SpO2 INOPs
INOP Message Indication What to do
SpO₂ Equip Malf Monitor: INOP tone There is a problem with the SpO
2
hardware. Contact your
service personnel.
SpO₂ Erratic Monitor: INOP tone
Numeric is replaced by a -?-
Check the sensor placement. Try another adapter cable
and sensor. If the INOP persists, contact your service
personnel.
SpO₂ Extd.Update Monitor: display only
Numeric is replaced by a -?-
The update period of displayed values is extended due to
a noninvasive blood pressure measurement on the same
limb, or an excessively noisy signal.
SpO₂ Low Perf Monitor: display only
Numeric is replaced by a -?-
Accuracy may be compromised due to very low
perfusion. Stimulate circulation at sensor site. If INOP
persists, change the measurement site.
SpO₂ No Pulse
!! <SpO₂ Label> No Pulse
!!!<SpO₂ Label> No Pulse
Monitor: INOP tone
Numeric is replaced by a -?-
Check the perfusion at measurement site. If necessary,
stimulate circulation or change measurement site. If the
INOP is due to noninvasive blood pressure measurement
on the same limb, wait until the measurement is finished.
SpO₂ No Sensor Monitor: INOP tone
Numeric is replaced by a -?-
Ensure the SpO
2
sensor is connected. If the INOP
persists, try another adapter cable and sensor. If you
silence this INOP, the measurement will be switched off.
SpO₂ NoisySignal Monitor: INOP tone
Numeric is replaced by a -?-
Excessive patient movement or electrical interference is
causing irregular pulse patterns. Try to reduce patient
movement, or to relieve the cable strain on the sensor.
SpO₂ Poor Signal Monitor: display only
Numeric is replaced by a -?-
The signal condition of the SpO
2
measurement is poor
and measurement accuracy may be compromised.
SpO₂ Pulse? Monitor: INOP tone
Numeric is replaced by a -?-
The detectable pulsations of the SpO
2
signal are outside
the specified pulse rate range.
SpO₂ Searching Monitor: display only
Numeric unavailable
SpO
2
is analyzing the patient signal to derive Pulse, and
SpO
2
values. Please wait until the search analysis is
complete.
SpO₂ Sensor Malf Monitor: INOP tone
Numeric unavailable
The SpO
2
sensor or adapter cable is faulty. Try another
adapter cable and sensor. If the INOP persists, contact
your service personnel.
SpO₂ Sensor Off Monitor: INOP tone
Numeric unavailable
The SpO
2
sensor is not properly applied to the patient.
Apply the sensor following the instructions supplied by
the manufacturer.
SpO₂ Unkn.Sensor Monitor: display only
Numeric is replaced by a -?-
The connected sensor or adapter cable is not supported
by the SpO
2
measurement. Use only specified sensors
and cables.
