Alarms
SpO2 Equip Malfunc Low SpO
2
equipment malfunction. See your system
administrator to check the error log for details.
SpO2 Erratic Low Erratic SpO
2
measurement. Often due to a faulty
sensor, incorrect application, or incorrect
positioning of sensor.
SpO2 Extd Update Low The update period of the displayed SpO
2
value is
extended because an NBP measurement is being
taken on the same limb.
SpO2 Interference Low The level of ambient light or electrical interference
is so high that it prevents SpO
2
/Pulse Rate from
being measured reliably.
SpO2 Low Perf Low SpO
2
accuracy may be compromised due to very
low perfusion.
SpO2 No Sensor High The SpO
2
sensor cable is disconnected from the
monitor.
Note: This alarm is only enabled when the monitor is in
Interval or Continuous monitoring mode; if the monitor is
in Spot Check monitoring mode, the alarm will not sound.
SpO2 Noisy Signal Low Excessive patient movement or electrical
interference is causing irregular pulse patterns.
SpO2 Non-Pulsatile High The pulse is too weak for the algorithm to detect
the physiological pulse or the sensor is no longer
attached to the patient.
Note: This alarm is only enabled when the monitor is in
Interval or Continuous monitoring mode; if the monitor is
in Spot Check monitoring mode, the alarm will not sound.
SpO2 Sensor
Malfunc
