Using the 9847V Pulse Oximeter
The 3rd and 6th bars of the CO
2
bar graph are lit if a medium priority (equipment)
alarm is started. (See page 29 for additional alarm information.)
CO
2
values are displayed as a range between two threshold values. The
threshold values are located between each CO
2
bar. The values (displayed in
both mmHg and kPa) are an approximate measurement of the change in CO
2
level in the airway adapter tube. For example, if four bars are lit, the detected
CO
2
level change lies within the range >10 mmHg and <20 mmHg (the threshold
values).
NOTE:
Because the CO
2
detector is a semi-quantitative device, the rising and falling CO
2
bar
graph should NOT be interpreted as a CO
2
waveform.
Low Battery Indicator
The Low Battery indicator
is steadily lit when the battery level is marginal. The batteries should
be replaced as soon as possible.
When the battery level is low:
1. The Low Battery indicator blinks.
2. A medium priority (equipment) audible alarm starts (unless a high priority (animal) audible
alarm is in progress).
3. If the respective alarms are not “latched” (will not continue):
a. SpO
2
, pulse rate, and CO
2
bar graph indicators are blank
b. Pulse Quality indicator blinks yellow or red, but not green.
4. If an existing visible high priority (animal) alarm is “latched” (continues):
a. A latched no breath alarm causes the No Breath indicator to blink.
b. A latched high or low SpO
2
or pulse rate alarm displays 3 dashes blinking in the
corresponding numeric display.
c. A latched pulse quality alarm blinks red.
When the batteries are critically low:
1. Low Battery indicator blinks.
2. Setup mode is disabled.
3. Displays are blank (no animal data).
4. Batteries must be replaced.
The device will not monitor an animal once the batteries reach a critically low level. The batteries must
be replaced before using the 9847V.
NOTE:
Removing batteries may delete memory and all user defined settings, including calendar
and clock.
