The key benefits of the sensors are:
-electrocautery noise (ESV) rejection
-the monitoring of restless patients
-tracking of weak peripheral pulse levels
rejection of ambient light
-long term patient comfort
-can be resterilized (ETO sterilization - 3 times)
-patient isolation
-ease of application and removal

Electrocautery Noise (ESU) Rejection
The sensor configuration of both the DIGISENSOR and the FLEXISENSOR SD provide
uninterrupted monitoring and absence of false alarms during the use of ESU (ESU
can be set at any power level). This design prevents electro-surgical noise entering
the monitor, via the sensor, and interfering with unit operation.

Monitoring Restless Patients
Motion artifact rejection is achieved in several ways.
1. The sensor design used with their recommended bandages assures a snug fit of
the sensor to the patient.
2. Light emitting diodes (LEDs) and detectors gather a strong signal from the patient.
3. Software in the ACCUTORR evaluates the shape of each pulse and automatically
rejects noisy and unreliable pulses.
4. When in the presence of motion, the software adjusts the "averaging-periad", in-
creasing it to a maximum of 15 seconds during motion, and automatically reducing it
during quiet periods to obtain a fast response.
This combination reduces the number
of monitoring interruptions and false alarms from patient motion.
e Tracking of Weak Peripheral Pulse Levels
Many patients suffer poor peripheral perfusion due to hyothermia, hypovolemia,
reduced cardiac output, etc. The ACCUTORR is designed to automatically increase
its gain to track patients with poor peripheral perfusion.
e
Rejection of Ambient:Light
Many monitoring situations involve high levels of ambient light, ie., operating room
lights, neonatal phototherapy, heat warmers, etc. The ACCUTORR Monitor, sensors,
and bandages each contribute to the rejection of ambient light. The monitor automat-
ically measures and corrects for high levels of ambient light. The enclosed design of
the DIGISENSOR prohibits the interference of high levels of ambient fight on adults
with sensor operation.
And the opague material used in the composition of the
bandages, which are used with the FLEXISENSOR SD, helps keep out ambient light.
