Alarms
System Fault Alarms
If the device determines that a system fault exists, an error message (e.g.,
Err E01
) appears in
the SpO
2
and pulse rate displays, along with medium priority alarm indicators. A system fault has
also occurred if the displays and indicators are blank but a continuous audible alarm is sounding.
1. Attempt to clear the error by turning the device off and on.
2. If the problem persists, contact Nonin Technical Service.
