Chapter 9: Troubleshooting

WARnInG! If the accuracy of any measurement is in question, check the patient’s vital signs

by an alternative method and then check the monitor for proper functioning.

Correcting an Alert Condition

An alert warns of an abnormal monitor condition. During an alert, the Alarm Indicator lights

yellow and the alert tone sounds, if not silenced. The alert sound is a single tone pair of beeps

with a 20 second pause. See

Chapter 6: Alarms

for details. If the monitor is equipped with the

optional thermal printer, additional information about the cause of the alert can be viewed in the

real time mode.

To correct an alert:

Ensure the sensor, oximetry cable and oximeter connectors are all firmly seated.

Ensure the sensor is properly attached to the patient. See

Attaching the Sensor to the Patient

section in

Chapter 5:

Operating Instructions

for help.

Ensure the tape used to hold the sensor is not wrapped too tightly. Wrapping the tape too

tightly may prevent the monitor from measuring SpO

and pulse rate.

Check the pulse signal strength and PI indicators. If the readings are low, try repositioning the

sensor and/or changing the sensor site to a location with better perfusion.

If the alert is still on, contact the equipment provider or authorized service representative for

help.
