LEAD FAULT Condition
When using a reusable finger probe, there is a system alarm to alert you when the probe is off the
Monitor. The monitor defaults this “ LEAD FAULT” condition as a System Warning alarm. You can,
however, set it as a System ALARM LEVEL in Monitor Defaults.
SPO2 Messages
Below is a list of system status alarm messages which may be displayed in the SPO2 parameter
window during monitoring.
CHECK PROBE
Reusable finger probe is off the patient. Check the probe. The factory default for this alarm is
MESSAGE ALARM.
PULSE SEARCH
Detection by the monitor of a repeatable pulse has ceased. Check the patient and the probe site.
POOR SIGNAL
The SPO2 signal is too low. No SPO2 data is displayed. This can be due to a low patient pulse,
patient motion, or some other interference. Check the patient and the probe.
LOST SIGNAL
SPO2 data continues to be displayed, but the quality of the signal is questionable. Check the patient
and the probe.
