INSTALLATION PROCEDURE (continued)
Novametrix Monitor SpO2 Calibration Check:
1.
Plug the SpO2 sensor extension cable into the machine interface.
2.
Disconnect the finger probe from the extension cable and attach a Novametrix
TB500B sensor simulator to the extension cable.
3.
Turn the System Power switch to ON. press and hold the Selection Dial, and
simultaneously press the MONITOR and SYSTEM CONFIG keys to enter the main
service screen. Touch the MONITORS key to bring up a second column of touch keys.
4.
Touch the SpO2 key on the screen.
5.
Set the simulator’s Sensor Type switch to 87XX. Set the output signal to 3 and the
saturation to 82%. Turn the simulator ON and verify that the monitor’s displayed
Pulse reading is 60 ±1 BPM and the SaO2 reading is 82 ±2.
NOTE:
Do not rely on the simulator’s low battery LED as an indicator of sufficient
battery power. Replace the battery with a fresh 9 volt transistor battery if
proper measured values are not obtained and the battery measures
≤
8.5 VDC.
6.
Adjust the simulator’s saturation setting to 100 and verify that the monitor indicates
99 ±1. Adjust the saturation to 62 and verify that the monitor indicates 62 ±2.
7.
Depress the Open Test RED key and verify that the PULSE LO LED activates, a
continuous audible alarm is heard, and a NO OXI PULSE warning alarm is shown
on the central alarm display.
8.
Depress both Open Test keys together and verify that the monitors SaO2 and OXI
ALARMS DISABLE indicators activate, a single audible tone is heard, and OXI SEN
DISC advisory alarm is shown on the central alarm display. Release the Open Test
keys.
9.
Disconnect the simulator and re-connect the finger probe. Attach the sensor to the
operator’s finger and obtain pulse, and oxygen saturation readings. Disconnect the
sensor from the finger. Afther ten (10) seconds, the Warning message NO OXI PULSE
shall appear on the central alarm display and a continuous audible alarm shall sound.
10.
Re-connect the sensor to the finger.
11.
Note the pulse high and low alarm settings. After pulse and oxygen saturation
readings stabilize, raise the pulse low alarm limit above the actual pulse rate.
12.
The Warning message OXI PULSE LOW shall appear on the central alarm display
and a continuous audible alarm shall sound.
13.
Return the pulse low alarm to its previous settings.
14.
Decrease the pulse high alarm limit below the actual pulse rate.
