value shows
as ???
• Sensor is not connected to
the patient.
• Reattach the sensor.
• There is excessive patient
motion.
• Request patient to remain
still while reading is in
progress.
• Module is in the initialization
phase (the first 15 seconds
after sensor application).
• Wait until the initialization is
complete.
• Adapter cable is improperly
connected to the telemetry
transmitter.
• Correctly connect the
adapter cable.
• Sensor is not connected to
the adapter cable.
• Correctly connect the sensor.
• Telemetry low battery
indicator is constantly
illuminated.
• Contact your biomed or a
qualified field service
engineer.
Low signal strength
-OR-
Insufficient Signal
• Sensor placement is not
optimum.
• Move the sensor to a site
which has better perfusion.
• Align the LED with the sensor
photo detector.
• Sensor is placed below the
blood pressure cuff.
• Move the sensor to an
alternate limb.
Intermittent or
complete failure to
operate
• Receiver or transmitter
error.
• Contact your biomed or a
qualified field service
engineer.
Factors causing
significant variances in
sensor accuracy
• Presence of dysfunctional
hemoglobins (COHb,
MetHb).
• Follow hospital procedure for
determining oxygenation in
these patients.
• Presence of intravascular
dyes (indocyamine green,
methylene blue) in the blood
stream.
• Follow hospital procedure for
determining oxygenation in
these patients.
• High ambient light level. • Reduce light levels near the
patient.
• Electrosurgical interference. • Follow hospital procedure for
determining oxygenation in
these patients.
• Patient is significantly
anemic (Hb less than 5 g/dl)
or has received large
amounts of IV solutions.
• Follow hospital procedure for
determining oxygenation in
these patients.
