Automatic Shutdown And Power Off; Using Oximax™ Pulse Oximetry Sensors - Nellcor OXIMAX N-600X Series Service Manual

If the oximeter detects an internal problem during the POST process, an error tone
sounds and the oximeter displays an error code (EEE) and the corresponding
number. See Troubleshooting, page 137.
Note:
For standard usage, connect sensor cables prior to turning on the oximeter. Do not connect
any sensor cables to the oximeter when verifying oximeter functionality as part of
performance testing.
Note:
Physiological conditions, medical procedures, or external agents that may interfere with the
monitor's ability to detect and display measurements, include dysfunctional hemoglobin,
arterial dyes, low perfusion, dark pigment, and externally applied coloring agents such as
nail polish, dye, or pigmented cream.
