Oximetry Software (PO)
Oximetry Software Features
PROFOX Oximetry Software (PO) works with a variety of pulse oximeters and will collect and report up to 72 hours of oximetry memory data.
PROFOX gives you flexible reporting for oxygen prescription studies, ICU monitoring, exercise testing, spot checks and continued justification of supplemental oxygen or respiratory support.
PROFOX's easy-to-read, easy-to-interpret reports can:
• Help your patients see the results and effects of compliance with therapy
• Allow easy evaluation of the effectiveness of various therapies
• Validate and document therapeutic effects for insurance purposes
• Make it easy to comply with the requirements of third-party providers
• The software has automatic desaturation event scoring and data analysis. You can change many of the scoring and report features, such as the level defining desaturation events.
• The software provides a variety of graphic and tabular reports with statistical summaries. These reports:
• Are chart-ready 8-1/2 x 11 inch, with wide left margins to accommodate chart-folds.
• Have large print so they can be easily read after being copied or sent via fax.
• Can be printed in color, sent by FAX directly from the computer, and the reports can be previewed on the computer screen.
• Satisfy the latest Medicare guidelines for both supplemental oxygen and BiPAP (the longest continuous time spent with saturation less than 89%).
• Report headings (titles) can be easily changed and saved. Up to 30 different headings can be saved so you can report tests for other facilities.
• You can generate reports for multiple patient studies from a single download.
• The software automatically tracks the editing and report status of each study.
• You may view and edit studies to remove undesired periods, and edited studies may be stored separately. Editing is the most precise available, using full-screen capabilities with multiple time scaling from five minutes up to the entire study.
• Studies containing periods with and without respiratory support may be separated and reported individually.
• The programs allow viewing the patient studies by name alphabetically, as well as by date and time of the study.
• The reports can be printed in English, French, German, Spanish or Swedish, and the date format can be changed to MM/DD/YY, DD-MM-YY or YY-MM-DD.
• The reports can also saved as an Adobe Acrobat (PDF) file that can be emailed to others for easy viewing or printing. The Summary Report can also be saved in ASCII or rich text (RTF) formats for export to electronic charting.
• Studies may be converted into ASCII (text) format, for importing to spreadsheets or databases.
• The programs include algorithms that can be used to detect aberrant data points.

System Requirements
Operating Systems:
Both the Oximetry Software (PO) and the Respiratory Oximetry Software (PRO) are compatible with:
Windows 2000, Windows Me, Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7
Hardware Requirements:
Both the Oximetry Software (PO) and the Respiratory Oximetry Software (PRO) require:
• IBM-compatible with 64Mb of memory
• 25 Mb of available disk space (hard drive)
• CD-ROM drive (24x speed or higher)
• Video card with 640x480 minimum resolution. Minimun 600X800 recommended
• Available serial communications port or USB port with serial adaptor
1. Connect the serial cable from the pulse oximeter to the computer.
2. Download the oximetry data by simply following the instructions on the computer screen.
3. Enter the patient information.
That's it. It's that simple.
Easy-to-read, easy-to-interpret PROFOX reports include all of the information you expect from the best oximetry software. All reports have wide left margins to accommodate chart-folds and use large character sizes so the reports can be easily read after being copied or sent via fax.
These reports are ideal for patient charts, Medicare, and other third-party records.
PROFOX lets you print the reports in color, can be sent by fax directly from the computer, and can be previewed on the computer screen. You can even condense the summary report to leave room at the bottom for typed dictation or physician's notes.
The reports satisfy the latest Medicare guidelines for both supplemental oxygen and BiPAP (the longest continuous time spent with saturation less than 89%)
The report headings (titles) can be easily changed and saved. Up to 30 different headings can be saved so you can report tests for other facilities.
Comprehensive Report:
Summary, Saturation & Pulse Graphs
The comprehensive report graphs the entire test and also includes the most pertinent statistics. This provides an "easy to interpet" single page report.
Report 1:
8-Hour Saturation & Pulse Graphs
This report gives you a broad overview of saturation and pulse measurements in 8-hour blocks. Each block is conveniently presented on a separate page, allowing you to quickly perceive the oximetry pattern.
Report 2:
2-Hour Saturation & Pulse Graphs
This report is similar to the 8-hour version but provides a detailed look at 2-hour blocks of data. You can print the entire study in 2-hour segments, or you can print only the 2-hour period showing the lowest average saturation.
Report 3:
Graphic % Time at Each Saturation
This report is an excellent visual aid for patients because they can easily see the results. In this report, every integer from 40 to 100 is represented on both the top and bottom graphs on the page. Saturations lower than 40 are represented as 40. The time shown on the graphs is the total valid sampling time, which is defined as the recorded time minus deleted periods and periods of excluded sampling.
Report 4:
Text % Time at Each Saturation
This report is especially useful when you need to report the exact amount of time a patient spent at specific oxygen levels and pulse ranges.
Report 5:
Text Listing of Deepest Desaturations
This report presents information on the deepest saturation events, listing up to 40 events on one page. It identifies each saturation's onset, lowest point and pulse range. This report is very helpful when assessing the severity of apneic events and allows you to adjust the value that defines desaturation event onset. It is especially useful for specific guidelines such as Medicare BiPAP.
Report 6:
Text Scoring & Analysis Summary
This report is a one-page summary of the patient's vital oximeter data. PROFOX identifies the onset of a desaturation event when the saturation decreases by a predefined Event Definition Point (EDP) within a two-minute interval.
