The WristOx
2
, Model 3150, has three states: Cable, Standby, and On.
Cable
The device is in Cable mode when it is connected to a PC using the USB interface cable.
While in Cable mode, the device does not collect or save data and the Bluetooth radio is
off.
Standby
When the device is in Standby mode, the screen is blank and the device appears to be off.
In Standby, it is ready for a signal that will turn the device on (e.g., pressing activation
switch, inserting finger in sensor [Spot Check mode], connecting sensor [Sensor Activation
mode], or programmed start time [Programmed mode]). While in Standby mode, the
device does not collect or save data and the Bluetooth radio is off.
On
When the device is on, it can collect and save data. The device features three turn on
modes:
• Spot Check mode
• Sensor Activation mode
• Programmed mode
The device is delivered in Spot Check mode. nVISION software (version 6.3 or higher) is
needed to access the device settings and change Spot Check mode to Sensor Activation
or Programmed mode (see “nVISION Software”).
The device recalls the active settings when the device is shut off and turned on again.
Spot Check Mode
Spot Check mode is the default turn on operation mode.
The device automatically turns on when a finger is inserted into the sensor. It enters
Standby mode 10 seconds after the finger is removed. If the sensor is disconnected, the
device enters Standby mode immediately.
In this mode, the sensor can be left connected to the device.
NOTE: If the device determines that a sensor fault exists (a sensor failure, misalignment,
or incompatibility with the device) or if a pulse oximeter sensor signal cannot be
detected, the device enters Standby mode after 3 minutes.
