STATUS M ESSAGES
VF8 DELTA/DELTA XL/KAPPA 14-21
<xx>
Calibrating
Mercury calibration is in progress. Complete the calibration before you begin
monitoring the patient.
<xx> Cal.
Accepted
Mercury calibration succeeded or
the user-entered calibration factor
was accepted.
No action is required.
<xx> Cal.
Failed - Not
Static
The mercury calibration failed
because the input pressure was
not static.
• Make sure the transducer is closed to
patient.
• Check for leaks.
• Keep all tubing motionless.
• Rezero the transducer.
• Refer to the calibration procedures (see
page 14-5).
• Loosen and retighten the transducer dome,
then rezero the transducer.
• Replace the transducer.
<xx> Cal.
Failed - Out of
Range
The mercury calibration failed
because the measured value was
too high or too low.
• Make sure the transducer is zeroed, then
retry. If the retry fails, replace the transducer.
• If calibration requires a factor outside this
range, replace the transducer.
<xx> Zero
before Cal.
During calibration, more than 5
minutes have elapsed since the
last successful zeroing of the
transducer.
Zero the transducer.
<xx> H/W
Failure
IBP channel hardware failure. • Check the hardware and replace it, if
necessary.
• Call the hospital’s technical personnel or
DrägerService.
Hemo Pod [n]
Disconnected
The hemo pod [1, 2, or 3] is not
connected to the monitor.
Check the cables and connections and
replace it, if necessary.
