Detailed Operation Alarm Settings WARNING: To comply with relevant product safety standards, ensure that all alarm volumes are set appropriately and are audible in all situations. Do not cover or otherwise hinder any speaker openings. WARNING: Verify all alarm setting and limits during system startup to ensure that they are set as intended. -
Page 26: Recalling Alarm Settings
Detailed Operation Recalling Alarm Settings The 2500A VET retains most user settings when the device is turned off. However, if SpO (02L) is set below 85% and/or the Alarm Volume (Adb) is OFF, these settings revert to their default values when the device is turned on. The user may recall the Alarm Volume--OFF setting by using Setup mode to turn on the device and selecting rCL yES. -
Page 27: Clearing The Memory
Detailed Operation Clearing the Memory The Memory Clear function deletes the data currently stored in the device’s memory. NOTE: If “no” is selected for either CLr or dEL, Setup mode continues to the calendar and clock settings. 1. Enter Setup mode, and scroll through the settings until Memory Clear (CLr) appears in the display. -

Page 45: Principles Of Operation
Technical Information Principles of Operation Pulse oximetry is a non-invasive method that passes red and infrared light through perfused tissue and detects the fluctuating signals caused by arterial pulses. Well-oxygenated blood is bright red, while poorly oxygenated blood is dark red. The pulse oximeter determines functional oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin (SpO ) from this color difference by measuring the ratio of absorbed red and infrared light as volume fluctuates with each pulse. - Page 46 Technical Information Dimensions: 13.8 cm H x 7.0 cm W x 3.2 cm D (5.4 in H x 2.8 in W x 1.3 in D) Weight: 213 g (7.5 oz) (with alkaline batteries) 233 g (8.2 oz) (with NiMH rechargeable battery pack) Classifications per ANSI/AAMI ES60601-1 and CAN/CSA-C22.2 No.
