4. Basic PM Procedure
Use the TRIM KNOB to select <Time and Date>. When selected, the date item will flash.
After making the desired date change, repeat the drill for time if necessary.
Note: If first results are unsatisfactory, it may be necessary to swap the cuff hoses and repeat the test,
especially at high pressure. Check for o-rings in hose connector.
Note: If message “PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE REQUIRED” appears, perform all of the maintenance procedures
listed under, “Manufacturer Recommendations” on page 4-3 of Service Manual. See Appendix below. Do the calibration
the service manual shows and then get out of the service menu and go back to patient monitoring mode. Now discharge the
patient and then reboot (off / on) the monitor. The message should be gone. Also, to change a monitor setup at anytime,
the “discharge patient and reboot” must first be performed.
3. Note – not verified: To remove “PM is due” message, go into service mode and update time even if not needed. Then,
MORE MENUS, NEW CASE SETUP. This will cause a power-off reset.
Note: To adjust the control settings for the patient admitted to the monitor, select MORE MENUS

4.10. ECG Internal Voltage Check -- If needed, see Appendix or Service Manual
Another alternate reference is a glass of lukewarm water with a known temperature between 90
and 104 degrees. Monitor results can be checked in either the Normal mode or the Monitor
mode. If the temperature is in Normal mode, the user may easily switch to Monitor mode
without entering the Monitor's internal configuration mode. To do this, remove the probe from
the probe holder, attach a new probe cover, and wait one minute (do not place probe anywhere at
this time). After one minute the Monitor will automatically switch to temperature Monitor mode,
and the green "Monitor Mode" display will be illuminated on the temperature display. After the
probe is replaced in the holder, the Monitor will revert back to Normal temperature mode.
APPENDIX
• Conditioning the Batteries: Condition the batteries once every two months or as needed.
• Calibrating the NBP, Analog Output BP, Analog Output ECG, and End-tidal CO2 Software: Calibrate the NBP and
End-tidal CO2 software upon receipt of the equipment, every 12 months thereafter, and each time the unit is opened for
service. Calibrate the analog output BP and analog output ECG whenever these do NOT
pass the analog output checkout procedure.
• Electrical Safety Tests: Perform safety tests upon receipt of the equipment, every 12 months thereafter, and each time the
unit is serviced.
• Checkout Procedures: Perform the checkout procedures upon receipt of the equipment, every 12 months thereafter, and
each time the unit is serviced.
• Clearing the Stored Patient Data Memory: Admit and discharge a test patient every 12 months to clear the monitor’s
stored patient data memory. To Discharge a Patient,
