Troubleshooting and Maintenance
Troubleshooting and maintenance should be performed only by qualified personnel, using the applicable
technical service manual and system maintenance software. Do not perform troubleshooting, service, or
maintenance while the system is in use with a patient.
The service manuals and system maintenance are available from CareFus
ion. The service manuals include
routine service schedules, interconnect diagrams, component parts lists and descriptions, test procedures,
and other technical information to assist qualified service personnel in repair and maintenance of the
instrument’s repairable components. System maintenance is used to perform a new instrument check-in,
preventive maintenance tests, calibration checks, calibration, and other maintenance functions.
Artifacts: It is normal for an infusion device to produce nonhazardous currents wh
en infusing electrolytes.
These currents vary proportional to the infusion device flowrate. When an ECG monitoring system is not
functioni
ng under optimal conditions, these currents might appear as artifacts, simulating actual ECG
readings.
To determine if ECG abnormalities are caused by patient condition or the ECG equipment, place
the infu
sion device on hold. If the ECG readings become normal, the ECG equipment requires attention.
Proper setup of the ECG equipment should eliminate these
artifacts. Refer to the appropriate ECG
monitoring
system documentation for instructions on setup and maintenance.
