What should I do if my Edwards HemoSphere displays a 'Fault: Module Slot 1 – Communication Error'?
If the Edwards Monitor displays 'Fault: Module Slot 1 – Communication Error', first, reinsert the module. If that doesn't work, check the connection points on the slot or module for bent or broken pins. You can also try switching to module slot 2. If the problem persists, contact Edwards Technical Support.
What to do if the Edwards Monitor displays a 'System Temperature Too High' alert?
To address a 'System Temperature Too High' alert on your Edwards Monitor, first, reposition the monitor away from any heat sources. Next, make sure the monitor's ventilation openings are unobstructed and free of dust. If the problem persists, contact Edwards Technical Support.
What to do if the Edwards HemoSphere Monitor displays a 'Battery Depleted' fault?
If your Edwards Monitor displays 'Battery Depleted', connect it to an alternate power source immediately. This will prevent power loss and allow you to continue monitoring.
What to do if the Edwards Monitor shows an 'Internal System Failure' fault?
If the Edwards Monitor displays an 'Internal System Failure' fault, try power cycling the system. If the problem persists, contact Edwards Technical Support.
What does it mean if the Edwards HemoSphere displays an 'Alert: Low Battery'?
If the Edwards Monitor displays an 'Alert: Low Battery', connect it to an alternate power source to avoid loss of power and continue monitoring, as the battery has less than 20% charge remaining or will be depleted within 8 minutes.
What does 'Battery Needs Conditioning' mean on my Edwards Monitor, and how do I fix it?
If the Edwards Monitor displays 'Battery Needs Conditioning', connect the monitor to an electrical outlet to fully charge the battery. Allow the battery to rest in fully charged state for at least two hours. Disconnect the monitor from electrical outlet and continue to run the system on battery power. The HemoSphere advanced monitor will power down automatically when the battery is fully depleted. Allow the battery to rest in fully depleted state for five hours or more. Connect monitor to an electrical outlet to fully charge battery. If the message persists, replace the battery pack.
How to fix 'Fault: Second Oximetry Cable Detected' on Edwards HemoSphere Monitor?
To fix the 'Fault: Second Oximetry Cable Detected' error on your Edwards Monitor, disconnect one of the oximetry cables.
What should I do if my Edwards Monitor says 'Fault: Oximetry Cable Disconnected'?
If your Edwards Monitor displays 'Fault: Oximetry Cable Disconnected', verify the oximetry cable/catheter connection is secure. Also, check the oximetry cable connector for bent or missing pins.
What to do if the Edwards HemoSphere Monitor shows 'Fault: Cable Port 2 – Hardware Failure'?
If you see a 'Fault: Cable Port 2 – Hardware Failure' message on your Edwards Monitor, try re-inserting the cable. Check for bent or broken pins on the cable or port. As an alternative, try switching to cable port 1. If the problem continues, contact Edwards Technical Support.
What to do if the Edwards Monitor shows 'Fault: Module Slot 2 – Hardware Failure'?
If you see a 'Fault: Module Slot 2 – Hardware Failure' message on your Edwards Monitor, try reinserting the module. Check for bent or broken pins on the slot or module. As an alternative, try switching to module slot 1. If the problem continues, contact Edwards Technical Support.
