Alarm message Priority Explanation/Measure
Oxi sensor expired
Oxi sen. exp. (P-Box)
Medium priority  The sensor is expired and has to be exchanged with
a new one.
Oxi sensor loose Medium priority  The sensor indicated has come loose from the
measuring site at the body or from the intermediate
cable.
 Check the respective sensor and reconnect if
necessary.
Oxi: Calibrating
Oxi: Calibrating (P-Box)
Low priority  After attaching the sensor, the oximeter calibrates
automatically. This process, indicated by an
hourglass symbol in the upper right corner of the
parameter field, can take up to 120 s for SpCO-,
SpHb- and SpMet measurement.
Oxi: Check connection
to P-box
Oxi: Check conn. (P-
Box)
Medium priority  The sensor- or intermediate cable is not connected
or not connected correctly.
 Disconnect sensor- or intermediate cable and
connect again.
 If the sensor LED does not flash, the intermediate
cable has to be exchanged.
Oxi: Demo tool
Oxi: Demo tool (P-Box)
Medium priority  For demonstration purposes, a demo sensor has
been connected.
 For measurement of patient data, the sensor has to
be exchanged for a real sensor.
Oxi: Interference
Medium priority  Too strong ambient light on the patient (sensor).
 The light source has to be removed or reduced.
 Protect sensor from light.
 Attach sensor at another site.
Oxi: Low perfusion
Oxi: Low perf. (P-Box)
Medium priority  The measured signal is too weak.
 Make sure that the patient lies calmly during the
measurement and that there is no commotion
caused by the vehicle.
 Select another measuring site.
Oxi: SpO2 only mode
Oxi: SpO2 only (P-Box)
Medium priority  If the calibration of the parameters SpCO, SpMet
and SpHb is not possible, the corpuls
3
switches to
SpO2-only mode.
 By disconnecting and re-connecting the sensor at
the measuring site, calibration is started anew.
P(X) < [NUMBER]
mmHg
P(X) > [NUMBER]
mmHg
Medium priority  "X" stands for the invasive pressure channel 1-4.
 The measured pressure exceeds or falls below the
upper/lower alarm limit.
 Check the patient's vital signs.
Pacer circuit open High priority  Make sure that all cables and connecting plugs are
connected correctly.
 Make sure that the corPatch electrodes are placed
correctly.
