ELEMETRY TRANSMITTER (96281)
B
ASIC OPERATIONS
Notes:
• If one of the leads fails, a lead fault message shows on the
host monitor.
• If there is no valid lead vector, the message CHAN 1 & 2 -
LEADS OFF shows and an alarm tone sounds only at the host
monitor.
Basic User Actions
The up and down arrow buttons (refer to 7 in Figure 4-1 on page 4-
5) provide navigational control, such as moving through ECG and
SpO
2
displays. These up/down buttons are only included on the
96281-B and 96281-C models.
All 96281 devices include the Action button (refer to item 4 in Figure
4-1 on page 4-5). If a patient or user presses this button, and keeps
the button pressed for approximately one and a half seconds, the
transmitter sends an “event” to the host monitor. The transmitter
provides visual indication of such “events” by flashing all its LEAD
OFF indicators on-off, on-off, twice in quick succession. The
corresponding action at the host monitor, depends on the
configuration settings of the host monitor, so please refer to the
Monitor Operations Manual, but typically events are used to
generate strip recordings.
Warnings:
• Do not use any transmitter that has been compromised by
liquid ingress. If fluid has collected in the battery
compartment, clean and dry it before use. If the transmitter
has been immersed in liquid, it must be thoroughly dried
before use. Not doing so may prevent the transmitter from
working properly. If the SpO
2
sensor has been immersed in
liquid, it should be dried and inspected for proper operation
and replaced if necessary.
• Readings for SpO
2
should not be taken from the same arm
that has an NIBP cuff attached.
Notes:
• Should all of the lead fault indicators illuminate and stay
illuminated during operation, then the AriaTele transmitter has
detected an internal fault condition. If this occurs, the device
will stop transmitting and will not show any ECG or SpO
2
information. To clear this condition, install new batteries.
• If a patient must use the device during a shower,
Spacelabs Healthcare recommends to place the
transmitter within a sealed waterproof pouch.
• Clean the transmitter after every procedure (refer to
Cleaning, Disinfecting, and Sterilization on page 5-1 for
more information).
