What does 'Replace Battery A Replace Battery B' mean on GE HEALTHCARE Medical Equipment?
If the GE HEALTHCARE Medical Equipment displays 'Replace Battery A Replace Battery B', it means there is hardly any charge left in one of the batteries, so replace the battery as soon as possible.
What to do if GE HEALTHCARE B40 Medical Equipment displays 'Battery empty, Battery low'?
If the GE HEALTHCARE Medical Equipment displays 'Battery empty, Battery low', replace the battery or connect the monitor to a power outlet.
What to do if GE HEALTHCARE Medical Equipment displays 'Check D-fend'?
If GE HEALTHCARE Medical Equipment displays 'Check D-fend', it may be because the water trap is not attached. Check that the water trap is properly attached to the module.
What to do if GE HEALTHCARE Medical Equipment displays 'Incompatible SpO2 Probe'?
If the GE HEALTHCARE Medical Equipment displays 'Incompatible SpO2 Probe', it means the SpO2 sensor is not compatible. Replace the sensor.
How to resolve 'Entropy sensor off' on GE HEALTHCARE Medical Equipment?
If GE HEALTHCARE Medical Equipment displays 'Entropy sensor off', it means the Entropy sensor is connected to the cable but not attached to the patient. Check that the sensor is properly attached to the patient.
How to resolve 'Entropy cable off' on GE HEALTHCARE B40?
If GE HEALTHCARE Medical Equipment displays 'Entropy cable off', it means the Entropy sensor cable is not connected to the Entropy module. Connect the Entropy cable to the Entropy module.
How to resolve 'SpO2 probe off' on GE HEALTHCARE B40 Medical Equipment?
If GE HEALTHCARE Medical Equipment displays 'SpO2 probe off', it may be because the finger or ear lobe is too thin, or the sensor halves are not aligned. Check the connection between the sensor and the patient and consider replacing the sensor.
What to do if GE HEALTHCARE Medical Equipment displays 'No SpO2 pulse'?
If the GE HEALTHCARE Medical Equipment displays 'No SpO2 pulse', try other measurement sites, as the pulse signal may be poor.
