What to do if Smiths Medical Equipment oximeter doesn’t turn on?
If your Smiths Medical Equipment oximeter doesn’t turn on, it could be due to weak batteries or lack of AC power, or the batteries might not be installed correctly. Try replacing or recharging the batteries, connecting to an AC power source, and ensuring the batteries are installed correctly.
Why is the pulse rate erratic on my Smiths Medical Equipment?
An erratic, intermittent, or incorrect pulse rate on your Smiths Medical Equipment can occur if the SpO sensor is improperly positioned, the patient is experiencing poor perfusion or moving too much, there is too much ambient light, or the sensor/cable is defective. Reposition the sensor, confirm the signal level, ensure the patient remains still (placing the extremity on a pillow), and shield the sensor from light. If the issue continues, try a new sensor.
What to do if Smiths Medical Equipment SpO value is erratic?
If the SpO value on your Smiths Medical Equipment is erratic, intermittent, or incorrect, it may be due to poor patient perfusion, patient motion, or a defective sensor or patient cable. Confirm the signal level, reposition the sensor, and ensure the patient remains still for accurate measurements. If problems persist, try a new sensor.
What does L0 Bat mean on my Smiths Medical Equipment display?
If your Smiths Medical Equipment oximeter displays 'L0 Bat', it means AC power is connected, but there are no batteries installed or the installed batteries are weak. Replace or recharge the batteries to resolve this.
Why is there no pulse shown on Smiths Medical Equipment bargraph?
If no pulse is shown on the bargraph or PI graph of your Smiths Medical Equipment, it could be due to a disconnected patient cable or sensor, incorrect sensor positioning, poor patient perfusion, or a defective sensor/cable. Check the sensor connections, reposition the sensor, and if necessary, try a new sensor.
Why is the External Power indicator X not lit (USB Cable) on my Smiths Medical Equipment?
