Impedance Check Screen
During the impedance check, the electrode symbols on the graphic of the baby’s head
will display in green or yellow with the kΩ impedance value shown toward the bottom
of the screen (Table 13). Once the impedance values at all locations remain “green”
(<50 k Ω) for a few consecutive seconds, the impedance check stops and the response
detection phase begins automatically (Table 14).
Table 13 Impedance Check Screen
If any impedance indicator remains yellow, the screener must improve the impedance
at this electrode position by:
• Making sure that the electrode is placed properly on the prepared skin site.
• If poor impedance persists, it may be necessary to remove the electrode and
use the skin preparation product to clean the skin again. It may be possible to
reapply the same electrode but if the adhesion is poor then a new electrode may
be required.
After approximately 60 seconds of impedance checking, an Impedance time out message
will appear. Upon dismissing the message, the initial test screen appears again. No test
is saved if the impedance was not completed.
