NOISY SIGNAL
• Sensor signal disturbed by motion or other interference. Eliminate sensor
movement. Message disappears when the value is obtained.
• Sensor placement adjacent to power cords or other electrically noisy devices.
Move the noisy device or move the sensor to another site.
• If the message persists, replace the sensor.
LOW SIGNAL STRENGTH — REPOSITION OR REPLACE SENSOR
When this message appears the saturation and pulse rate continue to be
displayed; however, the Sensorwatch flashes as a indication of a possible error
condition.
• Insufficient blood flow between the sensor light emitter and detector. Move
the sensor to an area of higher perfusion.
• Poor sensor application. Reposition to place active components closer to skin
or locate to a better perfused site.
• Sensor site is below the blood pressure cuff. Move to another site.
• If the message persists, replace the sensor.
