2.1 INTRODUCTION
This chapter describes the initial setup and
configuration for the EtCO
2
Module.
2.2 NEW INSTRUMENT CHECKOUT
Refer to the EtCO
2
Module Directions for
Use (
DFU
) for instructions regarding
unpacking and setting up the instrument for
first time use.
When powering up the instrument, verify the
instrument beeps and all display
LED
segments flash. This confirms that the
instrument has performed its self test and is
operating correctly. During operation, the
instrument continually performs a self test,
and will alarm and display a message if it
detects an internal malfunction.
Contact Cardinal Health authorized service
personnel if the instrument has physical
damage, fails to satisfactorily pass the
startup sequence, fails a self test, or
continues to alarm.
For new instrument checkout, the minimum
checks (described in the Maintenance
Software User Manual) are:
•
Regular Inspection
• Functional Tests
Should an instrument be jarred severely or
dropped, remove it from use immediately. It
should be thoroughly tested and inspected by
qualified service personnel to ensure proper
function prior to reuse.
