What to do if 'Err xxx' appears on the display of ConMed SYSTEM 5000 Medical Equipment?
If an Err code appears on the display of your ConMed Medical Equipment, try cycling the power. If the error reappears, the unit should be taken out of service until a qualified biomedical engineer can diagnose the problem.
What to do if Single and Dual Dispersive Electrode Status / Alarm Indicators flash alternating red on ConMed Medical Equipment?
If the Single and Dual Dispersive Electrode Status / Alarm Indicators are flashing alternating red on your ConMed Medical Equipment, it could mean that a Dispersive Electrode is not connected to the system, a Dual Dispersive Electrode is connected but not properly applied to the patient, or a Dispersive Electrode is connected to the System but not properly seated. Ensure the connector is fully seated in the Two-Pin Dispersive Electrode Receptacle.
How to fix a blank display panel on ConMed Medical Equipment when powered on?
If the display panel is blank when your ConMed Medical Equipment system is powered on, verify the power cord is fully seated in the power receptacle on the back of the system. With the power cord disconnected, verify fuses are good and are installed properly in the receptacles on the back panel of the generator. Remove the top cover and verify that the controller board and all harnesses are properly seated. Check the Low Voltage Power Supply for +5V and +15V.
Why does my ConMed SYSTEM 5000 Medical Equipment have no output power?
If your ConMed Medical Equipment has no output power, it could be due to one or more bad connections inside the system, low voltage power supplied to A6 being bad, a shorted RF Amplifier power MOSFET, HVPS output being too low, or improper gate drive.
Why is the monopolar output incorrect on my ConMed SYSTEM 5000 Medical Equipment?
If you are experiencing incorrect monopolar output with your ConMed Medical Equipment, it could be due to bad calibration. Recalibrate and ensure the load resistor is correct when checking output power. Another cause could be bad voltage or current feedback.
Why is the bipolar output incorrect on my ConMed SYSTEM 5000 Medical Equipment?
If you are experiencing incorrect bipolar output with your ConMed Medical Equipment, it could be due to bad calibration. Recalibrate and ensure the load resistor is correct when checking output power. Another possible cause is bad voltage or current feedback.
What does 'A[[ xxx' on ConMed Medical Equipment display mean?
The 'A[[ xxx' error on your ConMed Medical Equipment display indicates an accessory error. This could be due to a faulty accessory being connected, a hand-controlled accessory being erroneously actuated, or a footswitch being erroneously actuated. Ensure that footswitches are not stacked on top of one another.
What does 'A[[ [P xx' on ConMed SYSTEM 5000 Medical Equipment display mean?
The 'A[[ [P xx' error on your ConMed Medical Equipment display indicates a control panel error. Check for a faulty push button on the front control panel, a control panel push button that has been pushed while the unit is being turned on, or a faulty cable connection between the front panel and the display board.
What do flashing decimal points on ConMed SYSTEM 5000 display mean?
Flashing decimal points on the display of your ConMed Medical Equipment indicate that the system is in Test Mode.
