SENSOR DISCONNECTED — Check connection at adapter cable
This message and alarm indicate that the sensor is either disconnected or the wiring is faulty.
• Check for proper sensor connection to the adapter cable.
• If the message persists, replace the sensor and/or the adapter cable.
SENSOR OFF PATIENT — Check connection at patient
• The telemetry transmitter does not detect a valid sensor input signal. Check the patient for proper
sensor placement.
• The tissue between the LED and photodiode is too transmissive. If the sensor placement seems
correct and the message persists, try a sensor site with a thicker tissue bed.
Note:
This message is not available with all SpO
2
sensors.
INSUFFICIENT SIGNAL — Reposition or replace sensor
• Insufficient signal for proper operation, indicated by a low deflection on the Sensorwatch signal
strength bar.
• Poor sensor application or site. Correctly reapply or reposition to a better perfused site, or
massage the site.
• If the message persists, then replace the sensor.
LOW SIGNAL STRENGTH — Reposition or replace sensor
When this message appears, the saturation and pulse rate continue to show. However, the
Sensorwatch bar flashes as an indication of a possible error condition.
• Insufficient blood flow between the sensor light emitter and detector. Move the sensor to an area of
higher perfusion.
• Poor sensor application. Reposition to place active components closer to the skin or locate to a
better perfused site.
• The sensor site is below the blood pressure cuff. Move to another site.
• If the message persists, then replace the sensor.
