Power-up equipment alert: program fault, settings lost
If a PROGRAM FAULT: SETTINGS LOST, TIME/DAY RESET equipment alert appears when
you turn on the monitor, the monitor cannot recall the programmed custom settings and
current time and date. This can occur if the battery is drained or after new software has
been installed.
If this occurs, the monitor provides a special sequence of display windows to help you
regain use of your monitor as quickly as possible. Refer to
“Power-up equipment alert:
program fault, settings lost” on page 11 and perform the described steps.
If you follow these steps and the equipment alert reappears at powerup, the monitor may
need to be serviced and the battery replaced. Contact a qualified service person.
Troubleshooting system error messages
If the monitor detects a system error, it will display a message similar to the following:
ERROR NUMBER: 1-123-4567
REMOVE CUFF FROM PATIENT
PLEASE NOTIFY YOUR LOCAL SERVICE
REPRESENTATIVE OR WELCH ALLYN PROTOCOL, INC.
This type of message indicates that the monitor detected an internal system problem
which may require service for the monitor. If the monitor displays this message,
disconnect the monitor from the patient. Write down the error number for the service
department, and send the monitor to your facility’s biomedical engineering department.
WARNING If a patient’s vital sign value falls outside of the upper or lower alarm
range limit, STAT SET turns off the alarm and the alarm limit except for the
following:
1. The lower alarm limits for SpO
2
and ETCO
2
are not turned off by STAT SET.
2. If HR/PR ALARM LIMITS in the Settings window is set to CANNOT TURN
OFF, STAT SET affects HR/PR alarm limits as follows:
• For an overrange HR/PR patient value (displayed as +++), the upper alarm
limit is set to the maximum alarm limit, and the lower alarm limit is
unchanged.
• For an underrange HR/PR patient value (displayed as - - -), the lower alarm
limit is set to the minimum alarm limit and the upper alarm limit is unchanged.
• For an indeterminate HR/PR patient value (displayed as ???), the alarm limits
are unchanged.
Note The message REMOVE CUFF FROM PATIENT as shown above does not imply
that the detected error is related to NIBP. It is simply a reminder to disconnect the
NIBP cuff from the patient if a cuff is connected.
