Broken lines on the visual display of a Spacelabs 90217 typically indicate that no data was transferred. This may be due to incorrect switch settings or a loose modem or communications cable connection.
(FT1000A/FT2000A or equivalent), a PC Interface, a Base Station, or a Report Generator for data analysis, report printing, and archiving. The 90217 monitor is housed in a plastic case with a removable battery cover that provides access to its three AA cells. Inside the monitor are three printed circuit boards: the Main, Power, and Display boards.
(refer to the 90207, 90217 Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitors Operations Manual, P/N 070-0137-xx). Display The monitor display is a 4-digit LCD that presents the following information (refer to the 90217 Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitors, Operations Manual (P/N 070-0137-xx) for instructions on use).
Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitor 90217 Service Manual Time of Day A real-time clock provides the time of day, which appears between measurement cycles and can be programmed in either a 12- or 24-hour mode. Cuff Pressure This pressure can be shown while the monitor is taking a measurement. If cuff pressure is not selected, “----”...

Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitor 90217 Service Manual Office Check Mode This mode verifies monitor operation and allows a user to view cuff pressure and blood pressure results regardless of any previous disabling of the display. During Office Check Mode, the monitor bleeds an additional pressure step below diastole.
Operational Tests ........... . 7 Installing the Batteries Two types of batteries are used in the 90217 ABP Monitor: three standard AA batteries (Spacelabs Medical P/N 146-5011-xx) to power the cuff air pump, and one rechargeable lithium battery to backup the clock and RAM circuits when the AA batteries are removed or are exhausted.
Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitor 90217 Service Manual 4 After correctly inserting the batteries, gently slide the battery cover back into place. 5 Switch the monitor ON and verify that the display appears. If there is no display, switch the monitor OFF and refer to in this manual. When power is first switched ON, the first four digits of the RAM code revision are displayed for about 1 second, followed by a blanked display, followed by the last two digits of the revision number.

The watch dog timers ensure that the cuff cannot remain inflated because of a software crash. There are two watch dog timers in the Model 90217: one resides inside the processor; the other inside the real-time clock. Each counts 180 seconds before timing out. Both timers start at converter power up.
Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitor 90217 Service Manual Digital Circuitry Display Board Information is sent from the processor to the LCD controller via a serial bus (CBUS). The LCD controller activates the necessary segments to display information on the 4-segment LCD. Each of the segments can be controlled separately.
Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitor 90217 Service Manual Unit Power All power for the 90217 ABP Monitor comes from the main batteries (3 AA cells) and the rechargeable 3-volt lithium battery. Unregulated Power Supplies +VSW The switched battery voltage (+VSW) is provided by the main batteries via the unit power switch.
Page 25
Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitor 90217 Service Manual +5 VA Supply +5 VA is a secondary power source for the analog circuitry. It can be disconnected to reduce power consumption when the analog circuits are not being used by asserting the PWR_DWN line.
Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitor 90217 Service Manual Calibration Check To verify calibration of the 90217 ABP Monitor: 1 Obtain a full-size mercury sphygmomanometer (manometer) or aneroid gauge. 2 Disconnect the cuff hose from the monitor. 3 Connect the T-tube splitter to the monitor pneumatic connector and the sphygmomanometer.
6 Disconnect the T-tube splitter from the monitor. Disconnect the air hose and sphygmomanometer from the T-tube. Re-connect the cuff to the monitor. Calibration Procedures The following procedures allow field testing and calibration of the Model 90217 ABP Monitor. Equipment Required •...

5 Subtract the first leakage rate (system leakage) from the second leakage rate (90217 + system leakage). 6 Verify that the pressure drop due to 90217 leakage is <6 mmHg per minute, or <4 mmHg per 4 minutes for 90217-41 (Japan) and <4 mmHg per 2 minutes for 90217-32 units (German).
6 When the valve opens (pressure decreases rapidly), verify that the elapsed time is between 178 and 182 seconds (fault holdoff timer). 7 When the 90217 display changes from showing pressure to showing the software version, verify that the elapsed time falls between 194 and 198 seconds (watch dog timer).

Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitor 90217 Service Manual CuffLink Manual Operation The following steps outline the manual selection of simulated blood pressures and heart rates. These may be used to repeat a reading which was out of range or produced no reading.
To replace the manifold in the 90217 monitor: 1 Disassemble the 90217 ABP Monitor and remove the 672-0171-xx assembly. Separate the manifold from the rest of the assembly by cutting through the 176-0279-00 four-conductor flexstrip cable. Refer to Disassembly Procedures on page 4-15.
Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitor 90217 Service Manual Disassembly Procedures Caution Observe precautions for handling electrostatic-sensitive devices! Note: • Never touch electrostatic-sensitive electronic components without following proper antistatic procedures, including the use of an ESD wrist band and mat. An electrostatic discharge from your fingers can permanently damage electronic components.
Monitor Event Codes The 90217 ABP Monitor displays a two-digit event code whenever it is unable to successfully complete a blood pressure measurement. This event code appears as the last digits on the monitor display and is preceded by the letters EC (for example, in the displayed event code EC01, 01 is the event code).
