If the HeartStart MRx detects an error or potential problem during use, it displays an INOP statement
or a message window with text to guide you. INOP statements and messages are often accompanied by
a voice prompt or an audible beeping tone. This chapter describes the INOP statements and messages
that you may see, along with other symptoms, and provides suggestions for what to do. In addition,
this chapter provides an explanation of audible tones and information on contacting your service
representative.
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.
• Take the HeartStart MRx out of use if there is a malfunction affecting ECG monitoring,
defibrillation, or pacing. For malfunctions related to SpO
