SpO2 Monitoring: Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting
SpO2 Messages
Below is a list of system status alarm messages that may be displayed in
the patient’s bed window during monitoring. SpO2 messages appear in
abbreviated form in graph headers. If you are unable to resume SpO2
monitoring, contact your sales/service representative.
NOTE
The Xpod Oximeter can display the same SpO2 system status
messages as the Apex Oximeter, except for the CHANGE BATTERY
message. The Xpod Oximeter uses the battery power supplied by the
ApexPro transmitter and therefore does not support this message.
CHANGE BATTERY
Message displayed with SPO2 data displayed—The batteries in the Apex
Oximeter are low. There is approximately 1 hour of reserve power left in
the batteries. Change the batteries. Refer to Chapter 4, Connection, for
information about changing batteries.
Message displayed, no SPO2 data displayed—The batteries in the Apex
Oximeter are depleted. Replace the batteries. Refer to Chapter 4,
Connection, for information about changing batteries. This is a system
advisory alarm. The alarm will sound, and a red alarm button will
appear on the CIC Pro display. If the batteries are not replaced within 20
minutes, all SPO2 parameter information will be removed from the
display. If the batteries are replaced within 20 minutes, SpO2
monitoring will resume.
SPO2 PROBE
The probe has been disconnected from the oximeter (no data is
displayed).
SIGNAL
SpO2 data continues to be displayed, but the quality of the signal is
questionable. Check the patient and the probe.
