Patient Security Mode - Nonin Avant 9600 Operator's Manual

Patient Security Mode

When the Avant 9600's Patient Security mode is enabled, users cannot change SpO
or Pulse Rate limits—though it is still possible to view those limits. In Patient
Security mode, users cannot view or set the alarm volume, pulse volume, or time and
date.
When the Avant 9600 is turned on in Patient Security mode, "111 111" blinks
three times in amber on the display area, and three informational tones are sounded.
The upper alarm limits are then displayed, followed by the lower alarm limits.
NOTE: Patient memory cannot be cleared when the Avant 9600 is in Patient
Security mode.
NOTE: Patient Security mode is not disabled when the unit is turned off.
Viewing and Changing Patient Security Mode
1. Press and hold both the Alarm Limits button and the Time/Date button for 5
seconds.
• The state of Patient Security mode is displayed in green on the
Numeric LEDs for 3 seconds: "111 111" is displayed when
Patient Security mode is enabled; "000 000" is displayed when
Patient Security mode is disabled.
2. To change Patient Security mode from its current setting, press the Volume
button while the mode is displayed. The new state of Patient Security mode is
displayed in amber on the Numeric LEDs for 2 seconds.
NOTE: Alarm limits cannot be changed when the Avant 9600 is in Patient
Security mode. Patient Security mode prevents accidental changes
to critical parameters. The Avant 9600 allows users to lock and
unlock alarm limits, volume settings, time settings, and time
required to turn off the device.
