Operating Modes and Defaults
User-Defined Defaults
In User-Defined Defaults, alarm limit and volume settings must be adjusted. To set the User-
Defined Defaults, set the alarm limits, hold the Alarm Silence button and then press the Limits
button. This sets the User-Defined Defaults to be the same as the current alarm limits.
The Model 7500FO recalls User-Defined Default settings at startup whenever this option is
selected. Once activated, User-Defined Defaults have priority over Factory Defaults.
NOTE:
All user-defined default settings are retained even when both external and battery power
are lost.
Patient Security Mode
Alarm limits cannot be changed when the Model 7500FO is in Patient Security mode. Patient
Security mode prevents accidental changes to critical parameters. The Model 7500FO allows
users to lock and unlock alarm limits, volume settings, and time settings through the use of Patient
Security mode. Operators will notice several operating differences with Patient Security mode:
• Default and other previous device settings cannot be recalled.
• Clock and calendar data cannot be changed.
• SpO
2
and pulse rate alarm limits and volumes cannot be changed. Pressing the Limits button
allows the operator to review the limits.
• Patient memory cannot be cleared.
• To put the device into Standby mode, the ON/STANDBY button must be held for at least
3 seconds.
• Memory playback not available.
Patient Security mode remains active when the device is turned off and then turned back on.
Patient Security mode is retained even when both external and battery power are lost.
NOTE:
Turn on the device and verify Patient Security mode and settings after initiating Patient
Security mode.
When the Patient Security mode is enabled, operators cannot change SpO
2,
or Pulse Rate limits
or Alarm Volume—though it is still possible to view those settings. In Patient Security mode,
operators cannot view or set the time and date.
When the Model 7500FO is turned on in Patient Security mode,
“
SEC on
” is displayed in the
display area, and three informational tones sound. The upper alarm limits are then displayed,
followed by the lower alarm limits.
NOTE:
Patient memory cannot be cleared when this device is in Patient Security mode. In
addition, Patient Security mode is not disabled when the unit is turned off.
