Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Inspection of equipment
You should perform a visual inspection before every use, and in accordance with your hospital’s
policy. With the monitor switched off:
⚫
Examine unit exteriors for cleanliness and general physical condition. Make sure that the
housings are not cracked or broken, that everything is present, that there are no spilled
liquids and that there are no signs of abuse.
⚫
If the EtCO2 and Multi-gas module are mounted on the monitor, make sure that they are
locked into place and do not slide out without releasing the locking mechanism.
⚫
Inspect all accessories (cables, transducers, sensors and so forth). If any show signs of
damage, do not use.
Switch the monitor on and make sure the backlight is bright enough. Check that screen is at its full
brightness. If the brightness is not adequate, contact your service personnel or your supplier
Warning
Use of this equipment adjacent to or stacked with other equipment should be
avoided because it could result in improper operation. If such use is necessary,
this equipment and the other equipment should be observed to verify that
they are operating normally
Inspection of cables
⚫
Examine all system cables, the power plug for damage. Make sure that the prongs of the
plug do not move in the adaptor. If damaged, replace it with an appropriate Bionet power
cord and adaptor.
