Masimo parameter upgrades

Masimo parameter upgrades are available for device models 6400, 6500, 6700, and
6800. Available upgrades are as follows:
• Hemoglobin (SpHb)
• Acoustic respiration (RRa)
Note
Upgrading devices configured without Masimo SpO2
You can upgrade devices configured without Masimo SpO2 by adding Masimo SpO2 or
by replacing the Nellcor SpO2 module with a Masimo SpO2 module.
If you participate in a Partners in Care Biomed program, you can purchase an upgrade kit
and complete the installation on your own. Upgrade kits contain a Masimo module with
the desired parameters, a user interface license authorization code, and instructions for
installing and licensing the upgrade. To complete the installation, you also need the tools
listed in the "Disassembly and repair" section of this manual.
If a forced shutdown occurred immediately after installing
the license, you might need to reinstall the license.
Masimo SpHb and RRa require an additional license that is
installed as a software upgrade using the Service Tool.
Additional instructions for installing the Masimo licenses are
included with the Masimo parameter upgrade kits.
The EarlySense module software does not support downgrading. The
following error message appears in the device log file NAK: "FmFLASH/
GnSTATUS/1."
SpHb and RRa are not compatible with EarlySense. RRa is not compatible
with CO2.
