A. Prepare infant for screening (See Chapter VI. Baby Preparation)
B. Turn on the ALGO 3i screener, wait for the MainMenu to appear, and click on
SpeedScreen. (If required fields are set, SpeedScreen will not be available.)
C. If impedances are below 8 kOhms, screening will immediately begin, and ALGO 3i
screener will advance to the “Screening in Progress” window.
i. If impedances are between 8 kOhms and 11 kOhms, the “Impedances Marginal”
message will appear, showing actual impedances, and asking you to confirm your
intention to begin screening. Natus recommends skin prepping to reduce
impedances to below 8 kOhms.
ii. If impedances are 12 kOhms or greater, the “Impedances Too High” message will
appear and screening will pause. Skin prepping is necessary.
iii. Once impedances are satisfactory, click “OK” to begin or continue screening.
iv. The ALGO 3i screener will advance to the Screening in Progress window.
D. If you wish to enter infant data for the screening record, click “OK” from the Screening
in Progress window to access the Infant Data window.
i. You must access the Infant Data window prior to completion of the screen
(minimum time is about 36 seconds), or else the screening record will be saved
without any infant data.
ii. The device will display the Infant Data window. Enter the desired information, and
click “OK” to return to the Screening in Progress window. As in ScreenBaby
mode, the ALGO 3i screener will display the information you have entered and will
ask you to confirm that all data is correct.
Note: Once you exit the Infant Data window, you may not re-enter this area. Ensure that all infant
data is accurate before clicking “OK”.
E. If you do not wish to enter infant data for the screening record, proceed with screening.
At the completion of the screening, the device will save the screening record and will
display the screening results. The infant data fields will be blank.

G. Return to MainMenu or disposition the screening record (Step 10).
