Troubleshooting: Alarm Code Interpretation
Alarm Code Interpretation
If any other alarms appear that are not listed in the paragraphs that follow,
record the error message and report the failure to Customer Support. Refer to
the operation manual for information about patient alarms and general
procedural alarms.
System Failures
When a system failure is encountered, the error code is displayed on the screen
for five seconds and the system enters failsafe mode. The error code is logged in
the history log.
General system error codes are listed below. If any other SY or similar code
appears, report it to Customer Support.
Alarm Conditions and Error Codes
When responding to a monitor alarm, always CHECK THE PATIENT FIRST and
then check the Monitor, cuff, hose and sensors. Press SILENCE to reset patient
alarm conditions.
Error Log
You can view and print an error log that stores up to 40 error code entries. The
log is a “rolling” list that—once 40 entries are stored—deletes the oldest entry in
order to add the most recent entry. The error log is saved until the monitor
experiences a memory loss, then all entries are deleted.
NOTE:The error log feature is available in software revision RAI and
subsequent revisions. Refer to Section 3, “Configuration Mode Settings”
for information on how to determine the software revision of your
monitor.
Procedure to View and Print Error Code History Log:
1. Enter the Advanced Configuration Mode (ACF) by holding down the Minus
(-) and Menu buttons while powering up the monitor (pressing the On/Off
button).
2. The monitor briefly displays the software revision, then displays ACF in the
Systolic window.
3. The monitor is now in Advanced Configuration Mode
4. To view the error log use the History button to step through the log in
reverse order of when the error occurred (oldest appears first).
5. The Systolic window shows the Year the error occurred.
6. The Diastolic window shows the Day the error occurred.
7. The MAP window shows the Month the error occurred.
