13.7.1 Oximetry Faults/Alerts
Connect pressure sensor for
arterial pressure monitoring
An arterial pressure-dependent key
parameter is configured
Connection between the pressure cable
and an arterial pressure sensor has not
been detected
Verify connection between pressure cable and catheter
Disconnect pressure cable and check for missing pins
Change Edwards pressure sensor
Change pressure cable
Connect pressure sensor for
pulmonary artery monitoring
MPAP is configured as a key parameter
Connection between the pressure cable
and a pulmonary artery pressure sensor
has not been detected
Verify connection between pressure cable and catheter
Disconnect pressure cable and check for missing pins
Change Edwards pressure sensor
Change pressure cable
Connect pressure sensor for
CVP monitoring
CVP is configured as a key parameter
Connection between the pressure cable
and a central venous pressure sensor has
not been detected
Verify connection between pressure cable and catheter
Disconnect pressure cable and check for missing pins
Change Edwards pressure sensor
Change pressure cable
Zero arterial pressure for CO
monitoring
The arterial pressure signal was not
zeroed prior to CO monitoring
Touch the “Zero & Waveform” icon on the navigation bar
or from the Clinical Actions Menu to zero pressure
Zero pressure for arterial
pressure monitoring
The arterial pressure signal was not
zeroed prior to monitoring
Touch the “Zero & Waveform” icon on the navigation bar
or from the Clinical Actions Menu to zero pressure
Zero pressure for pulmonary
artery monitoring
The pulmonary artery pressure signal was
not zeroed prior to monitoring
Touch the “Zero & Waveform” icon on the navigation bar
or from the Clinical Actions Menu to zero pressure
Zero pressure for CVP
monitoring
The central venous pressure signal was
not zeroed prior to monitoring
Touch the “Zero & Waveform” icon on the navigation bar
or from the Clinical Actions Menu to zero pressure
Connect CVP analog input or
enter CVP value for SVR
monitoring
CVP cable connection not detected
No CVP value entered
Verify cable connection between the HemoSphere
advanced monitor and bedside monitor is secure
Change CVP cable
Enter CVP value
Configure CVP analog input or
enter CVP for SVR monitoring
HemoSphere advanced monitor analog
input port not configured to accept CVP
signal
No CVP value entered
Use the analog input settings screen to configure analog
input ports 1 or 2 for external monitor CVP signal output
Enter CVP value
CI > CO Incorrect patient BSA
BSA <1
Verify units of measure and values for patient's height and
weight.
SVR > SVRI Incorrect patient BSA
BSA <1
Verify units of measure and values for patient’s height and
weight
Table 13-20 Oximetry faults/alerts
Message Possible causes Suggested actions
Fault: Oximetry – Light Range Poor oximetry cable/catheter connection
Debris or film obstructing oximetry cable/
catheter connector lens
Oximetry cable malfunction
Catheter kinked or damaged
Verify secure oximetry cable /catheter connection
Clean oximetry cable /catheter connectors with 70%
isopropyl alcohol and swab, let air-dry and recalibrate
Change oximetry cable and recalibrate
Replace catheter if damage is suspected and recalibrate
Fault: Oximetry – Red/IR
Transmit
Debris or film obstructing oximetry cable /
catheter connector lens
Oximetry cable malfunction
Clean oximetry cable / catheter connectors with 70%
isopropyl alcohol and swab, let air dry and recalibrate
Power monitor off and on to restore platform
Change oximetry cable and recalibrate
