How to fix sensor, cable, or connectivity errors on Baxter Medical Equipment?
- J
  John HarperAug 15, 2025
  If you're getting a sensor, cable, or connectivity error on your Baxter Medical Equipment, here’s what to do: * Make sure the Starling Sensors are properly attached to the patient. * Check that the sensor leads are correctly connected to the Starling Patient Cable. * Verify the Starling Patient Cable is securely connected to the patient cable socket on the side of the Monitor. If the problem continues, stop the monitoring session and try replacing any sensors that aren't optimally attached. Start a new monitoring session. If it still doesn't work, replace the Starling Patient Cable, if you have one available. If the issue persists even after these steps, try connecting to another Starling Monitor. If that's not possible, contact Baxter Service Center.

Why is Baxter Medical Equipment unable to perform Dynamic Assessment due to poor signal quality?
- N
  Nicholas VaughnAug 22, 2025
  If you're unable to perform a Dynamic Assessment on your Baxter Medical Equipment due to poor signal quality, it could be due to improperly connected Starling Sensors or Patient Cable, or patient movement during the measurement. To resolve this: 1. Ensure Starling Sensors are properly attached to the patient’s body. 2. Remind the patient to remain still during the test. 3. Tap 'Restart' to begin the test again.

How to fix 'Phase Calibration Error' on baxter Starling?
- C
  Charles GonzalesAug 25, 2025
  If your Baxter Medical Equipment shows a 'Phase Calibration Error' and is unable to calibrate, it means the Starling Sensors may not be correctly applied, may have detached from the patient, or the Starling Patient Cable is disconnected. To fix this: 1. Replace the Starling Sensors if you suspect they aren't optimally applied. 2. Check that the Starling Patient Cable is securely connected to the Starling Monitor.

Why are channels not displaying correctly on baxter Starling?
- C
  Carolyn EllisAug 27, 2025
  If one or more channels aren't displaying correctly on your Baxter Medical Equipment, it might be due to Starling Sensors not being properly connected, or patient movement during measurement. Check the Starling Patient Cable at both ends for loose connections. Make sure it's properly connected to the Starling Sensor leads and the Starling Monitor.

What to do if Baxter Medical Equipment baseline shows unstable results?
- K
  Karen HillAug 30, 2025
  If your Baxter Medical Equipment's baseline shows unstable results, it could be because the patient is hemodynamically unstable, being stimulated or moved, or there's slight signal interference. You can: * Tap 'Restart' to restart the Baseline measurement. * Tap 'Cancel' to abort the Test. * Tap 'Next' to continue the Dynamic Assessment Test anyway.

Why is the display not visible on my baxter Starling Medical Equipment?
- L
  Linda NortonSep 2, 2025
  If the display on your Baxter Medical Equipment is not visible and you can't read clinical data (like Cardiac Output CO levels), it might be due to irregularities or interference in the electrical power supply. Try these steps: 1. Disconnect the Monitor from the mains power outlet to see if the interference stops. 2. Make sure you're using the AC power cable that came with the Starling Monitor. If not, disconnect the current cable and connect the correct one. 3. If the problem continues, try a different mains power outlet. 4. If it still persists, connect the Ground Cable between the equipotential connector on the Monitor's rear panel and the Ground connector on the wall.

What to do if Baxter Medical Equipment screen remains black after starting?
- T
  Troy CastanedaSep 5, 2025
  If the screen on your Baxter Medical Equipment remains black after starting the system, it could be due to a discharged or damaged battery, or a blown fuse. Here’s how to troubleshoot: 1. Connect the Starling Monitor to a mains power wall outlet to recharge the batteries. Then, try the System Startup procedure again. 2. If the problem persists: * Disconnect the Monitor from the mains power. * Open the fuse compartment and check the fuses. Replace any blown fuse. * Reconnect the Monitor to the mains power and try the System Startup procedure again.

Why does baxter Starling Medical Equipment say 'Battery Low, Please Connect to Main Power Supply'?
- J
  james16Sep 9, 2025
  If your Baxter Medical Equipment displays a 'Battery Low' message, and prompts you to connect to the main power supply, it means the battery is low (under 10% capacity), likely because the device hasn't been charged for a while. Connect the Starling Monitor to a mains power wall outlet as soon as possible to recharge the batteries.

What to do if the buzzer fails during monitoring on baxter Starling Medical Equipment?
- A
  Albert AcostaSep 12, 2025
  If the buzzer fails during monitoring on your Baxter Medical Equipment, it could be because the buzzer is turned off or malfunctioning. Here's what to check: * If the buzzer is turned off: Go to the Main Menu, then Session Controls & Settings, and turn the Audible Alert setting to 'On'. * If the buzzer is malfunctioning: Contact Baxter Service Center.
