The customer reported: ¿patient came back from the operating room and was placed on the pulse ox.While hooking up the rest of the monitors the nurse realized the patient's saturation was 55% and that he was respiratory obstructed.The monitor did not alarm nor did it flash or blink.They had to do jaw thrust maneuvers and place a nasal airway in the patient.Saturation eventually came up to 70% then gradually higher, but monitor never alarmed".Customer also stated that it was a good pleth waveform and they believed the numbers, but did not save the sensor as they did not feel that it was a sensor issue, but rather an alarm set-up issue.
