Adjusting the Factory Default Settings

Overview
WARNING
Audible alarms should not be silenced if patient safety could be compromised.
WARNING
Each time the pulse oximeter is used, check alarm limits to ensure that they are
appropriate for the patient being monitored.
WARNING
The SPD feature is for use with adults patients only. In Neonate Mode, the SPD feature
remains OFF.
Caution
Use of the SPD alarm feature does not change the need to set threshold limits appropriate to
the patient being monitored.
The OxiMax N-600x pulse oximeter is shipped with factory default settings. Factory
default settings are divided into two groups: adult and neonate. The oximeter lists
adult-pediatric alarm limit settings rather than neonate settings at power-up. Set the
oximeter's operating mode to adult-pediatric or neonatal using the LIMITS softkey.
This setting remains active until the oximeter is turned OFF. As a qualified service
technician, set institutional default settings, if they are different than the power-on
default settings, using Service Function Menus, page 130.
Use the softkeys to change alarm limits, displays, baud rates, time and date, and
trend data views. Some values cannot be saved as power-on default values.
