Acknowledging Signal Loss
When a telemetry signal is lost because the transmitter is out of range or the
battery is removed, the receiver initiates a squelch condition indicated by a
triangular waveform that replaces the normal ECG waveform and SQUELCH is
included in the edge print for any strip chart recording. The ECG trace
automatically begins again if the lost signal returns.
After eight seconds of signal loss, the IS SIGNAL LOSS PERMANENT? message
appears. Selecting NO suspends alarm tones. Selecting YES displays the
message DISCHARGE THE PATIENT? Selecting YES again, provides you with
the message PURGES DATA-ARE YOU SURE? Selecting YES a third time,
discharges the patient from the system and purges all data for that patient.
Selecting NO at any point in this sequence returns you to the previous option.
Setting Battery Status Alarms
The telemetry battery alarm tone, and a LOW BATTERY message in the ECG
zone involved, alerts you to a low battery condition in the transmitter. You may
disable the low battery alarm tone, if your bedside or central is configured to
do so.
The factory default setting for low battery alarm is ON.
Controlling Patient-Initiated Recordings
If the Patient Record function is activated (PT RECORD is YES) in the ECG TM
SETUP menu, the patient may initiate a recording by pressing the RECORD
button on the front of the transmitter.
Telemetry Alarm Message Summary
INTERMITTENT SIGNAL LOSS
The intermittent signal loss message indicates that the patient may be out of
antenna range, or the battery is depleted. Return the patient into antenna range.
Check that the battery is functioning properly.
LOW BATTERY
A Low Battery Message indicates that the battery is weak. After this message
appears, the battery has approximately three hours of useful life left (depending
on the type of battery used). Install new battery.
SIGNAL INTERFERENCE
The Signal Interference message indicates, via the displayed triangle squelch
waveform, that an interfering signal has been detected.
PERMANENT SIGNAL LOSS
The Permanent Signal loss message indicates that no RF signal is being
detected.
