4 Patient Alarms and INOPs Technical Alarm Messages (INOPs)
72
<SpO2 label> DEACTIVATED
INOP tone
SpO2You have connected a measurement server that uses a label the
monitor has already assigned to a different source. To activate
the new source, choose a new label in the Measurement
Selection window.
<SpO2 label> EQUIP MALF
Numeric is replaced by -?-
INOP tone.
SpO2The MMS is faulty. Unplug and replug the MMS. If the INOP
persists, contact your service personnel.
<SpO2 label> ERRATIC
Numeric is replaced by -?-
INOP tone.
SpO2Check the sensor placement. Try another adapter cable and
sensor. If the INOP persists, contact your service personnel.
<SpO2 label> EXTD. UPDATE
Label is displayed with a -?-
(questionable numeric)
SpO2The update period of displayed values is extended due to an
NBP measurement on the same limb or an excessively noisy
signal.
<SpO2 label> INTERFERNCE
Numeric is replaced by -?-
INOP tone.
SpO2There is too much interference, caused by a high level of
ambient light and/or electrical interference. Cover the sensor to
minimize ambient light. If the INOP persists, make sure that
the sensor cable is not damaged or positioned too close to
power cables.
<SpO2 label> LOW PERF
Label is displayed with a -?-
(questionable numeric)
SpO2Accuracy may be compromised due to very low perfusion.
Stimulate circulation at sensor site. If INOP persists, change
the measurement site.
<SpO2 label> NOISY SIGN.
Numeric is replaced by -?-
INOP tone.
SpO2Excessive patient movement or electrical interference is causing
irregular pulse patterns. Try to reduce patient movement or to
relieve the cable strain on the sensor.
<SpO2 label> NON-PULSAT.
Numeric is replaced by -?-
INOP tone.
SpO2Check the perfusion at measurement site. If necessary,
stimulate circulation or change measurement site. If the INOP
is due to NBP measurement on the same limb, wait until the
NBP measurement is finished.
<SpO2 label> NO SENSOR
Numeric is replaced by -?-
INOP tone.
SpO2Make sure the SpO2 sensor is connected. If the INOP persists,
try another adapter cable and sensor. If you silence this INOP,
the measurement will be switched off.
<SpO2 LABEL> POOR SIGNAL
Label is displayed with a - ? -
(questionable numeric)
SpO2The signal condition of the SpO2 measurement is poor and
measurement accuracy may be compromised.
<SpO2 LABEL> PULSE?
Numeric is replaced by -?-
INOP tone
SpO2The detectable pulsations of the SpO2 signal are outside the
specified pulse rate range.
<SpO2 LABEL> SEARCHING
Numeric unavailable
SpO2SpO2 is analyzing the patient signal to derive Pulse, SpO2 and
Perf values. Please wait until the search analysis is complete.
<SpO2 label> SENSOR MALF
Numeric is replaced by -?-
INOP tone.
SpO2The SpO2 sensor or adapter cable is faulty. Try another adapter
cable and sensor. If the INOP persists, contact your service
personnel.
<SpO2 LABEL> SENSOR OFF
Numeric is replaced by -?-
INOP tone
SpO2The SpO2 sensor is not properly applied to the patient. Apply
the sensor following the instructions supplied by the
manufacturer.
<SpO2 LABEL> UNKN.SENSOR
Numeric is replaced by a - ? -
SpO2The connected sensor or adapter cable is not supported by the
SpO2 measurement. Use only specified sensors and cables.
