NIBP Messages. The following is a list of messages that may be displayed during NIBP
monitoring:
4.3 SpO2 Monitoring. The SPO2 Menu is brought up (if this parameter is turned on through the
SETUPS Menu) with the SPO2 Menu-Select Icon.
The following three secondary menus support the SpO2 monitoring feature:
• RECORDER Menu. Used to select recorder functions and to set the recorder and
trace speed.
• ALARMS Menu. Used to set and/or disable the SpO2 alarms. The range of Alarm
Limits for SpO2 is 50 to 99%, Off.
• SpO2 Trend Menu. Used to setup and print Trended information.
4.3.1 Sensor Positioning. The monitoring site, sensor position, sensor connection and the ambient
environment all have possible impacts on the operation of this monitor. The following is a list of
possible messages (which are indicated in the SpO2 display), their causes and possible solutions:
a. LOW LIGHT. The transmission of the light is partially blocked. The tissue at the site
may be too opaque and/or thick. If the sensor is positioned on the finger, check the
fingernails for nail polish, long fingernails and artificial fingernails; remove fingernail
polish completely, for artificial nails: use a Multi-Site sensor at another location, and,
for long fingernails: either trim the nails or use a Multi-site sensor at another location.

CHANGE NIBP CUFF Displayed for 30 seconds whenever the Patient Mode is
switched between Adult and Neonate.
CUFF LEAK Displayed if the monitor detects a leak in the cuff during the
last reading attempt. This message is also displayed, with
other messages, between reading attempts to provide a
visual indication that a leak was detected in the cuff during
the previous reading attempt.
CUFF=XXX Displayed while the monitor is making an NIBP
determination. Provides a visual indication of the actual
pressure of the cuff throughout the measurement.
ET=XXX Indicates the time since the last NIBP measurement was
completed.
LONG PRESS Displayed if the monitor detects Cuff Pressure remaining
the same for more then 30 seconds or if a reading has been
in progress for more than 150 seconds for adults (80
seconds for neonates).
NOT INFLATING Displayed if the monitor detects the Cuff Inflation Cycle
running longer than 30 seconds for adults (6 seconds for
