What to do if the Bard Sherlock 3CG Tip Confirmation System says 'Sensor Disconnected'?
If the Bard Medical Equipment indicates that the sensor is disconnected, ensure the sensor is properly connected. Disconnect and reconnect the sensor. If the display power supply is connected to a noisy electrical outlet, disconnect it to run the system on battery power. If the sensor still cannot be detected, call the technical support hotline.
Why is there an absent ECG signal on my Bard Sherlock 3CG Tip Confirmation System Medical Equipment?
If you have an absent ECG signal on your Bard Medical Equipment, call the technical hotline to replace the sensor and/or cables if they are damaged. Also, ensure the sensor is properly connected. If the sensor is not communicating with the display, try rebooting the display.
