3.3.1.2 Power-On Defaults for Adult-Pediatric Alarm Limits and Ranges
Note:
The following procedure is written using Nellcor Puritan Bennett
factory-set power-on default settings. If your institution has other
custom power-on default settings, those values will be displayed and
should be substituted in the following procedure. The N-3100 can be
reset to factory power-on defaults using the service mode procedure
described in Paragraph 4.3.11, Menu Item 20, or configuration mode,
as described in Paragraph 4.2.13, Configuration Menu (item 3).
In the following procedures, each time the UPPER ALARM LIMIT
button or the LOWER ALARM LIMIT button is pressed, the N-3100
will emit a beep.
When observing or changing default limits, a 3-second timeout is in
effect, that is, if no action is taken within 3 seconds, the monitor
automatically returns to the normal operating mode steady state.
The following procedures use the N-3100 UP and DOWN ARROW
buttons located on the top of the monitor. When the N-3100 is
stacked with the N -3000, the N-3200, or both, the Nellcor knob on
either of these units can be used to perform the function of the
N-3100 UP and DOWN ARROW buttons. Turning the Nellcor knob in
a clockwise direction is equivalent to pressing the N -3100 UP
ARROW button. Turning the knob in a counterclockwise direction is
equivalent to pressing the N-3100 DOWN ARROW button. There will
be no sounds or beeps associated with turning a Nellcor knob. When
the N -3100 is stacked with the N-3000, the UP and DOWN ARROW
buttons are not accessible and the Nellcor knob must be used.
1.
Press the ON/STANDBY button to turn the unit on. Verify that the
N-3100 is in adult-pediatric mode, which is indicated by the NEONATAL
MODE indicator being off. If the indicator is lit, quickly press and
release the NEW PATIENT/NEONATAL button twice to place the
N-3100 in the adult-pediatric mode. When the unit is in the normal mode
steady state, press and release the UPPER ALARM LIMIT button.
Verify that the monitor emits a single beep when you press the button.
Verify that the SYSTOLIC display indicates the default alarm limit
value of “240” for a few seconds and verify that the other displays show
dashes while the “240” is displayed as shown below. Do not press any
buttons for at least 3 seconds and all displays will change to show a dash
in the center of each character (normal mode steady state).
