10 Troubleshooting
Overview
The troubleshooting section consists of two parts which together should help you resolve the
most common monitoring problems. The parts are “Checklist” and “Messages”.
Checklist
Check the following things before monitoring to ensure that you have remembered to make all
essential preparations, and if any problems occur during monitoring. Parameter-specific
checklists can be found in the respective parameter sections.
Check that:
• The monitor and its modules do not have any visual defects such as cracks or loose parts.
• The batteries are inserted and charged.
• The power cord is connected to an electrical wall outlet and to the monitor.
• The modules are pushed properly into the frame and the monitor recognizes the module
(parameter is displayed on the screen and menu selections are active).
• Patient connection cables are attached to the module connectors.
• Trends of the previous patient are erased.
• Alarm limits are suitable for the patient.
• The desired measurements have been selected for screen through Monitor Setup –
Screen Setup - Waveform Fields or Digit Fields.
• Disposable accessories are not reused.
• Sensors are not expired.
Power interruption
NOTE: Always use the B30 with batteries inserted. Otherwise all trend data and
temporary settings are lost if the power cable is detached from the power supply.
If the monitor is turned off, trend data and the latest user-made settings remain in the monitor
memory for 15 minutes even if the power (mains or external DC) is interrupted. After 15
minutes, trend data is lost and the monitor returns to the user default settings (start-up mode).
