Message Possible Cause Suggested Action
RESP > # The respiration rate is above the
upper alarm limit.
• Check the patient and treat, if necessary.
• Check the placement of electrodes. Change
their position, if necessary.
• Move the electrodes away from the source
of interference.
RESP < # The respiration rate is below the
lower alarm limit.
• Check the patient and treat, if necessary.
• Check the placement of electrodes. Change
their position, if necessary.
RESP Out of
Range (High)
• The respiration rate exceeds
150 breaths per minute.
• The monitor may be counting
artifacts as valid breaths.
• The monitor may be counting
interference caused by faulty
equipment.
• Check the patient and treat, if necessary.
• Check the placement of electrodes. Change
their position, if necessary.
• Move the electrodes away from the source
of interference.
RESP Apnea
(neonatal or
pediatric mode
only)
No respiration has been
detected for <XX> seconds.
• Check the patient and treat, if necessary.
• Check the placement of electrodes. Change
their position, if necessary.
• Carry out a RESP relearn.
• Reset breath-detection sensitivity to manual
mode.
RESP
Coincidence
The patient’s heart rate and
respiration rate fall within 20% of
each other.
• Observe the patient and treat, if necessary.
• Check and change the electrode placement
if you receive a coincidence message until
you obtain a clear respiration signal.
RESP: Can’t
detect
coincidence
• The RESP coincidence feature
is enabled but there is
excessive ECG artifact.
• ECG leads maybe
disconnected.
• Calm the patient.
• Make sure the patient’s skin is properly
prepped.
• Isolate the patient from auxiliary equipment.
• Check the electrodes. Reapply gel or
change the electrode, if necessary.
• Inspect and replace defective cables and
wires.
• If a lead or electrode cannot be replaced,
select another lead for processing (from the
ECG menu).
RESP Signal
Saturated
RESP signal detected by
monitor has excessive baseline
shift.
• Check the patient cable and lead wires
carefully.
• Replace any cable or lead wire that is
suspect.
• Reapply gel or change the electrode.
• Check the M
ULTIMED pod and replace, if
necessary.
