NOTE: There are three volume levels of audible pulse tones, and
“off”. The tone varies in pitch with oxygen saturation - falling in pitch
with reduced saturation and rising in pitch as saturation increases.
See section
“Setting the Volume Level of the Audible Indicator” in
Chapter 3.
10) Set the pulse oximetry and heart rate alarm levels according to
section “Reading and Setting Alarm Levels” in Chapter 3.
11) Silence and reactivate alarms according to section “Silencing and
Reactivating Alarms” in Chapter 3.
3.2 Measuring Body Temperature
To measure and display body temperature, follow these steps:
1) Choose an appropriate sensor.
2) Place the sensor on the animal according to the instructions included
with each sensor.
3) Connect the sensor to the
SENSOR CABLE CONNECTION
of the Model 340V.
NOTE: The sensor might move
slightly within the connector.
4) Follow all guidelines to prevent
faulty readings and sensor or
oximeter complications.
5) Power on the unit with one short
depression of the POWER
ON/OFF KEY. The Model 5340V tests the displays and indicators with
the initiated POWER-UP TEST.
6) Check that all LED segments light up during the POWER-UP TEST.
(See section “Power-Up Test” in Chapter 3).
7) Initiate the temperature measurement with one long depression of the
PULSE RATE ALARM KEY. The Model 340V displays the
temperature on TEMPERATURE DISPLAY. The Model 340V
automatically measures and displays body temperature every two
minutes. Measurements can be initiated manually at any time with
one long
depression of the PULSE RATE ALARM KEY. A short
double-beep alerts the user to the display of the temperature.
8) Change the temperature display from Celsius to Fahrenheit or vice
versa with one long depression of the OXYGEN SATURATION
ALARM KEY.
WARNING
During insertion of the Rectal
sensor, rectal perforation can
occur if excessive force is
used. If resistance is
encountered, withdraw the
sensor, slightly change the
direction of
the sensor, and reinsert.
