Visual Indicators

SpO Display
2
The upper digital display is a 3-digit light emitting diode (LED) digital display that displays oxygen saturation
percentage.
♥
(Pulse Rate) Display
The lower digital display is a 3-digit LED digital display that displays pulse rate in pulses per minute.
(Perfusion) Indicator
The perfusion indicator (
indicator changes color to indicate changes in the pulse waveform signal that may affect the SpO
The perfusion indicator may blink one of three colors: green, yellow, or red.
Red indicates the pulse amplitude is too small. During red perfusion, SpO
twenty seconds, the values are replaced with dashes indicating SpO
Yellow indicates the pulse waveform amplitude is marginal or the pulse oximeter has detected artifact. Although SpO
data is acceptable, corrective measures should be considered to improve sensor placement, change sensor type, or
reduce patient movement. After 90 seconds of yellow perfusion, the 8600V will go into sensor alarm mode.
Green indicates the pulse waveform signal is of good quality and SpO 2 data is accurate.
CAUTION! The 8600V might interpret motion artifact as good perfusion. Limit motion as much as possible.
(Audible Alarm Inactive) Indicator
• The
indicator continuously illuminated indicates audible alarms are permanently disabled.
• The
indicator flashes at once a second when the audible alarms are temporarily disabled.
This indicator is a yellow
will illuminate continuously if the audible alarm has been permanently disabled via option switch 1 and the alarm
volume OFF.
SENSOR
Indicator
SENSOR
The indicator continuously illuminated indicates there is a sensor alarm. This is caused by the system
determining that the sensor is disconnected, damaged, or dislodged. When a sensor fault is found, the
SENSOR
red indicator illuminates and the audible alarm sounds continuously until the condition terminates.
If a sensor alarm condition persists for 10 seconds or longer the displays will show dashes (---). From the beginning of
the sensor alarm condition up to the time that the displays go into the dash mode, the numerical values will freeze on
the last valid values. The displays display new, valid data after three discernible pulses have been found.
CAUTION! A sensor alarm will result if 8600VI cable is connected incorrectly.
