    Why does the GS corpuls3 defibrillator take so long to charge?
    • M
      Mark HenrySep 8, 2025
      The battery state of charge might be low. Connect the defibrillator to an external power supply if possible, or connect the defibrillator with the other modules to be able to access their energy reserve.

    Why are ECG curves not displayed on the GS corpuls3?
    • A
      Andrea CaldwellAug 22, 2025
      Poor contact between the ECG electrodes and the patient’s skin can cause this issue. Ensure the electrodes are firmly attached, especially the green and black ones on the 4-pole ECG monitoring cable. Remove any excessive hair and clean the skin with an alcohol-based substance before applying new ECG electrodes. Also, check the connection of the clip to the ECG electrodes, particularly the green and black ones. Electrical interference in the environment can also cause this issue, remove or switch off any sources of electrical interference if possible. Incorrect ECG or mains filter settings can also cause this, check the ECG filter setting for monitoring and diagnostic and check the mains filter settings.

    Why is the ECG recording quality poor on GS corpuls3 Medical Equipment?
    • S
      Sandra LloydSep 5, 2025
      The ECG electrodes used may have passed their expiry date. Only use ECG electrodes whose expiry date printed on the packaging has not passed. Also, using ECG electrodes from different manufacturers can cause this. Only use ECG electrodes from the same manufacturer. The ECG electrodes may also be dried out. Do not use ECG electrodes stored outside the packaging for a prolonged period or with the packaging open. Do not use ECG electrodes exposed to the sun or excessive ambient temperatures for a prolonged period. Please read and follow the instructions for storage on the electrode packaging.

      Deborah HollandSep 3, 2025
      This issue might be caused by foreign bodies in front of the infrared interfaces on individual modules. Remove any foreign objects and clean the infrared interfaces if necessary. Also, the connection authorisation (Pairing) may not be taking place. Check if all modules are switched on and repeat pairing.

    What to do if the GS Medical Equipment monitoring unit won't switch on?
    • V
      Vincent JohnstonSep 2, 2025
      This may be caused by a malfunction in the network connection, or because the On/Off key on the monitoring unit was last pressed for more than 8 seconds. Disconnect the monitoring unit from the defibrillator/pacer and the patient box. Check if the defibrillator/pacer and patient box are switched on. Then, switch on the monitoring unit again by pressing the On/Off key.

    Why is the acoustic signal transmitter on the GS Medical Equipment too faint?
    • O
      ortizlauraSep 1, 2025
      The acoustic signal transmitter volume may be set too low. Set the volume to a readily audible value. Also, the opening of the acoustic signal transmitter may be dirty. Clean the opening of the acoustic signal transmitter.

    What causes LT-ECG to be unavailable on GS corpuls3 Medical Equipment?
    • J
      Jennifer HessAug 29, 2025
      This issue may be because no CompactFlash® card is inserted. Insert CompactFlash® card correctly. It may also be that a non-original CompactFlash® card is inserted. Only use original corpuls3- CompactFlash® cards. If the CompactFlash® card is full, delete the data on the CompactFlash® card and re-insert.

    How to extend radio connection range for GS Medical Equipment?
    • B
      Brent LeonardAug 27, 2025
      The radio unit in the patient box may be shadowed by metallic or metallised objects, or by people or body parts of the patient. If possible, choose a position that allows an unimpeded view to the other modules. Put the patient box in an upright position or use an appropriate bracket. Remove any metallic or metallised objects.

    Why is the oximetry value not displayed on my GS corpuls3 Medical Equipment?
    • A
      ashleyriveraAug 27, 2025
      This problem can arise if the oximetry sensor is not correctly placed on the patient’s body. Reposition the oximetry sensor according to the sensor manufacturer's instructions. Ensure that you are using an oximetry sensor suitable for the patient’s age and weight. Clean the oximetry sensor. Also, ensure that the oximetry intermediate cable is connected to the 'oximetry' socket on the patient box and that the oximetry sensor is connected to the oximetry intermediate cable. If the connection with the patient box is cut off, reduce the distance between the monitoring unit and the patient box. The measurement site on the patient may be dirty or disturbed by other influences, rotate the finger sensor by 90°, clean the measurement site and choose another measurement site.
