Power Failure
Modules are designed with default settings for alarms and various other
parameter settings (for example, NIBP reading frequency) which you may adjust
to meet the needs of your patients. When events occur that might cause the
selected limits or values to return to the monitor default settings, the monitor may
display a CHECK SETUP key in the ECG zone combined with a low priority alarm
tone (refer to Setting Alarm Limits on page 2-4 for details on alarm priorities). To
cancel the message and the alarm, simply touch the CHECK SETUP key on the
screen.
The following describes the events that will cause the CHECK SETUP key to
appear.
WARNING:
• In the case of a power failure, the remote module housing
(90491 or 90499) provides +5 V of power to maintain data
integrity.
• If the power is interrupted to the remote module housing
but not to the monitor, the module will remain active and
the following will occur:
• Waveforms will go flat (as if the patient has no vital
signs) or will be totally lost.
• Parameter values will go to the minimum limit or ???
(except for non-invasive pressure, which will display
the last value before the power failure).
• Alarms may sound for low limit violations or for
conditions such as Asystole, Leads Off, Loss of Signal,
or Adapter Disconnected.
• If any of the above conditions occur, check to determine
whether or not power has been interrupted to the remote
module housing and reestablish AC power.
• Do not allow the Ultraview 1600, Ultraview 1700, or the
90499 module housing to be left turned ON without power
applied for long periods of time or the memory backup
batteries will be depleted.
Event Reason
Monitor power ON
Any time you power ON a monitor, all parameters are
reset to their default values or to the values set the
last time the monitor was in use. It is very important
to review the parameter limits and/or their values and
adjust them appropriately for the current patient.
When you insert an
ECG module
Because the module values will come up with default
settings, it is important to review and reset the limits
and/or values for that particular patient.
An error is detected
and the monitor resets
The monitor has detected an error that cannot be
corrected through other means.
