OAM Quiz

How often can the OAM adjust the Precision Flow's oxygen concentration?

• Every minute

• Every 30 seconds

• Every 10 seconds

• Every hour

What was the primary outcome of the study evaluating the OAM's algorithm? (Reynolds Study)

• Apnoea frequency

• Percentage of time spent within target SpO2 range

• Minimum SpO2 in each one hour period

• Length of hospital stay

How many adjustments per hour did the automated controller make during the Reynolds study?

• 14

• 50

• 96

• 115

What action should be taken if a large difference is observed between the SpO2 readings from the OAM and the monitor?

• Re-position the SpO2 probes

• Adjust the SpO2 target on the OAM

• Put both probes on the same limb

What is the purpose of the Backup O2 setting?

• To maintain oxygen delivery during signal loss

• To increase oxygen concentration automatically

• To decrease the risk of hypoxia

How does the OAM respond if the SpO2 signal is lost?

• It shuts down automatically

• It continues to deliver the last calculated O2 for up to 2 minutes

• It increases the oxygen concentration rapidly

• It switches to manual mode

What is the recommendation for setting the O2 Alarm Limit in neonates?

• Set it equal to the mean O2

• Set it 10% below the mean O2

• Set it 10% above the mean O2

• Set it 20% above the mean O2

What action should be taken to discontinue therapy with the OAM?

• Disconnect the SpO2 probe

• Place the OAM into Manual Mode

• Switch off the multi-parameter monitor

• Leave the patient connected to the device indefinitely

What happens if the SpO2 signal remains lost for more than 2 minutes?

• The system shuts down automatically

• An audible alarm is triggered, and the OAM delivers fallback oxygen

• The OAM switches to manual mode

• The oxygen concentration remains unchanged

How can you override the oxygen % delivered by the OAM?

• By disconnecting the SpO2 probe

• By switching the PF into standy

• By using the Precision Flow's control knob

• By adjusting the target SpO2
