  First, inspect the Patient Data Module’s battery interface. Look for any damage to the battery tray; if you find damage, replace it. Next, check the battery connector inside the battery compartment for damage. If damaged, contact GE technical support. Finally, try inserting a known good battery to see if it charges. If it doesn’t, contact GE technical support. Also, verify the battery itself. Ensure it's fully charged by pressing the TEST button. If the LED isn't at 100%, follow the charging and conditioning procedures. Inspect the battery connector and surfaces for damage, and replace the battery if needed. Confirm that you are using a GE approved battery charger; if it's still not charging, replace the battery.

  First, check the ePort to host interface cable for any damage and replace it if necessary. Then, inspect the Tram-net port on the patient monitor for damage; if damaged, refer to the Solar 8000M/i patient monitor service manual, Field replaceable units chapter for ordering parts. Next, connect a known good Patient Data Module to the patient monitor. If it still doesn't power on, consult the Solar 8000M/i patient monitor service manual Troubleshooting chapter. Check the ePort interface on the Patient Data Module for damage; if damaged, contact GE technical support. Finally, check the Patient Data Module’s battery, following the steps outlined in the ‘Battery is not charging’ section.

  Begin by checking the parameter cables for any damage and replace them if needed. Next, inspect the parameter interface for damage; if damaged, contact GE technical support. Then, verify the licensing using the GEHC MS service tool by navigating to Configuration > Licensing. If the license isn't activated, install it. Finally, ensure that the patient monitor is configured to display the parameter.

  Check the NBP calibration date and time using the GEHC MS service tool in the Device Information module. If NBP isn't calibrated, perform the NBP calibration following the procedures in the Solar 8000M/i service manual, Maintenance and checkout chapter. Also, assess NBP performance by performing the NBP calibration check as described in the Solar 8000M/i patient monitor service manual Maintenance and checkout chapter. If the NBP pressure is leaking, check the NBP cuff for leakage. If the cuff isn't leaking, use the GEHC MS service tool and go to Diagnostics > Service Metrics to record the NBP statistics information for trending. If needed, replace the NBP assembly with manifold.
