.3 %, SpCO

by +0.7 %, and SpHb by -0.5 %. SpHb does not change for values of SpO2 above 90 %.

Note

The ProSim 8 tests Masimo Rainbow technology with an optional adapter
supplied by Masimo that allows the ProSim two-wavelength to test the
Rainbow multiple wavelength system.

Note

Since a special Masimo testing sensor is required to connect the ProSim 8
to Masimo Rainbow Oximeter, the ProSim 8 only validates performance of
Oximeter, not the Masimo Rainbow sensor (the SpHb, SpCO and SpMet
values from the Masimo technology are generated based on the SpO2 value
provided to the test sensor and are not able to be changed independently).

How to Perform an Oximeter Limits Test

Most oximeters have alarms that can be set for the parameters it measures. The Product

can be used to trip the alarm as a test. Connect the Oximeter to the Product as shown in

Figure 47.

Oxygen Limits Test

You do a sensitivity test on an oximeter through SpO2 value adjustments. To do an

oxygen limits test:
1. Set the oxygen alarm limit value(s) on the oximeter.
2. From the SpO2 screen, push  or  to highlight the SpO2 value.
3. Push .
4. Push  to increase the oxygen saturation until the oximeter alarm sounds.
5. Push  to decrease the oxygen saturation until the oximeter alarm sounds.
