Step 6. Start Screening/Check Impedances: Test immediately begins after screening
parameters are selected. Monitor the impedances at each sensor location. Insure that
the impedances are less than 7 kOhms for optimal screening. If impedances are
between 8 and 11 kOhms, an "Impedances Marginal" message appears. Select the
OK key to initiate screening. If impedances are 12 kOhms or greater, screening will
pause and the message below appears. Re-prep infant as necessary to lower
impedances.
