The pressure value is outside the
alarm limits.
• Check the patient and treat, if necessary.
• Access the Alarm Limits menu and change
the alarm limits.
• Check the equipment and replace it, if
necessary.
<xx> Out of
Range (High)
<xx> Out of
Range (Low)
The pressure signal is out of the
measurement range.
• Check the patient and treat, if necessary.
• Access the Pressure Labels menu and
assign the correct label.
• Check the equipment and replace it, if
necessary.
<xx> Please
Check Zero
The IBP zero value stored in the
monitor may not correspond to
the peripheral device.
Zero the transducer.
<xx> Static
Pressure
Static pressure was detected on a
pulsatile signal, owing to one of
the following conditions:
• A physiological condition, for
example, asystole.
• The transducer was turned off to
the patient.
• A catheter tip lodged against a
vessel wall.
• A clot on the catheter tip.
• Check the patient and treat,if necessary.
• Open the system to the patient by turning the
stopcock.
• Follow hospital procedures for dislodging
catheters.
• Follow hospital procedures for clotted
catheters.
<xx>
Unplugged
The pressure transducer for the
specified parameter is either
unplugged or defective.
• Active pressure: reconnect or replace the
cable.
• Inactive pressure: turn off alarms.
<xx> Zero
Required
The pressure transducer for the
specified parameter requires
zeroing.
Zero the transducer.
<xx> Zero
Accepted
The zeroing of the transducer was
successful
No action is required.
<xx> Did Not
Zero
The zeroing of the transducer
failed because of one of the
following conditions:
• Excessive signal noise
• A non-static waveform
• Keep all tubing motionless, then rezero.
• Change the transducer.
• Check the stopcock, then rezero.
<xx> Did Not
Zero - Offset
Error
The zeroing of the transducer
failed because static pressure
was too high or too low.
• Rezero the transducer.
• Loosen and retighten the transducer dome,
then rezero the transducer.
• Replace the transducer.
