Why is the irradiance too low on my Dräger Medical Equipment?
- S

  Low irradiance in Dräger Medical Equipment can occur for several reasons: * The light may be too far from the patient; adjust the height of the light. * The irradiance setting may be too low; increase the irradiance setting. * The LEDs may be at the end of their useful life; replace the LED panel. * There might be a radiometer reading error; correct the sensor position and retry the reading.

  If the message ERR appears on the radiometer screen of your Dräger device, it indicates that the value is out of range. Try positioning the radiometer closer to the patient and attempt the reading again. This message can also appear if the radiometer is too close to the LEDs, so attempt the reading again. If the message persists, it could indicate a faulty radiometer.
