The patient’s pulse rate is
outside the current upper or

PLS* Out of Range
(High)
The pulse rate is outside the
measuring range of the monitor

% is greater than
the upper limit.
SpO

* Transparent Too much light is reaching the
sensor’s light detector. This
condition usually occurs
because the sensor is off the
finger or because too much
ambient light is detected.
• Make sure the sensor is properly
attached to the patient’s finger.
• Remove the light source.
• Cover the sensor with opaque material.
• Make sure no ambient light can reach
the detector.
• Contact DrägerService.
