CO2 INOPs
<Press Label> Noisy Signal
Pulse numeric is replaced by -?-
INOP tone
This INOP can only arise when a pressure is selected as the pulse source. It occurs when the pulse
detector finds a pulse rate above 350 bpm. This is usually caused by movement artifact or electrical
interference.
<Press Label> Overrange
Numeric is replaced by -?-
INOP tone
Make sure that the measurement has been properly prepared and zeroed, and that the transducer is
level with the heart. If this INOP persists, try another transducer.
Possible causes are a measured pressure outside the allowed pressure range, or a broken wire to the
transducer.
<Press Label> Unplugged
INOP tone
A Pressure measurement label has been deactivated, either by unplugging a module, or by deactivating
the label in the Measurement Selection window.
The measurement automatically disappears from the display.
To switch the measurement on again, either replug the module or reactivate the measurement label in
the
Measurement Selection window.
<Press Label> Zero+Check
Cal
Numeric is replaced by -?-
Perform a zero and check the calibration of the transducer.

INOP Message, Indication What to do
INOP Message, Indication What to do
CO₂ Auto Zero
Numeric is replaced by -?-
if the Autozero lasts >15 sec,
INOP tone sounds.
The automatic zero calibration is in progress. This typically takes 10 seconds. During this time the CO
2
values may not be updated, or they may be replaced by -?-. Wait until the zero calibration is complete
to resume monitoring.
CO₂ Cal Failed
Numeric is replaced by -?-
INOP tone
Make sure that the Cal cell was changed between CAL1 and CAL2. Repeat the calibration. If the
INOP reappears, try another transducer. If the INOP persists, contact your service personnel.
CO₂ Cal Mode
CO

numeric displays current
CO
2
value for accuracy check
Currently no calibration is running. Accuracy can be checked by placing the transducer on the two cells
of the calstick and starting calibration. To start monitoring, leave Cal. Mode.
CO₂ Cal Running
Numeric is replaced by -?-
Wait until calibration is finished.
CO₂ Check Cal
Numeric is replaced by -?-
INOP tone
The CO
2
value is outside the measurement range. Perform an accuracy check for both calstick cells
and, if necessary, recalibrate the transducer.
CO₂ Chk Adapter
Numeric is replaced by -?-
INOP tone
Check that the sensor is connected to the airway adapter, clean the airway adapter, if necessary.
Perform a zero calibration. If the INOP persists, contact your service personnel.
CO₂ Deactivated
INOP tone
The CO
2
measurement label in the measurement device has been deactivated by deactivating the label
in the
Measurement Selection window. The measurement automatically disappears from the display.
To switch the measurement on again, reactivate the measurement label in the
Measurement
Selection
window.
CO₂ Equip Malf
Numeric is replaced by -?-
INOP tone
The Measurement Extension is faulty. Unplug and replug the Multi-Measurement Module with
Extension. If you are using the mainstream method, unplug and replug the transducer or try another
transducer. If the INOP persists, contact your service personnel.
