Alarm verification when the system is poweredon
When the monitor is being powered on, audible and
visible alarms (yellow or red indicator) will be selI tested.
Every time the monitor is powered on, the system beeps
and yellow and red indicators light about 4 seconds
simultaneously. II no beep is heard or no alarm indicator
lights, please do not use this device Ior any patient and
contact customer Service.
When multiple alarms oI diIIerent levels occur
simultaneously, alarm indicator Ilashes red (high
level) and messages oI other alarms with respective
background colors wiil appear circularly on the
screen..
II two or several alarms with similar levels
occure simultaneously, their message will be
displayed circularly.
Alarm Causes
66
Alarm Causes
An alarm occurs when it is triggered by a parameter or
when there is some system problem.
Time delay between occuring alarm conditions to
displaying alarm signs (parameter blinking, message
blinking and indicator Ilashing) is up to 50 mS.
ARIA monitor is designed in a way that you are capable
oI recognizing alarm occurance Irom 1 meter distance in
Iront oI it.
Conditions that trigger the parameter alarms:
When the measurement numeric value violates the adjusted
alarm limits and the alarm is in "ON" mode, an alarm
occurs. In case oI ASYSTOLE or APNEA detection, alarm
will occur even iI the alarm system is in "OFF" mode.
Alarms and Silence keys
67
SILENCE Key
By pressing "Silence" key, you can disable all alarm
sounds Ior 2 minutes. A countdown timer and a Silence
symbol are displayed alternately every 5 sec above the

ECG Monitoring
General Information
Through the ECG Monitoring, you can see a
continuous waveIorm oI the patient's cardiac
electric activity which enables physician to perIorm
a precise assessment oI patient current physiological
condition. The process oI depolarization and
repolarization oI the myocardium generates an
electric potential that are sensed by ECG electrodes
on the skin.
General Information ECG
72
These electrodes are typically attached to the patient's
right arm, leIt arm and leIt leg .The monitor processes and
ampliIies this signal and displays it as ECG waveIorm on
the screen. Proper connection oI the ECG cables and
electrodes can ensure accurate assessment.
According to standard AAMI:EC13:2002, it shall
take up to 10 seconds to change heart rate Irom 80
to 120 bpm which in Aria monitor is about 6
seconds.
According to standard AAMI:EC13:2002 it shall
take up to 10 seconds to change heart rate Irom 80
to 40 bpm which in Aria monitor is 8 seconds.
When Tachycardia (HR 200 bpm) happens,
system takes 6 seconds to sound alarm.( In this
case the low limit alarm should be set to 60 bpm
and high limit alarm to 100 bpm.)
It takes 10 seconds to sound alarm when a cardiac
arrest happens (Irom 80 bpm to 0 bpm)
The above results are Ior HR average oI 4 seconds.
General Information ECG
73
The ECG module is able to reject 1.2 mV TALL-T
The current that is applied to the patient Ior
lead-sensing is 90nA.
Noise suppression circuit: A noise signal oI 10 A
is given reversely to the reIerence lead.
The ECG patient cable consists oI 2 parts: The
cable that is connected to the monitor and the lead
set that is connected to the patient.
During electric shock , do not touch patient,
monitor and bed while monitoring.
Use only the recommended manuIacturer ECG
cable Ior monitoring. Other ECG cables and leads
may cause improper system perIormance and
decrease saIety during deIibrillation.
General Information ECG
74
Line Isolation Monitor (LIM) transient may
generates waveIorms similar to the actual cardiac
waveIorms and thus trigger heart rate alarms. Such
transients may be minimized by proper electrode and
cable placement as later described in this chapter .
InterIerence Irom non-grounded devices near
the patient or electrosurgical units can cause
inaccurate ECG waveIorm.
When you connect the cables and electrodes,
make sure that no metal part oI electrods is in
contact with the saIety ground. check that all ECG
electrodes are correctly attached to the patient.
General Information ECG
75
1. Prepare the patient`s skin beIore electrode placement.
u proper skin preparation is necessary Ior good
electrode placement, as the skin is a poor conductor
oI electricity.
u Shave the selected sites iI necessary.
u Cleanse the site with a mild soap and water
solution.(Never use pure alcohol, because it
increases body resistance.)
u Gently rub the skin surIace to increase capillary
blood Ilow in the tissues .
2. Place chest leads on the patient. II your chest lead has
not conductive gel, apply some conductive gel on
intended site oI the skin.(Iigures 1-4 and 4-2)
3. Attach the clips or snaps to the chest leads beIore
placing them.
General Information ECG
76
Figure 4-1 ECG 3-lead electrode placement
Use only one type oI electrode on the same
patient to avoid variations in electrical resistance.
For ECG monitoring, it is recommended to use
silver/silver chloride electrode. When dissimilar
metals are used Ior diIIerent electrodes, the
electrodes may cause large oIIset potentials due to
polarization which it can cause problems with ECG
waveIorm. Using dissimilar metals may also increase
recovery time aIter deIibrillation.
General Information ECG

replace the electrodes or change the application site.
General Information ECG
82
VeriIy the cable Iault detection prior to start
monitoring phase. Unplug the ECG cable Irom the
socket, the monitor will display the error message
"ECG NO CABLE" on the screen.
ECG cable may be damaged iI it is connected
to the patient during deIibrillation. Cables which
have been connected to the patient during
deIibrillation should be checked Iunctionally beIore
being used again.
II ECG waveIorm is not accurate while the
electrodes are properly attached, try to change the
lead.
General Information ECG
83
When using Electro cautery equipment, leads
should be placed in a long distance Irom the
dispersive electrode and electro cautery pencil to
prevent unwanted burns .
Depending on type oI surgery, ECG leads are placed
in diIIerent positions. For example electrodes should
be placed horizontally on the chest(rib cage) or back
in open heart surgery. InterIerences Irom electro
cautery equipment may cause problems with the
ECG waveIorm. To avoid these interIaces, place
electrodes near the right or leIt shoulder and above
the tummy. Never place electrodes above the arm
(except Ior weak ECG signal).
General Information ECG
84
When using electro cautery equipment, never
place ECG electrodes near the Return electrode oI
the electro cautery, otherwise there will be a great
deal oI interIerence with the ECG signal.
Patient burning is probable due to an improper
connection oI the dispersive electrode oI electro
cautery.
interIerence Irom non-grounded devices or
electro cautery near the patient can cause inaccurate
ECG waveIorm.
General Information ECG
85
Normal QRS waveIorm contains:
. Tall R-wave completely above or below the
baseline.
. T -wave less than one-third oI the R-wave
height.
. P-wave much smaller than the T -wave.

General Information ECG
86
Do not immerse ECG leads completely in
water, solvents or cleaning solutions because the
connectors are not waterprooI. Do not sterilize ECG
cable by irradiation, steam, or ethylene oxide.
For the patients with pacemaker, the monitor
may continue to count the pacemaker heartbeat rates
during occurrence oI cardiac arrest or arrhythmia.
Do not rely entirely upon monitor alarms. Keep
paced patients under close surveillance.
Pay attention that signals with slope oI up to
1V/s would not be considered as pace pulses.

Monitoring RESP
General Information
The monitor measures respiration Irom the amount
oI thoracic impedance between two ECG electrodes
(RA-LL, RA-LA). The changes oI impedance
between the two electrodes, (due to the thoracic
movement), produce a respiratory waveIorm on the
screen.
The signal with Irequency greater than 62.5KHZ is
applied to the patient Ior respiration measurement.
RESP General Information
104
For RESP monitoring, it is not necessary Ior additional
electrodes, however, position oI electrodes is important.
Some patients, due to their clinical condition, expand their
chest laterally, causing a negative intrathoracic pressure.
In these cases it is better to place the two RESP electrodes
laterally in the right auxiliary and leIt lateral chest areas at
the maximum point oI breathing movement to optimize
the respiratory waveIorm.
The RESP monitoring is not recommended to
be used on patients, who are very active, as this can
cause Ialse alarms.
RESP General Information
105
Preparing patient Ior RESP monitoring:
1- Prepare the patient's skin beIore placing the electrodes.
2- Attach the electrodes to the patient and the cable.
3- Switch on the monitor
Place the red and green electrodes diagonally
to optimize the respiration waveIorm. Avoid the
liver area and the ventricles oI the heart in the line
between the RESP electrodes to prevent artiIacts
Irom pulsating blood Ilow. This is particularly
important Ior neonates.

Principle of operation:
1. Oxyhemoglobin (oxygenated), deoxyhemoglobin
(non-oxhygenated blood), carboxyhemoglobin
(blood with carbon monoxide content),
methemoglobin (blood with oxidized
hemoglobin) and blood plasma constituents diIIer
in their absorption oI visible and inIrared light
(using spectrophotometry).
Figure 6-2 Absorption Spectra
2. The amount oI arterial blood in tissue changes
with your pulse (photoplethysography) .
General Information SPO2
119
ThereIore, the amount oI light obsorbed by the
varying quantities oI arterial blood changes as
well.
A multi-wavelenght sensor is used to distinguish between
oxygenated blood, deoxygenated blood, blood with carbon
monoxide, oxidized blood and blood plasma. This sensor
is utilized with various light-emitting diodes (LEDs) that
pass light through the site to a photodiode (detector).
Signal data is obtained by passing various visible and
inIrared lights (LED's, 500 to 1400 nm) through a
capillary bed (Iore example, a Iingertip, a hand, a Ioot)
and measurimg changes in light absorption during thr
blood pulsatile cycle. This inIormation may be useIul to
clinicians. The maximum radiant power oI the strongest
light is rated at 25 mW. The detector receives the light,
converts it into an electronic signal and sends it to the
module Ior calculation.
Figure 6-3 Light Emitting Diods and Detector
General Information SPO2
120
Once the signal is received Irom the sensor, it utilizes
Masimo Rainbow SET signal extraction thecnology to
calculate the patient's Iunctional oxygen saturation (SPO2
()), blood levels oI carboxy hemoglobin (SpCO ()),
methemoglobin (SpMet ()), Total Hemoglobin
concentration (SpHb g/dl) and pulse rate (PR (BPM)). The
SpCO, SpMet and SpHb measurements rely on a
multiwavelenght calibration equation to quantiIy the
percentage oI carbon monoxide and methemoglobin and
the cincentration oI total hemoglobin in arterial blood. In
an ambient temperature oI 35 C the maximum skin
surIace temperature has been measured at less than 106 F
(41 C), veriIied by Masimo sensor skin temperature test
procedure.
Signal Extraction Technology (SET)
Signal Extraction Technology signal proccessing diIIers
Irom conventional pulse oximeters. Conventional pulse
oximeters assume that arterial blood is the only blood
moving (pulsating) in the measurement site. During
patient motion, however, the venous blood also moves,
causing conventional pulse oximeters to read low valuse,
because the y cannot distinguish between the arterial and
venous blood movement (sometimes reIered to as noise).
General Information SPO2
121
Masimo SET pulse oximetry utilizes parallel engines and
adaptive digital Iiltering. Adaptive Iilters are powerIul
because they are able to adapt to the varying physiologic
signals and/or separate them by looking at the whole
signal and breaking it down to its Iundamental
components. The Masimo SET signal proccessing
algorithm, Descrete Saturation TransIorm (DST), reabily
identiIies the noise, isolates it and, using adaptive Iilters,
cancels it. It then reports the true arterial oxygen
saturation Ior display on the monitor.
A pulseoximetry is an early warning system.
Use lab co-oximeter to understand the patient's
condition completely.
For more inIormation about Masimo Rainbow
module , please reIer to APPENDIX III.
General Information SPO2
122
Assessment oI pulse oximeter probe or a pulse
oximeter monitor accuracy can not be perIormed by
simulators and Iunctional testers.
Use only the recommended manuIacturer
SPO2 sensors. Other SPO2 sensors may cause
improper monitor perIormance.
Regarding the installed SPO2 module in the
system, use suitable sensor speciIied in chapter 14.
BeIore using sensor, consider sensor direction
Ior use, written on the package such as patient's age
and weight or iI the sensor is reusable or disposable.
General Information SPO2
123
Pulseoximetry may overestimate the SPO2
value in the presence oI Hb-CO, Met-Hb or dye
dilution chemicals.
Electro cautery wire and SPO2 cable must not
be tangled up.
SPO2 module updates the displayed
parameters every 1 second.
Do not apply the sensor on the hand with
arterial catheter or venous syringe.
General Information SPO2
124
Do not perIorm SPO2 and NIBP measuring in
the same arm simultaneously; because obstruction oI
blood Ilow during NIBP measurement may
adversely aIIect the SPO2 value.
High ambient light sources such as surgical
lights (especially those with a xenon light source),
bilirubin lamps, Iluorescent lights, inIrared heating
lamps and direct sunlight can interIere with the
perIormance oI an SPO2 sensor. To prevent
interIerence Irom ambient lights, ensure that the
sensor is properly applied and cover the sensor site
with opaque material. Failure to take this action in
high ambient light conditions may result in
inaccurate measurements.

Cabling entanglement or strangulation.
General Information SPO2
129
Placement oI the sensor on a site that has a blood
pressure cuII, arterial catheter, or intravascular line.
Prolonged and continuous SPO2 monitoring
may cause unexpected change oI dermal condition
such as abnormal sensitivity, vesicle, repressive
putrescence, and so on. It is especially important to
check the sensor placement oI neonate and patient oI
poor perIusion. Check per 2-3 hours the sensor
placement and move it when the skin deteriorates.
Tissue damage can be caused by incorrect
application oI sensors, Ior example by pasting the
sensor or by wrapping it too tightly.
General Information SPO2
130
Do not immerse sensor completely in water,
solvents, or cleaning solutions because the sensor
and its connector are not waterprooI.

NORMAL .
The perIusion threshold has diIIerent limits as the
perIusion calculation is data dependent .Specially; There
is an intelligent algorithm which adjusts the low
perIusion limit in accordance with the quality oI the
incoming plethysmography waveIorm between 0.50
and 0.02. This mode provides the best combination oI
sensitivity and probe-oII detection perIormance. This
mode is recommended Ior the majority oI patients.
MAX .
Recognizing that some clinicians may want the absolute
low perIusion perIormance (0.02) all oI the monitoring
time and may be willing to ignore sensor oII detection,
they can achieve this by setting SPO2 SENS MODE to
SPO2 Alarm Messages
133
MAX. This mode is recommended Ior patients in critical
conditions. Maximum Sensitivity is designed to interpret
and display data Ior even the weakest oI signals.
This mode is recommended during surgeries and when
clinician and patient contact is continuous.
In MAX mode, the message "SPO2 MAX SENS." Is
displayed on the screen with white colour.
APOD .
This mode is not advisable Ior patients with low
perIusion because the system has the least sensitivity to
signal changes in this mode. It is used in situations

Monitoring NIBP
General Information
NIBP (Non-invasive Blood Pressure) processing by
the monitor uses the oscillometric measuring
technique. A motorized pump inIlates the cuII
initially, until the pressure eIIectively occludes Ilow
oI blood in the extremity. Then, under monitor
control, the pressure in the cuII is gradually reduced,
until a pressure transducer detects air pressure and
transmits a signal to the NIBP circuit.
NIBP General Information
150
As the cuII pressure is reduced, blood Ilows in the
previously occluded artery and changes the measured
pressure values sensed by the transducer. The point at
which oscillation increases sharply is deIined as systolic
pressure. As the cuII continues to deIlate, oscillation
amplitude increases to a maximum, and then decreases.
The peak oscillation amplitude is deIined as the mean
arterial pressure. The point at which the system detects a
loss oI oscillation is deIined as the diastolic pressure.
Blood pressure measurement according to this method is
equivalent to the cuII-stethoscope method.
u This module has been designed in accordance with EN
1060-1: Non-invasive sphygmomanometers Part 1:
General requirements
u It is applicable Ior adults and neonates.
u There are three modes oI measurement available:
manual , automatic and stat.
NIBP General Information
151
In the manual mode, only one measurement is
perIormed.
In the AUTO mode, the measurement is cycled.
You can set the interval time to 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 15,
20, 30, 45 minutes and 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24
hours.
In STAT mode, measurement is perIormed up to ten
times during 5 minutes and with 30s interval
between measurements. In case oI any error, the
pressure measurement is suspended.
Use only recommended manuIacturer Blood
Pressure CuIIs and Hose. Using other cuIIs or hoses
may result in inaccuracies.
NIBP General Information
152
1. You must not perIorm NIBP measurement on
patients under any condition which the skin is
damaged or expected to be damaged.
2. Ensure that the correct setting is selected when
perIorming measurements on children. pressure
measurement Ior children in adult mode may cause
damage to extremity.
Do not apply the cuII to a limb that has an
intravenous inIusion or catheter in place. This
could cause tissue damage around the catheter
when inIusion is slowed or blocked during cuII
inIlation.
Make sure that the air hose oI the cuII is
neither blocked nor tangled.
NIBP General Information
153
Blood pressure measurement can be aIIected
by the position oI the cuII and patient's physiological
condition.
In this module the maximum cuII inIlation
pressure is 288 mmHg in adult mode and it is 146
mmHg Ior neonate mode. Furthermore independent
maximum pressure control preservative is Iorecasted
inside the system.
Also maximum time oI being under pressure Ior cuII
has been limited to 2 minutes in each measurement,
however it is necessary that operators pay attention
that long-time and continuous measurements can
result in muscular and neurotic harms or dermal
injuries.

Measurement Limitations
In diIIerent patient conditions, the oscillometric
measurement has certain limitations. The measurement is
in search oI regular arterial pressure pulses. In those
circumstances, when the patient's condition makes it
diIIicult to detect, the measurement becomes unreliable
and measuring time increases. The user should be aware
that the Iollowing conditions could interIere the
measurement and make the measurement unreliable or
longer. In some cases, the patient's condition will make a
measurement impossible.
Patient movement
Measurements will be unreliable or may not be possible iI
the patient is moving, shivering or having convulsions.
These motions may interIere the detection oI the arterial
pressure pulses. In addition, the measurement time will be
prolonged.
NIBP General Information
160
Cardiac Arrhythmia
Measurements will be unreliable and may not be possible
iI the patient's cardiac arrhythmia causes an irregular heart
beat. Thus the measuring time will be prolonged.
Heart - Lung Machine
Measurements will not be possible iI the patient is
connected to a heart-lung machine.
Pressure Changes
Measurements will be unreliable and may not be possible
iI the patient's blood pressure changes rapidly over a short
period oI time.
Severe Shock
II the patient is in severe shock or hypothermia,
measurements will be unreliable because oI reduced
pulsation oI the arteries.
Abnormal Heart Rate
Measurements can not be perIormed at a heart rate oI less
than 40 bpm and greater than 240 bpm.

APPENDIX III
MASIMO MODULE
Signal Extraction Technology
INTRODUCTION
Masimo SET pulse oximetry is a new and Iundamentally
distinct method oI acquiring, processing and reporting
arterial oxygen saturation and pulse rate. As illustrated
below, Masimo SET technology enables the power oI
adaptive Iilters to be applied to real-time physiologic
monitoring by utilizing proprietary techniques to
accurately establish a 'noise reIerence in the detected
physiologic signal, thus enabling the direct calculation oI
arterial oxygen saturation and pulse rate. Because it is not
bound by a conventional 'red over inIrared ratio
approach, the Masimo SET system substantially
eliminates the problems oI motion artiIact, low peripheral
perIusion and most low signal-to-noise situations. This
greatly extends the utility oI SpO2 in high motion, low
signal and noise intensive environments.
31
Discrete Saturation Transformation (DST)
Algorithm
Masimo SET's most powerIul algorithm is DST. All
algorithms depend upon assumptions. The more
assumptions, the weaker the algorithm. DST makes only
one assumption - that arterial blood has a higher
oxygenation than venous making it the most powerIul
pulse oximetry algorithm.
32
CONVENTIONAL FILTERS
While pulse oximetry is readily accepted as a standard oI
care in the Operating Room, Recovery Room and most
Intensive Care Units, its perIormance in high motion
environments or in patients with low perIusion is
substantially less than ideal. The reported high incidence
oI Ialse alarms due to motion artiIact and the inability oI
conventional pulse oximetry systems to provide
inIormation during times oI crisis have led to its
characterization as a 'Iair weather Iriend. ConIronted
with the problem oI motion artiIact, Ialse alarms and poor
"signal to noise" environments, medical equipment
manuIacturers have utilized band-pass Iiltering in an
attempt to address these conIounding clinical problems.
Band-pass Iilters, whether in analog or digital Iorm, are
designed to allow only a physiologic window oI interest to
pass while rejecting Irequencies outside the desired
Irequency band. With the advent oI Digital Signal
Processing (Digital Filtering), the perIormance oI band-
pass Iiltering was improved, but was still unable to
address the problem oI noise occurring within the
bandwidth oI interest.
33
ADAPTIVE FILTERS
To address the conIounding issue oI "in-band" noise, a
class oI Iilters known as adaptive digital Iilters has
evolved. These Iilters take advantage oI the Iact that the
construction oI the Iilter itselI is contained within the
memory oI the microprocessor, allowing its multiplication
coeIIicients, symbolized as W0, W1,...Wn-1, to be
changed in real time, hence altering the Iilter's
characteristic. Thus, the Iilter can be tuned 'on the Ily.
The multiplication coeIIicients determine whether the
Irequency components oI an input signal should be
cancelled (e.g., multiplied by zero) or allowed to pass
(e.g., multiplied by one). Given that the Iilter's coeIIicients
can be rapidly changed, adaptive Iilters derive their name
34
in their ability to change their Iiltering characteristics in
response to changing in-band noise.
The detected physiologic signal is generally composed oI
both desired signal (S) and undesired signal (N) or noise
portions. To remove the eIIects oI the undesired signal,
some knowledge oI the noise characteristics, or
equivalently its noise reIerence (N'), must be known. The
adaptive Iilter will adjust its Iiltering characteristics, so
that the noise reIerence input is transIormed into an
estimate oI the undesired signal portion (N`) oI the
physiologic signal. A subtracter subsequently removes the
undesired signal Irom the physiologic signal to yield an
estimate oI the desired signal portion (S`). The
combination comprising the adaptive Iilter and the
subtracter is commonly called an adaptive noise canceller
(ANC).
35
This approach has been widely used in the
telecommunications and aerospace industries where a
suitable noise reIerence is accessible. Probes are utilized
to obtain a noise reIerence that can then be used in
conjunction with an adaptive noise canceller to extract a
desired signal portion Irom a composite signal containing
both desired and undesired signal portions. The problem
in applying this technique to physiological monitoring is
that a noise reIerence is rarely available. In addition, both
the noise and the desired signal vary Irom patient to
patient and are quickly and continually changing in terms
oI Irequency, amplitude and phase, even within the same
patient. In pulse oximetry, the noise reIerence signal
required to make an adaptive noise canceller work in real
time was unavailable until the advent oI Masimo Signal
Extraction Technology.
CONVENTIONAL PULSE OXIMETRY
The conventional "red over inIrared" approach measures
the diIIerential optical density oI red (o) and inIrared (Iir)
light as projected through a vascular bed and calculates a
ratio (r) oI the optical densities. Utilizing the optical
density ratio, an arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2) value is
empirically reported based on the ratio obtained.
36
In the presence oI patient motion, the optical densities oI
red and inIrared light contain noise portions (Nrd, Nir),
thereby Ialsely altering the optical density ratio and
providing an inaccurate saturation value. During periods
oI routine patient motion or low perIusion, the noise
components within the physiologic signals can be much
larger than the desired signals (Srd, Sir). In these cases,
the optical density ratio is primarily determined by the
noise contributions. This represents a situation whereby
the noise is simply 'drowning out the desired signal.
37
In a large noise environment, conventional wisdom holds
that pulse oximetry will yield an optical density ratio
substantially equivalent to "noise over noise" or a ratio oI
one. This is equivalent to a saturation value oI
approximately 82 in most conventional systems.
ConIronted with the problems oI overwhelming noise and
prevented Irom utilizing adaptive digital Iilters, pulse
oximetry manuIacturers have resorted to 'managing Ialse
alarms. This can include extending averaging times or
employing a decision matrix to Ireeze when it decides it
has detected motion. II the motion persists, it reports zero.
The attempt to treat the "symptom" rather than the 'core
problem does not provide clinicians with continuous real-
time inIormation and can be unreliable in critical medical
situations.
38
MASIMO SET PULSE OXIMETRY
Masimo Signal Extraction Technology rejects the
conventional wisdom and begins with an understanding
that during patient motion the venous blood, being at a
relatively low pressure, is quite susceptible to the local
eIIects oI perturbation during motion. Considering the
Iinger Ior example, the venous blood in the vascular bed
will be easily deIormed during motion, representing a
signiIicant source oI in-band noise within the Irequency
bandwidth oI interest. In addition, the venous blood is a
strong absorber oI light. Hence, it can represent a
signiIicant contributor to the total optical density during
motion episodes. Furthermore, the venous blood
saturation is normally lower than the arterial blood
saturation. This explains why saturation values tend to
drop in conventional pulse oximeter systems during
episodes oI patient motion.
During routine patient motions (shivering, waving,
tapping, etc.), the resulting noise can be quite substantial
and can easily overwhelm a conventional ratio based
oximetry system. Having identiIied the venous blood as a
signiIicant contributor to noise during motion, it Iollows
that iI the noise reIerence corresponding to the venous
component could be measured, then an adaptive noise
canceller might be utilized to cancel its contribution.
39
GENERATING A NOISE REFERENCE
The detected physiologic signals in response to both red
(Ird) and inIrared (Iir) light consist oI desired signal
portions (Srd, Sir) as well as undesired signal portions
(Nrd, Nir). It is commonly understood in pulse oximetry
that the desired signal portions are proportional to one
another through the arterial optical density ratio (ra). This
suggests that one should simply subtract the product oI the
arterial optical density ratio and the physiologic signal due
to inIrared light Irom the physiologic signal due to red
light. The resultant is a reIerence signal that contains only
noise portions. This is the noise reIerence signal (N`)
40
II the arterial optical density ratio is known, one can easily
calculate the noise reIerence as just described. However, iI
it were known, one could simply calculate the arterial
oxygen saturation directly. One would not need to utilize
the adaptive noise cancellation process. How does one
then use the power oI adaptive Iilters and noise reIerence
signals Ior pulse oximetry? The answer lies in the Discrete
Saturation TransIorm algorithm.
DISCRETE SATURATION TRANSFORM
The Discrete Saturation TransIorm algorithm allows one
to separate and, consequently, calculate the optical density
ratios that correspond to both the arterial oxygen
saturation (ra) and an estimate oI the venous oxygen
saturation (rv).
These optical densities are not known beIorehand but are
required to obtain the appropriate reIerence signals Ior
41
adaptive noise cancellation. Every optical density ratio,
corresponding to the patient`s physiological range (SpO2
1 to 100) must be considered. ThereIore, the DST
algorithm not only uses a noise reIerence signal, but a
whole Iamily oI reIerence signals. Each reIerence signal is
used in the adaptive noise cancellation process and each
yields inIormation regarding the oxygen saturation content
oI the physiological signals.
A Iamily oI reIerence signals, N'(r), is generated similar to
that oI a noise reIerence signal. The reIerence signal, as
discussed earlier, is the diIIerence between the
physiologic signal due to red light (Ird) and the product oI
an arbitrary optical density ratio (r) and the physiologic
signal due to inIrared light (Ird). Although there is a
Iamily oI reIerence signals, based on the selected optical
density ratio, there are only three distinct cases to
consider. II one selects an optical density ratio that does
not correspond to either arterial or venous oxygen
saturation (Case I), the reIerence signal consists oI a
42
desired signal portion and an undesired signal portion. In
the adaptive noise cancellation process, such a signal will
not only remove the undesired signal portions oI the
physiologic signal, but also remove the desired signal
portions. When an optical density ratio that corresponds to
the venous oxygen saturation is selected (Case II), the
reIerence signal only contains signal portions. ThereIore,
the output oI the adaptive noise canceller will consist
oI the undesired signal portions only. Similarly, when an
optical density ratio that corresponds to the arterial
oxygen saturation is selected (Case III), the reIerence
signal only contains noise portions. ThereIore, the output
oI the adaptive noise canceller will consist oI the desired
signal portions only.
43
For each selected value oI the optical density ratio, the
corresponding reIerence signal is calculated and
subsequently processed through an adaptive noise
canceller.
When the selected value Ior the optical density ratio does
not correspond to either the arterial or the venous oxygen
saturation (Case I), the corresponding output signal will
contain little power. When the selected value Ior the
optical density corresponds to either the venous oxygen
saturation (Case II) or the arterial oxygen saturation (Case
III), the output signal will contain signiIicant output
power.
The power output oI the adaptive noise canceller
represents the probability that the selected optical density
ratio, or its corresponding saturation value, is present in
the physiologic signal. The output power or probability
value is plotted Ior a series oI consecutive ratio values
generating the DST transIorm. During periods oI no
44
motion, a singular peak is generated in the DST transIorm
corresponding to the arterial oxygen saturation.
In summary, the procedure Ior determining the arterial
oxygen saturation utilizing Masimo SET processing is as
Iollows:
1) Sweep all optical density ratios that correspond to
oxygen saturations oI 1 to 100.
2) Compute the reIerence signal Ior each optical density
ratio.
45
3) Measure the output power oI the adaptive noise
canceller Ior each reIerence signal.
4) IdentiIy the appropriate peak in the DST transIorm that
corresponds to the arterial oxygen saturation (largest
SpO2 value).
The procedure demonstrates another important Ieature oI
Masimo SET pulse oximetry. It is able to calculate the
arterial oxygen saturation without Iirst extracting or
determining discrete pulses in the physiologic data. For
Masimo SET processing, the saturation algorithm is
independent oI the pulse rate algorithm. This is a
signiIicant distinction between Masimo SET systems and
conventional pulse oximetry systems where the
recognition oI a clean pulse is a prerequisite Ior the
calculation oI accurate arterial oxygen saturation. Another
advantage oI Masimo SET technology is that it can
monitor arterial oxygen saturation and pulse rate even iI
the motion starts beIore the pulse oximeter is turned on. It
does not require clean data during instrument start-up.
