Specifications
Characteristic Specification
a
a.When performing SpO2 monitoring, the monitor SpO2 channel may not (in rare instances) initially detect a damaged SpO2
sensor or extension cable (as described in EN865:1997, Section 51.109), but may simply display a flat line and no numerics. If
this occurs, try connecting a new SpO2 sensor (and extension cable, if needed) and restart the monitor to resume normal
monitoring.
