PROBE SHORT. Verify that the probe is properly inserted in the left side panel. If so,
replace probe.

messages
SpO

messages can appear in the equipment alert window or in the SpO

DEFECTIVE SPO2 SENSOR. If you see the error message DEFECTIVE SpO2

working properly. Check Welch Allyn Products and Accessories (810-0409-XX) to be
sure the sensor is compatible. If compatibility is not a problem, try another sensor.

channel tries to detect blood pulsing

oxygen saturation value is displayed in the numeric window.
STANDBY is displayed in the numeric window when the SpO

sensor is disconnected
