My customer has an iRes they designated for use in surgery for c-sections. On 8.28.2024, they needed to use it and had turned it on to preheat it before the baby was placed in it. Before the baby was placed in it, the device displayed a message on the screen saying Check Baby — Heat Off. Normally, there is an audible alarm that they silence until the baby is placed in the bassinet. There was no audible alarm. Has anyone run into this before? I can't find any useful help in the service manual. There's a good chance that I'm going to have to call GE, but I want to exhaust any other resources before cutting GE a PO.
Turning the device on, it shows the display upside down. Has anyone else had this issue? Is it a software issue? I replaced the display and display board. There isn't anyway to mix cables or put them in upside down. I tried going to service mode but I didn't see an option for display.
Hello all, I have a resuscitation unit with the pressure not changing at the control knob. I changed the PIP regulator because I wasn't getting any adjustments there either and I changed the knob because the stopper broke off during testing but it is on tight and rotates as expected however I am not getting the knob to make any adjustments when turning still. The troubleshooting guide just says the knob may not be tight enough. Any suggestions?
I have GE Infant Panda Warmer that would not give an audible alarm for the heater or for the scale, but would alarm when the power switch in the back was flipped off. The warmer is now giving a system error 06 and give a red screen. Anyone have an idea of what is going on with the warmer. I appreciate any advice.
After doing the 3-year PM and replacing the fan motor, the fan makes an awful sound when starting and stopping. It appears like the fan hub's change of speed is causing it to rub the fan when there is a change of speed. This is the third omnibed in a row that has had this issue after fan replacement. Does anyone know if this is just from wear and tear or something that could have happened during the service? Any way to prevent it in the future? TIA.
I have the panda resus hooked up to a liner and canister. When I turn the suction on, I'm expecting a vacuum of 50 mmHg but only measure ~20 mmHg. I also try increasing the expected vacuum but it still only measures ~20 mmHg. The vacuum does increase when the liner is manually pushed down when the suction is on, but manual intervention shouldn't be necessary.
The resus passed all checkout tests, I tried calibrating it anyways, and it passed all checkout tests again.
I checked for cracks or leaks in the liner and canister and didn’t notice any. Tried replacing the liner and canister with another set and that didn't resolve my problem. I also tried both the original set and the replacement set on another vacuum and they both worked as expected without manual intervention.
Any recommendations for what to try next? Tests, replacement parts, or something else?
