If the NIBP (Non-Invasive Blood Pressure) measurements are not working or the values displayed on your Datex-Ohmeda Medical Equipment are unreliable, ensure that the cuff tubings are not bent, stretched, compressed, or loose. Prevent motion artifacts during measurement. Also, verify that you are using cuffs of the correct size.
What to do if SpO2 signal is poor on Datex-Ohmeda Medical Equipment?
If you're experiencing a poor SpO2 signal on your Datex-Ohmeda Medical Equipment, verify that the patient is not shivering. Check the sensor placement to ensure it is correctly positioned. Be aware that skin pigment can cause differences in readings. If using standard pulse oximetry, try changing the averaging time from slow to normal.
Why Datex-Ohmeda Medical Equipment ECG signal is noisy, or no QRS is detected?
If the ECG signal on your Datex-Ohmeda Medical Equipment is noisy, or if no QRS complex is detected, ensure that the patient is not shivering. Select the correct filter by pressing ECG and selecting ECG Setup and Filter. Check electrode quality and positioning, avoiding placement over body hair, bones close to skin, layers of fat and major muscles; pre-gelled electrodes are recommended. You may also need to change the lead or enlarge the size from 1.0 mV to 2.0 mV.
What to do if Invasive blood pressure readings are unreliable on Datex-Ohmeda Medical Equipment?
If you find the invasive blood pressure readings unreliable on your Datex-Ohmeda Medical Equipment, ensure that there are no air bubbles in the transducer system. Flush and zero the system. Also, place the transducer on the patient’s mid-heart level, and zero it.
Why Datex-Ohmeda Medical Equipment respiration measurement fails?
If respiration measurement fails on your Datex-Ohmeda Medical Equipment, check the electrode quality and positioning. Adjust the detection limits. During ventilator-supported breathing, the respiration calculation may count only ventilator-produced inspirations and expirations. Other electrical devices may interfere with the measurement.
How to troubleshoot Datex-Ohmeda Medical Equipment when patient spirometry values are unreliable?
If the patient spirometry values are unreliable on your Datex-Ohmeda Medical Equipment, check that the selected Sensor Type corresponds to the sensor attached to the patient. Remove D-lite and shake drops away. Check that connectors on D-lite are intact and all connections are tight.
What to do if Datex-Ohmeda Medical Equipment temperature measuring fails?
If the temperature measurement fails on your Datex-Ohmeda Medical Equipment, first check that you are using the correct kind of probe. If the problem persists, try using another probe.
Why Datex-Ohmeda Medical Equipment airway gas values are too low?
If the airway gas values are too low on your Datex-Ohmeda Medical Equipment, check the sampling line and other connectors for any leakage. Also, make sure the scavenging vacuum is not too strong.
How to fix Datex-Ohmeda Medical Equipment when NMT values are unreliable?
If the NMT (Neuromuscular Transmission) values are unreliable on your Datex-Ohmeda Medical Equipment, clean the application site of oil and dirt. Check that electrodes are positioned correctly, electrode gel is moist, and skin contact is good. Avoid placement over lesions or excessive body hair.
What to do if the Datex-Ohmeda Medical Equipment monitor does not start?
If your Datex-Ohmeda Medical Equipment monitor does not start, connect the power cord to the power supply, as the monitor will not start on battery power. Also, check the fuses and replace them if necessary.
