SpO
2
Transparent Too much light is reaching the
sensor’s light detector. This
condition usually occurs
because the sensor is off the
finger or because too much
ambient light is detected.
• Make sure that the sensor is properly
attached to the patient’s finger.
• Remove the light source.
• Cover the sensor with opaque material.
• Make sure that no ambient light can
reach the detector.
• Contact DrägerService.
SpO
2
Unrecognized
Sensor
The monitor does not recognize
the sensor connected as valid.
• Check for a defective or unapproved
sensor.
• Replace the sensor.
• Contact the hospital’s technical
personnel or DrägerService.
SpO
2
Artifact A persistent artifact is detected. • Make sure the SpO
2
sensor is properly
attached to the patient, patient is not
moving, and all cables are properly
connected.
• Contact DrägerService.
SpO
2
Weak signal Pulse amplitude is too low due
to one of the following
conditions:
• Poor perfusion (shock).
• Low body temperature.
• Check the patient and treat, if
necessary.
• Make sure the SpO
2
sensor is properly
attached to the patient and all cables
are properly connected.
• Relocate the sensor to another
extremity.
• Contact DrägerService.
SpO
2
No
Measurement
The monitor has not been able
to compute a valid measurement
within the last 30 seconds
because of unstable
measurement conditions.
• Make sure the SpO
2
sensor is properly
attached to the patient at a site free of
patient motion and all cables are
properly connected.
• Contact DrägerService.
