Service and repair of the SDN system components is to be performed by
authorized service personnel only.
SDN Troubleshooting Overview
This section describes a logical approach for service personnel to diagnose
and identify the source of an SDN system problem and to isolate the
problem to the instrument/cable level for service and/or repair. The
troubleshooting procedures are presented simply and logically, and should
be followed in the sequence indicated.
The following troubleshooting procedures are written to minimize
disturbance to system patient monitoring and to avoid (and to determine
the need for) bringing down the entire SDN communications system.
When troubleshooting a new SDN system installation (not a patient
connected SDN system), it may be more expedient to power down the ACC
in order to checkout the cables and swap the Control/Driver PC board in
the ACC. Discretion must be applied according to the constraints of the
situation.
The content of this text presumes that the service person is familiar with
