Equipment Overview: ApexPro Telemetry System
Reactivating Alarms
To reactivate the alarms before the five minute time period has elapsed,
press both transmitter buttons simultaneously again.
Low Batteries
The Change Battery LED flashes when battery power is running low.
Change the batteries in the ApexPro transmitter when this LED flashes.
Refer to the ApexPro Transmitter Battery Installation section in Chapter
4, Connection, for more information about changing the batteries.
Interface Connector Ports
There are two INTFC (interface) connector ports on the top of the
ApexPro transmitter. These are used for connecting serial interface
devices such as the Apex Oximeter or Xpod Oximeter, the Accutracker
DX noninvasive blood pressure monitor and the DINAMAP PRO 100,
200, 300, or 400 series monitors. The ports are labeled 1 and 2 (on the
dust covers).
The interface connector port labeled 2 is the inside port, closest to the
leadwire set. It is for use with episodic monitoring serial devices,
such as NBP.
The interface connector port labeled 1 is the outside port, furthest
from the leadwire set. It is for use with continuous monitoring serial
devices, such as SpO2.
Dust Covers
The ApexPro transmitter has two dust covers, used when the INTFC
(interface) connectors are not being utilized.
WARNING
DUST COVERS — If the dust covers for the INTFC
(interface) connectors become detached from the ApexPro
transmitter, they may pose a choking hazard for
pediatric patients. Inspect the dust covers before each
use to verify that they are securely attached. If the dust
covers become detached and cannot be reinserted into
their retaining slot, do not use them on the ApexPro
transmitter, and keep them out of pediatric patients’
reach.
