Cautions

• This equipment complies with IEC 60601-1-2:2001 for electromagnetic compatibility for medical electrical equipment and/or systems. This standard is designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a typical medical installation. However, because of the proliferation of radiofrequency transmitting equipment and other sources of electrical noise in healthcare and other environments, it is possible that high levels of such interference due to close proximity or strength of a source might disrupt the performance of this device. Medical electrical equipment needs special precautions regarding EMC, and all equipment must be installed and put into service according to the EMC information specified in this manual. • Portable and mobile RF communications equipment can affect medical electrical equipment. • If this device fails to respond as described, discontinue use until the situation is corrected by qualified technical professionals. • The sensor might not work on cold extremities due to reduced circulation. Warm or rub the finger to increase circulation, or reposition the sensor. • Do not gas sterilize or autoclave this device. • Batteries might leak or explode if used or disposed of improperly. • This device has motion tolerant software that minimizes the likelihood of motion artifact being misinterpreted as good pulse quality. In some circumstances, however, the device may still interpret motion as good pulse quality. • Inspect the sensor application site at least every 6 to 8 hours to ensure correct sensor alignment and skin integrity. Patient sensitivity to sensors and/or double-backed adhesive strips may vary due to medical status or skin condition. • Do not place liquids on top of this device.

Displays, Indicators and Controls

Numeric LEDs Green numeric LEDs display %SpO2 and pulse rate values. When setting the device, these LEDs also display values for alarm limits, volume, and date and time settings.

Indicators and Icons

Alarm Bar LED This LED indicates all alarm conditions. For high priority (patient) alarms, the indicator is displayed in red, blinking fast. For medium priority alarms, the indicator is displayed in amber, blinking slowly.

Pulse Quality LED This amber LED blinks to indicate a poor pulse signal. If there is a sustained period of poor quality signals, this LED will display a steady, constant light.

Sensor Alarm LED This amber LED indicates when a sensor has become disconnected, has failed, or is not compatible with this monitor.

WARNING: Do not use a damaged sensor.

Pulse Strength Bargraph LED This 8-segment tricolor bargraph indicates pulse strength as determined by the oximeter. The height of the Pulse Strength Bargraph LED is proportional to the pulse signal, and the color is determined by pulse strength: Green = a good pulse strength Amber = a marginal pulse strength Red = a low pulse strength, high priority alarm

Alarm Silence LED This amber LED indicates that the audible alarm is silenced for two minutes when it blinks. When alarms are active, this LED blinks in time with the alarm bar. If no alarms are active, this LED flashes at the medium priority alarm rate. When lit solid, the Alarm Silence LED indicates that audible alarm volumes are set to less than 45 dB.

AC Power Adapter LED This green LED is displayed when an external power supply is providing power to the Model 7500.
