SPO2 reading without sensor attached to patient.

The nurse reported SPO2 was reading a waveform and a reading with out the sensor attached to the patient. Could not duplicate the problem.

Not terribly unusual.  Have seen this before if the sensor is just hanging there exposed to the overhead lights.  Also have seen this with the sensor under the covers, but has fallen off the patient.  This was caused then by a bad sensor cable.
