(see chapter 7.2.1 ECG Monitoring, p. 148).
The opening of the
loudspeaker is dirty.
Clean the opening of the loudspeaker
Table
10-6 Malfunctions during ECG monitoring
Malfunction Possible cause Measure
 The oximetry value is
not displayed.
 The pleth curve is
not displayed.
 The PP value is not
displayed.
 The oximetry values
are imprecise.
 The oximetry values
appear implausible.
The oximetry sensor is not
correctly placed on the
patient’s body.
Position the oximetry sensor according to
the indications in the operating instructions
of the sensor manufacturer.
The appropriate oximetry
sensor is not used.
Use an oximetry sensor suitable for the
patient’s age and weight.
The oximetry sensor is
dirty.
Clean the oximetry sensor (see
chapter 9.7.5 Oximetry Sensor, p. 222,).
The measurement site on
the patient is dirty or
disturbed by other
influences (fungal
infection/nail polish).
 Rotate the finger sensor by 90°.
 Clean the measurement site (e.g. remove
nail polish)
 Choose another measurement site.
The oximetry intermediate
cable is not connected to
the patient box.
Make sure that the oximetry intermediate
cable is connected to the " oximetry " socket
on the patient box.
The oximetry sensor is not
connected to the oximetry
intermediate cable.
Make sure that the oximetry sensor is
connected to the oximetry intermediate
cable
No signal data is received.
The connection with the
patient box is cut off.
Reduce the distance between the
monitoring unit and the patient box.
Strong ambient light
disturbs the measurement
(e.g. in case of strong
sunshine, operating theatre
lights with xenon light
sources, in case of
photodynamic therapy with
bilirubin lamps, etc.)
Protect the oximetry sensor by using
opaque material against ambient light.
Physical movements by the
patient interfere with the
measurement.
Secure the oximetry sensor. Eliminate the
cause on the patient’s part if possible.
Perfusion at the selected
measurement site is poor.
Select another measurement site.
The oximetry sensor is
attached too tightly.
Loosen the oximetry sensor
