Troubleshooting The information in this section may help a service technician isolate possible
Aids software or circuit problems. It consists of the self-diagnostic error codes. If
an instrument problem cannot be isolated and repaired, contact a
Physio-Control customer service specialist in the US at 1-800-442-1142;
outside the US, contact the local Physio-Control representative.
Error Codes and The LIFEPAK 9 defibrillator/monitor contains self-diagnostic software.
SERVICE Indicator When a software or circuit problem is detected during operation, the
SERVICE message is displayed on the monitor. For many problems, an error
code is generated and displayed in the Info Menu.
To access the Info Menu, turn power off, then press ON while pressing and
holding down LEAD SELECT and HR ALARM until the Test Menu is
displayed. Press W ECG SIZE to scroll down to INFO, then press
HR ALARM to display the Info Menu. The error code number is listed beside
FAULT STATUS. Refer to Table 3-9 for the software or circuit associated
with each error code.
To remove or “clear” an error code, press HR ALARM to scroll down to
RETAIN (or CLEAR), then press ECG SIZE & to CLEAR the error. If more
than one error code has been generated, the next error code will be displayed
in sequence. After all error codes are cleared (and the FAULT STATUS
displays 00), press LEAD SELECT to exit the Info Menu and return to the
Test Menu. Press W ECG SIZE to scroll down to EXIT, then press
HR ALARM to resume normal operation.
After the error code is cleared, the SERVICE message is removed from the
display. If, however, a software or circuit problem still exists or reoccurs, the
SERVICE message is again displayed. Contact a Physio-Control
representative for assistance.
