9.4.2 SpO Alarm Delay

The SpO Alarm Delay setting defers the audible Low SpO
2
actionable alarms for short desaturations. The audible alarm will start, if the alarm condition remains, after the delay.
9.4.3 Alarm response time
Audible and visual alarms are subject to an alarm response delay. The alarm response delay has three parts, the:
1. Alarm condition delay: the duration for a physiological change to be recognized by pulse oximetry,
2. Alarm signal generation delay: the period between detecting a condition and signaling the alarm, and
3. Alarm reporting delay: the period between receiving an alarm signal from a monitoring device and reporting the alarm to the user.
Measurement averaging will affect the signal generation delay: a larger Averaging Time will increase the signal generation delay. These
delay concepts are illustrated on the graph below for a decrease in SaO
not reflect the actual length of delays. Refer to ISO 80601-2-61 for more information about alarm response delays.
