Why Cue™ Needle Tracking System is not activated when the needle tray is placed on the Activator of Bard Site-Rite 8?
If the Cue™ Needle Tracking System is not activated when the needle tray is placed on the Activator with your Bard Medical Equipment: 1. Check the connection at both ends of the cable into the Activator and the console. 2. Verify the Activator icon is illuminated. 3. Re-activate the needle. If the needle tray is incorrectly placed on the Activator you must review the Activation section.
Why needle tracking virtual needle image has erratic behavior on Bard Medical Equipment?
If the needle tracking virtual needle image has erratic behavior on your Bard Medical Equipment, it is likely due to magnetic field interference. To address this: 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 the 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.
How to align and maintain the Intersection Window on the target structure of Bard Site-Rite 8 Medical Equipment?
If you're having difficulty aligning and maintaining the Intersection Window on the target structure with your Bard Medical Equipment: 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. If 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 the problem persists, activate a new needle.
Why does the needle overlay disappears during insertion on Bard Site-Rite 8?
If the needle overlay disappears during insertion (drop out) on your Bard Medical Equipment, it's likely because the Performance Indicator is too low. To resolve this: 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 the 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.
What to do for Error Code EC:401-402 on Bard Site-Rite 8 Medical Equipment?
Error Code EC:401-402 on your Bard Medical Equipment is likely caused by interference from a magnetic field. This could be due to: 1. Probe movement during or after calibration. 2. The Pinpoint™ GT Safety Introducer Needle being too close (less than 2 feet/61cm) during calibration. 3. Moving the needle close to the probe during calibration. 4. Interference from nearby electro-mechanical or ferrous/magnetic articles. To resolve this: 1. Move all metal objects, including the needle, at least 2 feet (61cm) away from the probe. 2. Lower bed rails. 3. Move active electronic devices at least 5 feet (1.5m) away. 4. Keep the probe stationary and ask the patient to remain still. 5. Re-calibrate.
What to do for Error Code EC:403 on Bard Site-Rite 8?
If you encounter Error Code EC:403 on your Bard Medical Equipment, which indicates a Pinpoint™ GT Needle Technology Probe malfunction, turn off and restart the system.
