Operational Checkout Of The Jaundice Meter - Dräger JM-103 Instructions Manual

Operational Checkout of the Jaundice Meter

Do not touch the surface of the checker (located in the charging base)
with your fingers. If the checker gets dirty, wipe it with a soft cloth
dampened with alcohol, and then wipe it with a dry cloth. Although the
JM-103 device can be damaged as stated on pages 3-1 and 3-4, we
recommend the unit always be verified to be operating properly by
following the steps as stated in sections 4 and 5. Always remove the unit
from service if there are concerns regarding the unit's performance, and
immediately contact your Dräger Medical representative.
For quality control purposes, periodically compare the JM-103 to serum
bilirubin results. This checks that the instrument maintains consistent
performance over time and that the operators are using the instrument
properly.
Using the checker supplied with the charger unit, check the instrument
to verify that the meter light output is within range for both long and
short wavelengths of light. The labeling on the inside cover of the
checker will state the acceptance ranges for both long and short
wavelengths. The procedure to verify is as follows:
1. Hold the Reset button down, and set
the Power switch to the On position.
NOTE:
If the Reset button is held down for longer
than 15 seconds, the unit of measurement
switches.
2. After CHE appears on the display
window, immediately release the
Reset button. If the Reset button is
held down for longer than 15 seconds,
switch the unit of measurement back to
its previous setting (see "Selecting the
Unit of Measurement" on page 4-3).
3. Visually confirm that CHE appears in
the display and that the Ready lamp
illuminates.
