PalmSAT 2500A Handheld Oximetry with Full Alarm Functions
Some handheld work needs more than a number on a screen, and this alarmed version is built for monitored spot checks and observation areas. High and medium priority alarms watch saturation and pulse rate, with adjustable limits, an alarm silence control and a recall function that restores the previous settings. The display set includes an alarm bar, a sensor fault display and a pulse quality indicator, so staff can see both the value and the state of the measurement. Under the alarms sits the same PureSAT engine as the standard model, with low perfusion filtering that performs on neonates and infants. Smart Averaging settles readings quickly, and true pulse detection resists the motion artifact that active toddlers produce. Sixteen PureLight sensor configurations let each service match the handheld to its patient mix.
