TELEMETRY TRANSMITTER (96281) OPERATIONS MANUAL 4-9
B ASIC OPERATIONS
Notes:
• If one of the leads fails, a lead fault message shows on the host monitor.
• If there is no valid lead vector, the message CHAN 1 & 2 - LEADS OFF shows and an alarm
tone sounds only at the host monitor.
Basic User Actions
The up and down arrow buttons (refer to 6 in Figure 4-1 on page 4-4) provide navigational control,
such as moving through ECG and SpO
2
displays. These up/down buttons are only included on the
96281-B and 96281-C models.
All 96281 devices include the Action button, refer to item 4 in Figure 4-1 on page 4-4. If a patient or
user presses this button, and keeps the button pressed for approximately one and a half seconds, the
transmitter sends an “event” to the host monitor. The transmitter provides visual indication of such
“events” by flashing all its LEAD OFF indicators on-off, on-off, twice in quick succession. The
corresponding action at the host monitor, depends on the configuration settings of the host monitor, so
please refer to the Monitor Operations Manual, but typically events are used to generate strip
recordings.
Warnings:
• Do not use any transmitter that has been compromised by liquid ingress.
• Do not allow liquid to enter the battery compartment.
• Readings for SpO
2
should not be taken from the same arm that has an NIBP cuff
attached.
Cautions:
• Clean the transmitter case with the battery door closed. Fluids, including cleaning
solutions, may damage the electrical components inside and cause the transmitter to
malfunction.
• Clean the transmitter after every procedure (refer to
Cleaning, Disinfecting,
and Sterilization
on page 5-1 for more information).
Notes:
• Should all of the lead fault indicators illuminate and stay illuminated during operation, then
the AriaTele transmitter has detected an internal fault condition. If this occurs, the device
will stop transmitting and will not show any ECG or SpO
2
information. To clear this
condition, install new batteries.
• If all of the lead fault indicators remain permanently illuminated, please contact your
Spacelabs Healthcare service representative for assistance.
