Troubleshooting the platform
Solid alert indicator
If the alert indicator is solid and the platform does not compress:
1. Check that the user control panel buttons are not accidentally pressed.
2. Check the battery charge status (Table 5.1 on page 2 3 ) on the User control panel (page 10). Replace the
battery if needed.
3. If no battery replacement is needed, turn the platform off and on.
4. If you are still unable to use the platform, immediately revert to manual CPR.
5. Ensure that the long and short sides of the band are correctly attached to each other. The platform may
fail to find the patient if the band opens during patient sizing.
6. Check for anything blocking the platform vents, which may cause overheating. Remove any blockage. Do
not turn off the platform. The platform internal fans cool the system after about two minutes.
7. Bring the system temperature within operating range, See “Operating the system” on page 36 .
8. Turn off the platform.
9. Turn on the platform.
10. If the issue persists, continue manual CPR.
1. Turn off the platform.
2. Make sure the band guards are in place.
3. Turn on the platform.
4.
Remove the band guards and pull the remaining band from the platform. See 'Removing the band" on
page 19

Support" (page
60 ). See Table 3.1, “User control panel,” on page 10 .
