Malfunction Possible cause Measure
The NIBP
measurement values
do not seem plausible.
Too large/too small NIBP
cuffs are being used.
Use the correct NIBP cuff size.
The NIBP cuff cannot
be completely inflated.
The NIBP cuff or the hose
system are possibly
damaged.
Use a new NIBP cuff.
The connection between
the NIBP cuff and the
patient box is possibly cut
off.
 Check the connecting hose between the
NIBP cuff and the patient box.
 Replace the hose if necessary.
The connecting hose
of the NIBP cuff
becomes loose from
the patient box
The closure of the plug has
not been closed properly
 Check the plug closure
 Exchange the plug if defect. Use a new
connecting hose.
The closure opens when
the connecting hose is
moved
 For those cases, a fixing ring is available
as spare part. Contact your authorised
service and sales partner.

 The CO2 value is not
displayed.
 The CO2 curve is not
displayed.
 The RR value is not
displayed.
The CO
2
sensor is not
correctly positioned on the
airway adapter.
Position the CO
2
sensor according to the
indications in the operating instructions of

" socket on the
patient box.
The CO
2
sensor is not
connected to the CO
2
intermediate cable.
Make sure that the CO
2
sensor is

2
intermediate cable.
No signal data is received.
The connection to the
patient box is possibly cut
off.
 Check, if the patient box is switched on.
 Check the connection status and reduce
the distance between the monitoring unit
and patient box if necessary.
 When operating as compact device,
check the infrared interfaces.
The CO
2
curve is inter-
rupted sporadically for
a short time by a
dashed line.
Self calibration of the CO
2
module
 The CO2 module performs a calibration.
No measures necessary
