N-180 Pulse Oximeter Service Manual
Interpreting Symptoms
A monitor that malfunctions typically displays clear symptoms. These symp-
toms are listed in applicable table columns labeled Symptom in troubleshoot-
ing charts in this section. Alternately, when the symptoms are complicated
and interrelated, a decision tree is used to simplify presenting the informa-
tion. Follow the symptom descriptions in a given tree and then accomplish the
applicable repair strategy as described in the accompanying table.
You may encounter a malfunction that has multiple causes. In such cases,
work from left to right in the decision tree, as usual. Correct the first problem
listed in the tree, then correct the next problem. Generally, the first problem
listed is the most common or the easiest to verify. If you experience a symp-
tom not listed in this section, please contact Nellcor Technical Service in
Hayward, California.
