36 Chapter 3 Patient monitoring Welch Allyn Vital Signs Monitor 300 Series Monitoring SpO2 Warnings and cautions — SpO2 WARNING Disconnect the SpO2 cable from the monitor before defibrillating the patient. WARNING Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for care and use of the SpO2 sensor.
Directions for Use Chapter 3 Patient monitoring 37 Caution Some sensors might not work with some patients. If, after 20 seconds, a properly functioning sensor fails to discern a pulse, do the following: 1. Adjust or reposition the sensor. If the failure continues: 2. Use a different type of sensor. SpO2 monitoring procedure 1. Verify that the SpO2 sensor cable is connected to the monitor. 2. Attach the SpO2 finger clip sensor to the end of the patient’s index finger, as shown below.
38 Chapter 3 Patient monitoring Welch Allyn Vital Signs Monitor 300 Series Caution Users should check for audible pulse tones in conjunction with the SpO2 function. If these tones do not sound, the audio has failed. Remove the device from service and contact Welch Allyn.
Directions for Use Chapter 3 Patient monitoring 39 Monitoring temperature Warnings and cautions — temperature WARNING To ensure patient safety and to obtain accurate and reliable temperature results, read this section thoroughly before using the temperature instrument. WARNING Always put a single-use probe tip cover on the probe tip before taking a temperature measurement. Failure to use a probe tip cover can cause patient discomfort, patient cross-contamination, and erroneous temperature readings.
40 Chapter 3 Patient monitoring Welch Allyn Vital Signs Monitor 300 Series Setting the temperature measurement type The monitor, if configured with the temperature option, can provide both predictive and monitored temperature measurements. A predictive measurement is a one-time measurement that takes only a few seconds. It results in a single temperature reading which is displayed at the end of the brief measurement period.
Directions for Use Chapter 3 Patient monitoring 41 Ejecting a used probe cover Do not touch the used probe cover. 1. Position the probe over an appropriate disposal receptacle. 2. While holding the probe securely, push the probe cover ejector button (blue or red) to remove the probe cover into the disposal receptacle. Predictive temperature measurement Note Verify that the temperature measurement type is set to predictive. (The display is either ºF or ºC ; the letter ‘M’ is not illuminated.
42 Chapter 3 Patient monitoring Welch Allyn Vital Signs Monitor 300 Series Sublingual pockets 4. Have the patient close his/her lips around the probe. Caution If the patient bites the probe, the probe can be damaged. 5. Hold the probe in place to assure continuous contact with the oral tissue until the measurement is complete. Rotating segments appear in the temperature window, indicating that the measurement is in progress.
Directions for Use Chapter 3 Patient monitoring 43 WARNING If the probe becomes contaminated, follow the instructions under “Thermometer and probe cleaning procedure” on page 46. Axillary predictive When used correctly, the monitor produces an accurate axillary temperature measurement in less than 15 seconds for adults and in less than 13 seconds for pediatric patients. Note For axillary temperatures, use only the oral probe (blue ejection button) and the blue probe well.
44 Chapter 3 Patient monitoring Welch Allyn Vital Signs Monitor 300 Series 7. Eject the probe cover by pressing the ejection button; hygienically dispose of the probe cover. 8. Return the probe to the probe well. If the monitor cannot make a predicted measurement within 60 seconds, it switches to making a monitored temperature measurement. (See “Monitored temperature measurement” on page 45.) Caution Do not monitor temperature continuously for more than 5 minutes.
Directions for Use Chapter 3 Patient monitoring 45 7. Eject the probe cover by pressing the ejection button, and hygienically dispose of it. 8. Return the probe to the probe well. WARNING If the probe becomes contaminated, follow the instructions under “Thermometer and probe cleaning procedure” on page 46.

Caution Do not immerse or soak the thermometer or probe in any type of fluid.
47 4 Alarms and alerts WARNING If you turn off any alarm limits while responding to an alarm, verify alarm limits before you resume patient monitoring. Responding to a patient alarm WARNING If a patient alarm and an equipment alert occur at the same time, take care of the patient alarm first. A patient alarm occurs when a vital-sign measurement falls outside of programmed limits.
48 Chapter 4 Alarms and alerts Welch Allyn Vital Signs Monitor 300 Series Recoverable SpO2 alert—escalated An SpO2 equipment alert is always escalated immediately to the level of a patient alarm if it occurs when both of the following conditions exist: • SpO2 monitoring has begun and the monitor has recorded an SpO2 measurement • An SpO2 or Pulse Rate alarm limit has been set See “Responding to a patient alarm” on page 47.
Directions for Use Chapter 4 Alarms and alerts 49 Alarm indicators The monitor alarm indicators are as follows: Event Audible indicator Visual indicator Patient alarm Three short tones in quick succession, followed by a short silence, and then two short tones in quick succession, followed by a long silence; repeated until action is taken.
