Alarm
Cause
Remedy
ECG cable off
• ECG cable disconnected
«
Connect the ECG cable.
ECG lead off
• Electrode lose/defective
«
Check and reapply/replace electrodes.
SpO
2
Low Perfusion
• Bad sensor positioning
«
Check the sensor and reapply.
SpO

Sensor off
• Sensor off
«
Check the contact between the sensor and the patient.
SpO

no sensor
• SpO
2
sensor failed or disconnect-
ed
«
Replace the sensor.
NIBP no module detect.
• NO NIBP module detected
«
Switch device Off/On or replace device.
NIBP error
• NIBP module failed
«
Replace the device.
NIBP no/off cuff
• No cuff connected or insufficiently
fitted.
• Pump is not running
• Pump is running
• Pressure offset above 10 mm/Hg
see page
«
Check the cuff position.
«
Pump is mechanical blocked (call service)
«
Pump not or wrong connected (call service)
«
Internal tubes off (call service)
«
Adjust the zero point of the NIBP module. Call service.
NIBP signal low
• Cuff not applied correctly
• Pulse too low for good measure-
ment
• Tube too long for neonates
«
Reposition/check the cuff.
«
Use a tube for neonates (max. 1.5 m).
NIBP pressure range
• Pressure min. 15 mm/Hg max.
310 mm/Hg below or above the
limit
«
Check cuff and connection.
NIBP time too long
• Pumping running time exceeded
(40 s for neonates, 60 s for adults)
«
Check cuff and connection for leaks
«
Pressure approx. 50 mmHg when pump is running check
valve
«
Internal tubings

No watertrap
• Watertrap not connected
• Microswitch defective
«
Check the watertrap.
«
Check the microswitch.

module failure
• CO
2
module defective
«
Replace the device.

Communication
• Communication interrupted
«
Replace the device.
CO
2
Environment dist.
• Temperature, or barometric pres-
sure of the CO
2
sensor outside
the range
• Pump damaged
• Air or vacuum source connected
to the CO
2
input
«
Check the environmental conditions. (call service)
«
Inspect the pump.
«
Inspect the connection.

Occlusion
• Tube system clogged
«
Check the tube system and watertrap for occlusion.
Temp. Sensor off
• Sensor removed.
«
Reconnect the sensor.
Temp. out of range
• Temperature out of range of 15
°C to 45 °C.
«
This limit is fixed. The display shows
“<<“
(15 below °C)
or
“>>”
(above 45 °C).
Temp. failed
• Sensor failed
«
Replace the sensor.
IBP no sensor
• IBP sensor failed
«
Replace the sensor.
IBP not calibrated
• Zero point sensor too high/low
pressure higher then
±
30 mmHg
or pressure variations.
«
Check tube system, sensor and ventil
«
Calibrate the sensor.
