Monitoring basics
●
Alarm signals are working and can be seen and heard in your care environment.
●
Required parameter calibrations are completed.
Supply mains interruption
If the supply mains to the equipment is interrupted for less than 15 minutes (and the
B650 is used without the optional battery), the monitor keeps the trend data and
the latest user-made settings. If not, contact authorized service personnel. After 15
minutes, all patient information and trend data is lost and the monitor returns to the
user default settings (start-up mode). For more information, see the technical manual.
WARNING
The B450 must always be used with a battery inserted. This
will ensure the functioning of the monitor and prevent data
loss during possible supply mains interruptions.
Power failure alarm
B650 only.
If there is a power failure (e.g., the supply mains is interrupted and the monitor battery
fails), the monitor gives a continuous beeping alarm. This alarm remains active for as
long as there is some residual power left, or until it is silenced with the pause audio
alarm key, or until the power is reconnected.
