Messages and Troubleshooting
The following table lists the error messages associated with the SpO
2
option, and the corresponding corrective
action(s). Read this section carefully before using the oximeter for patient monitoring.
Message Possible Cause(s) Recommended Action(s)
CHECK SPO2 SENSOR The SpO
2
readings may be invalid
due to excessive motion,
inappropriate sensor site, poor
placement, low perfusion, no
patient cable or sensor attached, an
unrecognized patient cable or
sensor is attached, or an
incompatible patient cable is
attached.
Reposition or relocate the sensor and/or
increase perfusion.
Verify that the patient cable and/or
sensor are properly attached.
Select a patient cable and/or sensor
that is compatible with the device.
CHECK SPO2 SITE Low perfusion or low signal
strength.
Reposition or relocate the sensor.
DEFECTIVE SPO2 CABLE Patient cable cannot be identified or
is defective.
Replace patient cable.
DEFECTIVE SPO2 SENSOR Sensor cannot be identified or is
defective.
Replace sensor.
SPO2 FAULT XX The SpO
2
subsystem of the unit has
failed.
The unit is configured for SpCO
and/or SpMet, but the option is not
installed.
Call ZOLL Technical Service
Department.
SPO2 PULSE SEARCH The oximeter is searching for the
patient's pulse.
If values are not displayed within 30
seconds, disconnect and reposition
sensor and/or increase perfusion.
SPO2 SENSOR CALIBRATING The oximeter is checking the sensor
for proper functionality and
performance.
If values are not displayed within 30
seconds, disconnect and reposition
sensor. If values are still not displayed,
replace with a new sensor.
WRONG SPO2 SENSOR The user is trying to display SpCO
and/or SpMet with a sensor other
than the Rainbow sensor attached.
Connect a Rainbow sensor to the unit.
Dashes (-----) appear in place of
SPO2 numeric and do not
change to a real number.
Excessive ambient light, inadequate
perfusion, high signal artifact, a
defective or disconnected sensor,
etc.
Reposition or relocate the sensor and/or
increase perfusion.
