Operating the Model 340V
- 15 -
NOTE: The temperature range is set to measure between 24.5° and
42.5° Celsius, or 76.1° and 108.5° Fahrenheit. When the temperature
is below 24.5°C or 76.1°F the display is blank. An error message is
displayed when the temperature being detected is higher than 42.5°C
or 108.5° F. (See section
“Troubleshooting” in Chapter 4).
3.3 Faulty Reading & Sensor Complication Prevention
To prevent faulty reading and sensor complications:
•
Turn off very bright lights, such as xenon lamps, if they interfere with
pulse oximetry monitoring. In cases where such lights are unavoid-
able, cover the sensor site with an opaque material.
•
Consider conditions affecting the hemoglobin dissociation curve
when interpreting pulse oximeter readings.
•
Keep animal movement to a minimum.
•
Route sensor cords carefully.
•
Avoid applying excessive tension to the sensor or sensor cable.
3.4 Setting the Volume Level of the Audible Indicator
The Model 340V issues an audible tone that sounds for each pulse.
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. The Model 340V
sounds a double beep to indicate each time the animal’s body
temperature is measured.
Set the volume level of audible indicators with one of the following
actions:
•
Increase the volume level with one short depression of the
INCREMENT KEY.
•
Decrease the volume level with one short depression of the
DECREMENT KEY.
WARNING
In order to obtain accurate pulse oximetry and temperature readings,
choose an appropriate pulse oximeter and sensor according to the
intended use.
