ZOLL E Series Monitor Defibrillator Rev H SPO2 - Manual (Page 6)

E Series - Pulse CO-Oximetry (SpO

4. Connect the patient cable to the CO-oximetry
connector at the back of the E Series unit (see
Figure 2).
Figure 2
5. Turn the selector switch to MONITOR (ON for AED
units).
The CO-oximetry parameter box will appear
momentarily on the screen.
6. Verify that the sensor's red LED is on. The oximeter
is now fully operational.
A dashed line is displayed in the CO-oximetry data
field until a pulse is detected. Once the measurement
has been established, the SpO
2
values are displayed
(e.g., 98).
7. Ensure that appropriate oxygen saturation values are
displayed and that the signal strength bar indicates
the presence of a strong signal associated with each
heartbeat.
8. Adjust the alarm limits and enable SpO
2
alarms if
desired.
Note: If ECG leads are not attached, the patient's pulse
rate as measured by the CO-oximetry sensor is
displayed as the Heart Rate (HR) in the ECG field
and the heart symbol does not flash.
If the unit displays a SPO2 FAULT XX message shortly
after power-up, the CO-oximetry monitoring subsystem
of the unit has failed. Contact the ZOLL Technical
Service Department.
Selecting a Sensor and Patient Cable
When selecting a sensor, consider the patient’s weight,
the adequacy of perfusion, the available sensor sites, the
anticipated duration of monitoring, and the parameters to
be monitored. For more information, refer to “CO-
Oximeter Accessories” on page 10 or contact ZOLL
Medical Corporation.
Selecting a Sensor Application Site
Choose a site that is well perfused and restricts a
conscious patient's movements the least. The ring finger
or middle finger of the nondominant hand is preferred.
Alternatively, you can use the other digits on the
nondominant hand. Be sure the sensor's detector is fully
covered by flesh. You can use the great toe or long toe
(next to the great toe) on restrained patients or patients
whose hands are unavailable.
To prevent interference from ambient light, ensure that
the sensor is properly applied, and cover the sensor site
with opaque material, if required. Failure to take this
precaution in high ambient light conditions may result in
inaccurate measurements.
Applying a 2-piece Reusable Sensor/Cable
Note: These instructions describe how to apply a
reusable LNCS sensor and mating Red patient
cable. For all other reusable sensors, refer to the
sensor packaging for application instructions.
Note: The reusable sensor is not intended for use on
the thumb or across a child's hand or foot.
1. Place the selected digit over the sensor window of
the reusable sensor, making sure that the sensor
cable runs over the top of the patient's hand.
The fleshiest part of the digit should cover the
detector window in the lower half of the sensor (see
Figure 3).
Figure 3
2. On finger sites, make sure the tip of the finger
touches or extends beyond the raised digit stop
inside the sensor (see Figure 4).
Figure 4
Note: With smaller digits, the digit may not need to be
pushed all the way to the stop to completely
cover the detector window.
3. Check the sensor position to ensure that the top and
bottom halves of the sensor are parallel. To ensure
accurate data, you must have complete coverage of
the detector window (see Figure 4).
4. Lift the clear plastic protective cover from the female
end of the mating patient cable, then plug the sensor
