Message/Problem Meaning and Corrective Action
Optical interface
material is dam-
aged, loose or
peeled off of sensor
or H/S cuvette.
The transparent optical interface material provides a
means of consistent optical connection between the
sensor and the BPM cable-head, and the CDI H/S Probe
and CDI H/S Cuvette. This material reduces the risk of
measurement errors caused by moisture or air trapped
between the microsensors (or cuvette window) and mod-
ule optics. If you have a sensor or cuvette whose optical
interface material appears to be scratched or has peeled
off, contact your Terumo Customer Service representa-
tive to report the incident. Do not use sensors or cuvettes
with obvious optical interface material damage.
Cannot print case
summary data
after case.
Make sure the Printer is set to “On” in “setup” screen 1.
You must print the case data before turning the monitor
off, back on and returning to “operate” mode. Upon pow-
er-up and returning to “operate,” the case data is erased
from memory (new case begins). Case summary data
will not print if the monitor is running on battery power.
Temperature
measurement from
BPM is signicantly
different from an-
other temperature
probe in the blood.
Make sure the thermistor cap on the BPM is not stuck
in the retracted position. The thermistor cap has some
spring force to allow it to form a rm contact with the
thermal well on the sensor. If it is stuck, the lack of rm
contact will cause the temperature reading to be inaccu-
rate. Call Terumo Technical Service to arrange for repair.
Note:
A shunt line will normally be different in tempera-
ture from the main line. Smaller diameter tubing and
slower ow will increase the difference by allowing room
temperature to affect the blood in the shunt line. Verify
the actual difference between your shunt line temperature
and main line using a reliable temperature probe.
Fluid spilled onto
monitor and/or
calibrator.
Clean the uid off as soon as possible. The monitor cali-
brator has gaskets in the grooves and between panels to
prevent uid from seeping, but excess uid can settle into
joints and be difficult to remove.
Note:
The printer cover is designed to reduce the risk
associated with uids getting into the monitor. If uids
are suspected to have splashed into this area, unplug
the device from the power source and contact Terumo for
further support.
