Troubleshooting
Overview
If the Efficia DFM100 detects an error or potential problem during use, it displays a textual message
to guide you. These messages are often accompanied by a voice prompt or audible beeping tone.
This chapter describes these statements that you see, along with other symptoms, and provides
suggestions for what to do and resources for you to contact for further information.
Resolving Issues
If you are unable to resolve a problem using the suggestions in this chapter, run an Operational
Check to determine if there is a malfunction requiring service. If a malfunction is identified, call for
service and:
• If the malfunction is related to ECG monitoring, defibrillation or pacing, take the Efficia
DFM100 out of service.
• If the malfunction is related to SpO

, EtCO

or NBP, take the device out of service if the
function is essential to patient care in your institution.
