Troubleshooting: Data Acquisition Tests
1. Set the patient simulator BP output to 200 mmHg (240 mmHG
MarqII or MarqIII), static pressure.
2. Verify the BP channel is working correctly if systolic, diastolic, and
mean pressure values for BP are displaying parameter readings
between 194 and 206 mmHg.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for each enabled BP channel.
1. If the BP waveforms displayed on the monitor appear noisy or
distorted (example shown on the left), test the Patient simulator and
simulator test cables and on a working monitor to determine the
source of the problem.
2. If the static pressure test results were inaccurate, test the Patient
simulator and simulator test cables and on a working monitor to
determine the source of the problem.
3. If the patient simulator and associated test cables are determined to
be functioning correctly, replace the DAS FRU. See Chapter 8,
Replaceable Units and Upgrades"
1. If the BP parameter labels, readings and associated waveforms do
not display on the monitor, verify the patient simulator and
associated test cables on a working monitor.
2. Inspect the BP side panel connectors on the monitor for bent or
broken pins. If any pins are bent or broken, replace the DAS
assembly.
3. Inspect the dual BP cable connectors on the monitor for bent or
broken pins. If any pins are bent or broken, replace the DAS
assembly.
