Event Codes - Spacelabs 90207 Operation Manual

Event Codes

The monitors display an event code whenever an event prevents the monitor from successfully com-
pleting a blood pressure measurement. The two numerical digits of the event code indicate the reason
the measurement was aborted. The table below lists event codes that are displayed on the monitor, as
well as event codes that appear on the Event Code Report.

Operation
Excess movement artifact. Frequent EC10 messages may indicate an air
leak.
A) A very large number of movement artifacts
B) Heart rate arrhythmia
A) Movement artifact at mean arterial pressure
B) Heart rate arrhythmia
A) Movement artifact at systole
B) Heart rate arrhythmia
A) Movement artifact at diastole
B) Heart rate arrhythmia
A) Movement artifact
B) Heart rate arrhythmia
Systole was found to be above the highest cuff pressure. However, this
result appears to be an error caused by motion artifact. Therefore, the
cuff will not be infl ated to a higher pressure on the next measurement at-
tempt.
A) Movement artifact
B) Heart rate arrhythmia
A) Movement artifact
B) Heart rate arrhythmia
Did not pump above the mean arterial level.
Did not pump above systolic pressure.
Systole appears higher than the selected maximum cuff pressure limit.
Did not reach initial cuff pressure. The cuff may have been improperly ap-
plied or there may be an air leak.
Overpressure.
Overpressure.
No cuff attached.
Kinked hose.
Cuff applied too loosely.
Patient canceled reading by pressing STOP key. No retry attempt is made
