V. ALGO 3i Screening Procedure

Step 11: Power Off

Note: In non-screening modes, if the ALGO 3i screener has not been active for a period of 10 minutes
(i.e. no buttons have been pushed), it will turn itself off. This is to preserve battery power. However, the
ALGO 3i screener will not turn itself off during screening.

Step 12: Clean Preamp3i and ATA3i cables before and/or after use

Caution: Carefully clean the sensor cable after each use. Residual hydrogel adhesive may eventually
damage the cable clips by corrosion.

SpeedScreen mode (alternative to Steps 3 to 6 or ScreenBaby mode)

When enabled (see Biomed preferences), SpeedScreen mode allows advanced users to
immediately begin screening according to Biomed-selected default parameters. Infants should be
prepped, and screening supplies/cable attachments should be in place prior to clicking on
SpeedScreen. You may only enter infant data by clicking "OK" (to access Infant Data window)
prior to completion of the screen. SpeedScreen may decrease total screening time by allowing
users to enter infant data while the screening is in progress.

B. From the Screening Complete window, you may instead click "OK", which will bring
you to the DataManagement Window. You may immediately print or export the
screening record just saved. See the section "Printing (or Exporting) a Record
Immediately after Screening" at the end of this chapter.
To power off the ALGO 3i screener, return to MainMenu prior to initiating the power down
sequence.
The ALGO 3i screener has a 3-second power-down cycle, during which the user must slide
and hold the On/Off switch upward. During this time, you will see a baby image and a
"Shutting Down...Please Wait" message. The ALGO 3i screener will count down from 5 to
1. If the On/Off switch is released before the 3-second power-down cycle is complete, the
ALGO 3i screener will revert to its previous display. The display will turn off when the
power-down cycle is complete.
The ALGO 3i screener will not permit power-off during screening. These mechanisms are
to prevent unintentional loss of screening records.
Clean ALGO cables according to your hospital or clinical protocol. ALGO cables may be
cleaned using a cloth dampened with water, or a diluted hospital cleaning solution. Do not
saturate the cables. Water or isopropyl alcohol may be used to gently remove any hydrogel.
