Operation Manual
Description
Possible Cause
Action
Faulty pneumatic cable.
Replace pneumatic cable.
4.
Noisy signal
Something is in contact with the
probes or the tubes
Make sure the probes are not touched by other
fingers, that they are not rested on any surface
and that the tube between the probe and foam
anchor is not rested on the back of the hand.
If the probe is in touch with the foam anchor
on the adjacent finger you should either
remove the foam anchor and trim its side on
the diagonal, so it will not touch the probe or
alternatively, place the foam anchor on the
little finger and place a thin piece of rolled
gauze as a separator between the test finger and
the adjacent finger, securing it in place with
some medical tape.
5.
The probes do not deflate
automatically after
pressing stop
Either you neglected to press
“Go” (and thus still in the Stand
By mode); or there is a
software-hardware
communication error
Deflate manually by pressing the deflate button
on the EndoPAT
TM
x device.
If you were in Stand By mode (= did not press
“Go”) you should retest the patient. It is
recommended to wait for an hour and switch
the test arm before retesting.
If you pressed “Go” make sure the study was
recorded properly by opening it for analysis.
6.
Very long inflate
followed by Major Leak
message
Multiple deflates before inflate
Verify proper connection of both tubes and
probes.
Deflate once from the software interface or
using the button on top of the device then
inflate
