Needle tracking virtual needle
image has erratic behavior
Likely Cause: Magnetic Field
Interference
If the Performance Indicator is low, perform the following steps:
1. Hold the probe still.
2. If the Performance Indicator decreases during needle approach,
withdraw the needle and slowly re-approach.
3. Remove metal, magnetic, and electronic objects in close proximity to the
probe (bed rails, jewelry, mobile phone, pumps, bed/table frames, Cue™
Activator, etc.).
4. If problem persists, hold the probe stationary in the air away from all
metal, magnetic, and electronic devices.
If the Performance Indicator improves, review previous troubleshooting tips.
If the performance Indicator remains low, calibration may be required. This
should be uncommon (see Section 11.2.1).
Note: If error persists, call Customer Service at: 1-800-545-0890. An alternate
number may be available in the System Information Tab (see Section 11.5).
Difficulty aligning and
maintaining the Intersection
Window on the target structure
Likely cause: Excessive
movement of probe and/or
needle
1. Anchor the probe in a stationary and upright position.
2. Stabilize the hand holding the needle.
Only modify the position of the needle to change the location of the Intersection
Window.
Likely cause: Needle detection
reset is required
1. If prior to insertion, withdraw the needle and slowly re-approach.
2. If after needle insertion, withdraw the probe away from the needle and
slowly re-approach.
3. If problem persists, activate a new needle.
Drop out – the needle
overlay disappears during
insertion
Likely cause: Performance
Indicator too low
If the Performance Indicator is low, perform the following steps:
1. Hold the probe still
2. If the Performance Indicator decreases during needle approach,
withdraw the needle and slowly re-approach.
3. Remove metal, magnetic, and electronic objects in close proximity to the
probe (bed rails, jewelry, mobile phone, pumps, bed/table frames, Cue™
Activator, etc.).
4. If problem persists, hold the probe stationary in the air away from all
metal, magnetic, and electronic devices.
