change in patient's condition.
Sample gas outlet is blocked.

detached from the patient.
Cuff is not attached to the patient or it
is too loose. The hose is not connected
to the module.
Tubes or hose are kinked.
Cuff is squeezed during measurement

exceeded.
Leads have been disconnected for 15

board, or failure in CPU software
memory.
The ECG cable is defective.
The ECG cable may be electrically
damaged or the connectors are wet.
There are two identical modules
measuring the same parameter.
Adult or child cuff is used but infant
inflation mode is selected.
One or both InvBP channels have not
been zeroed.
What to do
•
Check the patient status.
•
Check the measurement setup.
•
Check the cuff.
•
Remove blockage from the sample
gas outlet.
•
Check the sensor and connections.
2
•
Check cuff and hose.
•
Check tubes and hose.
•
Check cuff, hose and tubes.
•
Restart measurement.
•
Reconnect the leads or wait to
continue the measurement.
•
Call service to replace CPU.
•
Change the ECG cable and the lead
set.
•
Change the ECG module if the
module connector is wet. Keep the
connectors dry.
•
Avoid excessive use of liquids when
cleaning cables and connectors.
•
Reconnect the N-FREC or N-FCREC
module if you want to restart the
CO measurement.

•
You are trying to use two or more
E-PSM(P)W modules or two or more
N-Fx modules at the same time.
You can only use one E-PSM(P)W
and/or one N-Fx module at a time.
Remove extra modules.
•
Check cuff and inflation limits.
•
Zero the channel indicated or zero
both channels.
