Using SpO
2
with Neonates
Enabling neonatal operation, by setting transmitter DIP switch 7, changes the
sensor detection operation in the transmitter, improving the signal quality for
neonatal patients. This switch must be set ON for neonatal use and set OFF for
adult use. When the neonate operation is selected the SpO
2
status key in the
Channel Format menu indicates NEO.

Alarm Message Summary
SpO
2
SENSOR DISCONNECTED
Displayed when the transmitter does not detect either an adapter cable or a
sensor connected to an adapter cable. If the message persists and the adapter
cable is secure, replace the adapter cable. The alarm will stop after approximately
10 seconds. On remote view, there may be no audible alarm on the remote
mainframe before the local alarm stops.
SpO
2
FAULTY SENSOR
The 91343 SpO
2
processor has detected a defective sensor that will require
replacement. The SensorWatch bar can be used to confirm absence of sensor
output.
SpO
2
UNAVAILABLE
Displayed when the LED and/or photodiode have failed. Replace the sensor
and/or SpO
2
adapter cable.
SpO
2
AMBIENT LIGHT INTF.
Displayed when:
• The sensor is receiving external light interference from a bright light source
near the sensor. Shield the sensor from the external light source. If the
condition persists for more than 30 seconds, ??? will replace the data
display.
• The sensor photodiode and LEDs are misaligned on flexible sensors allowing
light to enter. Realign the sensor photodiode with LEDs.
• If a message appears with finger clip, replace the sensor.
WARNING:
• Error messages indicate a problem or condition that may
affect accurate monitoring values. Do not ignore these
messages. Correct any fault before continuing.
!
• When any SpO
2
alarm message is displayed, the saturation
value is immediately changed to ??? and an alarm is triggered.
If your module has been configured for an alarm using the
Module Configuration Manager the parameter display will blink
yellow for Low and Medium priority alarms, and will blink red for
High priority alarms. An alarm will begin after the message
alarm delay time has elapsed. (Refer to the Module
Configuration Manager chapter of the UCN Operations
Manual).
