What it computes
Compute the SpO2/FiO2 (S/F) ratio as pulse-oximetry SpO2 percent divided by inspired oxygen fraction.
When to use
When an agent needs SpO2 percent divided by FiO2 and must not invent a P/F ratio, ROX, or ARDS/Berlin bands.
When not to use
- Not a diagnosis.
- This is not the PaO2/FiO2 (P/F) ratio.
- Magent does not apply ARDS or Berlin severity bands.
- This is not the ROX index.
- FiO2 is required as a fraction (0.21–1.0), not a percent, and is not defaulted to room air.
Formula
sf_ratio = spo2_percent / fio2

Worked example
SpO2 95, FiO2 0.21
Given:
fio2=0.21spo2_percent=95
- sf_ratio = 95 / 0.21 = 452.381… → 452.4
SpO2 95, FiO2 1.0
Given:
fio2=1.0spo2_percent=95
- sf_ratio = 95 / 1.0 = 95.0

Try
Opens the live endpoint. Unpaid browser requests show the paywall; agents should send Accept: application/json.

Call
Expect HTTP 402 until you retry with PAYMENT-SIGNATURE. Incomplete query params
return HTTP 400 before any quote or charge.
curl -i -H "Accept: application/json" "https://api.magentlab.com/api/calc/sf_ratio?spo2_percent=95&fio2=0.21"
Parameters
| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
spo2_percent |
number | required | Pulse-oximetry SpO2 as a percent (50-100). |
fio2 |
number | required | Inspired oxygen as a fraction (0.21-1.0), not a percent. Required. |
Bulk (POST)
POST the same path with a JSON items array. The first item is the GET unit; each additional item is $0.002. Invalid items return HTTP 400 before settlement.
- 1 to 25 items. Each item uses the same keys as the GET query parameters.
- POST of 1 item costs the same as GET. Lists longer than 25: chunk into multiple POSTs. Extra items still execute; do not pad dummy rows.
- The first invalid item fails the whole request (index in the 400 JSON). You are not charged.
- HTTP 200 is {count, path, items}. Each items[i] is the GET 200 body for that row.
- Catalog misses (empty matches, found=false) stay paid 200s inside that slot.
- x402 resource URL is this path plus n and body_sha256. Browsers that prefer text/html get the same paywall as GET; Pay retries POST with the same items.
Example request (fixture)
{
"items": [
{
"fio2": "0.21",
"spo2_percent": "95"
},
{
"fio2": "0.21",
"spo2_percent": "95"
}
]
}
Opens a two-item fixture on the API host. Unpaid browsers get the same MetaMask paywall as GET; Pay retries POST with those items.

Payment
Required query parameters must be present and valid. Invalid params return HTTP 400 JSON before settlement. magent does not charge. Fix the params, then request a new 402 quote for that complete URL. Catalog misses (empty matches, found=false) are valid paid 200s. Unpaid valid requests return HTTP 402 with a base64

Guarantees
- Invalid query parameters return HTTP 400 before settlement. You are not charged.
- Settlement finishes before the tool executes (paymentFlow upfront). Uncertain or failed settlement fails closed (HTTP 503). Retry the same PAYMENT-SIGNATURE.
- HTTP 402 is unpaid only. Do not sign a second authorization because of a 503.
- Execution is timeout-bounded and concurrency-capped.
- Calculator inputs are stored encrypted for allowlisted operators (Magent Console). They are not in public logs, SSH lookups, catalog, or rollups. Request logs store path without query.
