What does OVERPRESSURE message mean on GE Corometrics 250cx?
If the OVERPRESSURE message is shown in the NIBP area of the display on your GE Medical Equipment, restrict patient limb movement. Check the external cuff and hose for kinks. Contact service if the symptom still exists or the hose is blocked.
Why does my GE Corometrics 250cx Medical Equipment monitor show dashes in the MSpO2 area?
If your GE Medical Equipment monitor displays dashes in the MSpO2 area, it could be due to several reasons. First, check that the sensor is properly applied and not too tight; try moving it to another location. Ensure the patient isn't moving excessively and that there isn't too much ambient light; if so, cover the sensor. Also, confirm the intermediate cable is firmly attached and that you're using the correct SpO2 sensor type (Nellcor, Masimo) supported by the monitor. Inspect the sensor for defects and replace if necessary. If none of these steps work, the SpO2 module + carrier 2 board may be defective and need replacement.
What to do if my GE Corometrics 250cx monitor displays CHECK CUFF message?
If the CHECK CUFF message appears on your GE Medical Equipment monitor, reposition the cuff and ensure it's properly tightened. Restrict patient limb movement. Make sure the hose is firmly attached to the monitor. Verify that an adult cuff is being used. If the problem continues, the NIBP board may be defective and require replacement.
How to fix incorrect date and time on GE Corometrics 250cx Medical Equipment?
If your GE Medical Equipment monitor displays the wrong date and time, first access the General Setup screen to correct these settings. If the problem persists, the timekeeping RAM chip (U30) on the main board may be defective and need replacement. In some cases, the main board itself may be defective, requiring replacement.
Why does my GE Corometrics 250cx monitor show SYSTEM FAULT: DEFAULTS error?
If your GE Medical Equipment monitor displays a SYSTEM FAULT: DEFAULTS error message, it indicates that the main board is defective and needs to be replaced.
Why does my GE Corometrics 250cx Medical Equipment recorder not function and the Record Indicator is on?
If the recorder on your GE Medical Equipment monitor isn't functioning but the Record Indicator is on, check if the recorder stepper motor is stepping. Replace the stepper motor if necessary. If the issue persists, the recorder roller may be defective and the recorder assembly needs to be replaced.
Why does my GE Corometrics 250cx Medical Equipment monitor show SYSTEM FAULT: UI KEYPAD error?
If your GE Medical Equipment monitor displays a SYSTEM FAULT: UI KEYPAD error message, it suggests a communication problem between the main board and the UI keypad board. Ensure the interconnect cable is securely connected. If the issue persists, the UI keypad board may be defective and need replacement.
What to do if internal pressure parameter is not measured correctly on GE Corometrics 250cx Medical Equipment?
If the internal pressure parameter isn't being measured correctly on your GE Medical Equipment monitor, first ensure the transducer is securely connected to the monitor unit. Check for air bubbles in the dome or a blocked catheter; flush them if necessary. Inspect the dome for cracks and replace it if damaged. Also, check if the catheter has fallen out of place and replace it if needed. Calibrate the catheter or strain gauge. If problems continue, the UA board may be defective and require replacement.
How to troubleshoot a GE Corometrics 250cx Medical Equipment monitor with static noise?
To troubleshoot static noise on the ultrasound signal of your GE Medical Equipment monitor, ensure you are using GE-approved ultrasound transducers and not refurbished ones. Keep sheets and gowns off the transducer, and avoid holding it with your hand. If the fetus is active, reposition the transducer and wait a few seconds before moving it again. The transducer itself may be defective and need checking or replacement. Maternal movement can also cause static.
Why does my GE Medical Equipment recorder flash on and off?
If the Record Indicator on your GE Medical Equipment monitor's recorder flashes on and off, it may indicate that the paper supply is low or incorrectly loaded. Try installing a new pack of GE-approved paper. It could also be due to the paper-low photosensor being out of calibration, requiring a photosensor check. Alternatively, the paper-low photosensor cable might be disconnected or the photosensor defective, needing reconnection or replacement.
