9.2 Clinical Alarms
Clinical alarms occur when a measured value meets or exceeds the high or low limit set for that parameter. The
default mode for clinical alarms is OFF.
See Section 4.3 for instructions on turning on clinical alarms and setting
clinical alarm values.
When a BP clinical alarm occurs, the measurement value will display in red and a long beep will
sound. When a temperature, SpO
2
, or heart rate clinical alarm occurs, the measurement value will display in red and
flash on the screen and a tone will sound every 10 seconds while values are out of range. If it is appropriate for the
patient, the alarms can be turned off. Alarms can be silenced by toggling the volume button to OFF. Always ensure
that appropriate resuscitation equipment and personnel are available during the procedure. Always select alarm
ranges that are appropriate for the patient and procedure. All alarms indicate a potential increased risk of injury if the
test is continued.
To test the clinical alarms, turn the volume of the monitor on and set the alarm at a value likely to be exceeded with
the next reading. Perform the reading. When the value exceeds the limit set, the alarm should display and a beep
should sound.
10. Taking Care of the SunTech Vet30E
10.1 Battery
WARNING
: The internal user-replaceable battery must be plugged into a power source to maintain the battery to a full
charge state. Check the battery charge status periodically, especially before a procedure where the monitor is not
connected to a power source.
The Vet30E has an internal user-replaceable battery that is charging whenever the monitor is plugged into a power
source. The last segment of the battery indicator will turn red when battery charge is low. During continuous
monitoring of SpO
2
and temperature, with Interval BP set for every 5 minutes, a fully charged battery should last at
least 4 hours before requiring recharging. If only taking manual BP measurements, a fully charged battery should last
for at least 150 BP measurements before requiring recharging. Fully charging the battery should take under 6 hours.
