About the MightySat Technology
Pulse oximetry is governed by the following principles:
Oxyhemoglobin (oxygenated blood) and deoxyhemoglobin (non-oxygenated blood) differ in their
absorption of red and infrared light (spectrophotometry).
Display Parameter Description

blood in peripheral tissue. PI thus represents a noninvasive measure of peripheral perfusion
that can be continuously and noninvasively obtained from a pulse oximeter.
The Pleth Variability Index (PVI) is a measure of the dynamic changes in t he Perfusion Index
(PI) that occur during the respiratory cycle. The calculation is accomplished by measuring
PVI is displayed as a percentage (0-100%).
The utility of PVI is unknown at this time and requires further clinical studies. Technical factors
that may affect PVI include malposition and user motion.
Therefore, the amount of light absorbed by the varying quantities of arterial blood changes as
well. Clinicians have attempted to utilize this waveform and its variation for assigning signal
integrity, physiological and artifactual changes such as perfusion changes, dysrhythmia, motion
artifact, and electrical interference. For this reason, accurate and reliable presentation of the
plethysmograph waveform is of importance.
The Signal I.Q.® (SIQ) provides an indicator of the assessment of the confidence in the
displayed SpO2 value. The height of the vertical line of the SpO2 SIQ provides an assessment of
the confidence in the measurement displayed. A high vertical line indicates higher confidence
in the measurement. A small vertical line indicates lower confidence in the displayed
measurement.
