Technical Alarm Messages (INOPs)
5 Troubleshooting the Gas Analyzer
77
GM COMPONENT MALF
Numerics shown with -?-
A gas analyzer component is in malfunction. Some parameters may be
unavailable or measured with reduced accuracy. Switch the gas analyzer
off and then on again. If the INOP persists follow the troubleshooting
procedure described in this chapter.
AGENT CALCULATING
The gas analyzer is calculating the agent concentration. Wait until
calculation is finished.
<AGT> CHANGE SCALE
The wave of the agent shown is clipped (DES/ENF/HAL/SEV/ISO).
Select a more appropriate wave scale to display the whole wave.
AGT MEAS MALFUNCTION
Numerics replaced by -?-, INOP tone
There is a problem with the agent measurement. Switch the gas analyzer
off and then on again. If this INOP persists, follow the troubleshooting
procedure described in this chapter.
AGENT MIXTURE
Numerics shown with ? or replaced by -?-,
M1019A IntelliVue G5 may also show two
valid numerics
The Gas Analyzer has detected more than one agent in the gas sample.
Agent measurement accuracy may be reduced when using the M1019A
IntelliVue G5.
<AGT> UNABLE TO MEAS
Numerics replaced by -?-, INOP tone
The Gas Analyzer currently cannot measure the agent shown (DES/
ENF/HAL/SEV/ISO). If this INOP persists, follow the troubleshooting
procedure described in this chapter.
<AGT> OVERRANGE
Numerics replaced by -?-, INOP tone
The <AGT> value is higher than the measurement range. If you suspect
a false high value, follow the troubleshooting procedure described in this
chapter.
AWRR OVERRANGE
Numerics shown with -?-, INOP tone
The measured respiration rate is higher than the maximum measurable
range.
CO
2
CHANGE SCALE
The CO
2
wave is clipped. Select a more appropriate wave scale to
display the whole wave.
CO
2
OVERRANGE
Numerics replaced by -?-, INOP tone
The CO
2
value is higher than the measurement range. If you suspect a
false high value, follow the troubleshooting procedure described in this
chapter.
CO
2
UNABLE TO MEAS
Numeric is replaced by -?-, INOP tone
The Gas Analyzer currently cannot measure CO
2
. If this INOP persists,
follow the troubleshooting procedure described in this chapter.
MAC CHECK SOURCES
INOP tone may appear
Either not all measurements or values required to perform the
calculation are available or some of the required values are questionable.
Check the measurement sources and make sure they are all switched on
and that none of them are invalid or questionable.
MAC CORRECTION?
Enhanced MAC correction is on, but values for patient age and/or
temperature are not available. Please enter these values.
N
2
O CHANGE SCALE
The N
2
O wave is clipped. Select a more appropriate wave scale to
display the whole wave.
N
2
O OVERRANGE
Numerics replaced by -?-, INOP tone
The N
2
O value is higher than the measurement range. If you suspect a
false high value, follow the troubleshooting procedure described in this
chapter.
N
2
O UNABLE TO MEAS.
Numerics replaced by -?-, INOP tone
The Gas Analyzer currently cannot measure N
2
O. If this INOP persists,
follow the troubleshooting procedure described in this chapter.
