3.2 Planned maintenance checks 
1. Visual inspection 
1. Switch the monitor to standby and disconnect all cables from the rear of the monitor. 
2. Check the external parts of the monitor. For example, check that the power cord receptacle is 
intact and the D-fend latch moves properly. 
3. Check that the markings of the mains fuses correspond to the fuse plate. 
 
2. Parts replacement 
1. Dissamble the frame (see section 7.3.1). 
2. Replace these items in the gas unit: occlusion...

2. Switch on the monitor and check that it starts up as described below: 
• Both alarm LEDs flash On and Off. 
• The start-up sound is heard from the speaker. 
• The normal monitoring screen appears and no error messages are displayed.

4. Check the capacity time of the backup battery: 
Disconnect the power cord (without switching the monitor to standby). 
Note the time and make sure that the monitor continues to run normally with the battery for at 
least 15 minutes. The battery indicator should appear on the screen: 
 
NOTE: You can continue the check while the monitor is powered by batteries. 
5. Configure the monitor screen according to the monitor configuration so that all parameter 
information is displayed....

6. Non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP) measurement test 
NOTE:  See the Service Menus chapter for illustrations of the service menus used for the NIBP test. 
1. Return to the Modules service menu and select NIBP to enter the NIBP service menu. Check that 
NIBP board memories passed the internal memory test (RAM, ROM, and EEPROM all state OK). 
2. From the NIBP service menu, select Calibrations to enter the Calibration service menu. Perform 
the Active Leak Test to...

8. Invasive blood pressure measurement test 
1. Check the InvBP channels with a patient simulator. The values and waveforms should correspond 
to the simulator settings.  
NOTE: If you evaluate the measurement accuracy, remember to add the simulator’s accuracy 
specification to the one of the monitor. 
2. Calibrate InvBP channels if necessary. 
 
9. Gas measurement test 
NOTE:  See the Service Menus chapter for illustrations of the service menus used for the gas 
measurement test....

11. Spirometry test 
1. Perform the spirometry leakage test and calibration (see section 7.4.9).  
2. With a sample line attached to the D-lite sensor, breathe through the wider side of the D-lite. 
Check that the flow waveform moves downward when you breathe in, and upward when you 
breathe out. 
 
12. Gas sampling line and D-fend check 
1. Block the tip of the sampling line with your finger and check that the “Sample line blocked” 
message is displayed on the...

Planned Maintenance 
16. Network test 
1. Check that the Mon-Net cable connector and the Identification plug are clean and intact, then 
connect them to the monitor. 
Check the connection to the network by checking the states of the Network connection LEDs 
between the connectors: 
Yellow --> should flash intermittently 
Green --> should be lit continuously 
2. Check that the monitor connects to the Datex-Ohmeda Network (that is, the network symbol 
 is displayed on the upper right corner of the...

17. Data card test 
1. Insert a memory card labeled Menu into the front-most memory card slot. Check that the 
“Menu card inserted” message appears in the message field. 
2. Insert a memory card labeled Data into the second slot. Check that the Data card inserted 
message appears in the message field. 
3. Check that some trend information is available in trend memory for monitored parameters. Erase 
the trends. Check that the trends are properly erased.
