correct up to date version is selected, open the
software installed and click the Search button. The
program will then automatically find and use the
latest version installed.
After selecting the target drive the installation pro-
gram will now automatically create the necessary
directories and copy all the required files to the hard
drive. The installation will automatically insert a new
group containing an entry for the new software in the
Programs folder of the Start Menu. In addition a
shortcut on your Windows desktop will be created.
After successful installation, remove the CD and
store it in a safe place.
5.2. Selecting a printer
The measurement curves and reports can be printed
on any commonly available type of printer (ink jet,
dot-matrix or laser printer) that is already installed on
your Windows system. The correct printer driver can
be selected using the Windows Control Panel
application.
5.3. Viewer Software "Sleep Xpert App"
During an online measurement, the measurement
curves can be displayed on a tablet (Windows or
IOS) optionally with the help of the software "Sleep
Xpert App". The tablet only serves to visualize the
measured curves. There are no data stored and no
findings or evaluation can be made.
6. Troubleshooting
Channels (e.g. pressure) are missing in the
display.
The channels are deactivated and therefore do not
appear during ”Test” and ”Record”.
Check which channels are active for recording using
the menu item
Options / Edit Channel sets.
Channels are missing after loading a measure-
ment.
They were not recorded or have been hidden for
measurement data display.
Flow signal is missing during recording or
follows the edge of the range.
The flow signal follows a straight flat line in the
middle of the channel.
Check the flow prong on the patient and the connec-
tion on the MiniScreen unit. When measuring during
PAP therapy, check the connection of the PAP
adapter hose on the oxygen mask and on the
MiniScreen unit.
Signal amplitudes are very small or do not
appear.
Check the corresponding sensors on the patient and
their connections to the MiniScreen unit. Whilst doing
so, check that the tube hoses and the black pressure
pads of the thorax sensors are intact. A leaking sen-
sor can cause inaccurate readings in the thorax
channel. The pressure pads should be attached to
the patient securely without over tightening the belt
and the tube hoses should be routed in such a way
that they cannot kink.
Check all cables and connectors on the MiniScreen
unit and the PC.
Pulse oximeters not responding.
The channels for oxygen saturation and pulse
frequency are registering 50% and 30 P/min respec-
tively despite the patient being connected.
First check that the finger sensor is seated correctly
on the patient and remove any nail polish that may
be present. A small red light should be present in the
sensor when the finger is inserted. If the light doesn't
switch on when the sensor is applied to the finger,
then you need to check the connection at the
MiniScreen unit and any intermediate extensions.
Printout not working.
The printer prints characters on the page but in no
apparent format.
The wrong printer or printer driver has been installed.
The printer is not responding to the print command.
Check the printer cable and the connections to the
printer and PC. The printer should be switched on
and operational, i.e. the control LED’s on the printer
should be lit.
Cannot establish connection to the MiniScreen
unit.
The USB cable is not connected correctly.
Check the connection of the USB cable to the
MiniScreen unit and the PC.
USB interface was deactivated
The
USB
interface
can
be
activated
in
the
MiniScreen device software. Select the "Options" tab
followed by menu "Device Settings"
.
Battery is discharged.
Charge the battery correctly.
For clarification and in case of problems during
the installation, maintenance or use, please refer
to your local distribution partner, or directly to
the manufacturer.
