Surgivet® V1030 Hand-Held Pulse Oximeter

Chapter 4: Operating Instructions
• All LEDs light.
• The monitor beeps briefly.
• The monitor’s software revisions (main, battery PIC, oximeter) are momentarily displayed.
• Displays “--XI” if SpO 2 high alarm limit is OFF.
• Displays “XS YES” if High Sensitivity Mode is ON.
• Displays Patient Record Number.
After a few seconds the % SpO 2 value, pulse rate, pulse signal strength and PI bar graphs should
be shown. If not, see Chapter 11: Troubleshooting for help.
WARNING! Verify that all LEDs (light emitting diodes) on the display light up upon startup
of the device.
WARNING! Verify that the monitor sounds a short tone upon startup of the device. If no
tone is heard, the speaker may be damaged. Do not use to monitor patients
until the monitor has been repaired.
If the V1030 detects an error during power up, “ERR” will display in the pulse rate section of the
display. A numeric error code will display in the SpO 2 section. See Chapter 11: Troubleshooting for
more information.
Upon power-up, the following parameters will be set to the last values saved before power-down:
• SpO 2 averaging time
• Pulse rate averaging setting
• Trend interval
• Printer output format
• Patient Type
• SpO 2 alarm limits (See Note below)
• Pulse rate alarm limits
• Alarm volume (See Note below)
• Pulse beep on/off volume
• Normal/High Sensitivity setting
• Language
• Display Brightness
See Restoring Defaults in Chapter 5: Changing the Monitor’s Settings.
NOTE: If the low SpO 2 limit is set to less than 90% it will be reset to 90% when the monitor
is next powered on. The high SpO 2 limit will be adjusted to 91% if it is 90% or less.
NOTE: If the alarm volume is set to a value less then 8 at power down, it will be reset to 8
when the monitor is next powered on.
Checking the Monitor’s Performance
Pulse oximeters do not require user calibration. If checking the function of the device is desired,
an Oximetry Patient Simulator (Smiths Medical PM, Inc. catalog number 1606) is available as an
accessory. The simulator attaches to the oximeter in place of the sensor. It provides a known SpO 2
and pulse rate signal to the oximeter.
NOTE: A Patient Simulator does not calibrate the monitor. The monitor does not require
calibration. A Patient Simulator provides a known SpO 2 value and pulse rate to the
monitor that allows the monitor’s performance to be checked.
NOTE: A Patient Simulator cannot be used to assess the accuracy of a pulse oximeter
and/or sensor.
NOTE: f Follow the instructions included with the Patient Simulator.
