How does biomed check this module. If anything please include Partnumber and maybe a picture of simulator and cables used. RE: Philips - IntelliVue NMT Module
We are trying to restore the hard drive on the Host Machine on our Witt Biomedical Calysto Image IV System from the restoration CD's but the disc 1 CD is corrupted. It is the "WittImage_G5Host_XPP-BC845DL_11-06-07" image file. We are looking for a source for another set. Any direction is appreciated. RE: Philips - WITT Biomedical Series IV
Here are some troubleshooting steps for when a nurse cannot get a heart rate readout from an ECG waveform, or the monitor continuously alarms for Asystole.
1) Choose the ECG numeric, then find Adjust Size in the pull down. When you do this it may be set to 2x, 3x, or 4x . Increasing size does not help the monitor to analyze the signal. The signal as it is analyzed by the monitor is always at X1.
Set the size to X1. This will give you a better picture of what is actually happening . The signal is typically very small size; one the system cannot get a good reading off of. This issue is more likely seen with an e edematous patient or the thin leathery skin elderly type. It is difficult to get a good signal due to the type of skin.
3) Instruct the nurse do a mild dermabrasion. Attempt to clear the skin of oil or loose skin.
4) Ask the nurse to replace the patches. Ensure the patches are within their expiration date, and the package has not been opened for more than 24-48 hours.
5) If the signal is still weak, try switching to single lead analysis. This can be done from the central or bedside. Search through all of the available lead selections for one than has the best and strongest signal.

There has been several situations when the calibration adjustment of the 5.0% CAL gas is too great for the software. If everything else passes on the PM, I will try the following steps to a high degree of success:
1) Use the 10% CAL gas at 6%. Save results
2) Use the 5% CAL gas at 4%. Save results
3) Cal 5% using Cal gas at 5%. Save results
Below is a sample PM template. Please be aware that you should not consider the below "absolute truth", but verify your steps using the current service manual.
PM Checks:
[X] Perform Visual Inspection.
[X] Check the operating time for the pump and C02 scrubbers
>15000 hour replace pump. Hours on pump: 498
[X]Barometric Pressure Check
[i] Connect a FilterLine to the sidestream CO2 input to
start the pump running.
[x] Verify ambient and cell pressure shown in the status
line on the screen.
[X]Perform Flow Check.
[i] Go into Service Mode and highlight CO2.
[i] Connect a FilterLine to the sidestream CO2 input to start
the pump running.
[i] Attach another Filterline to the output power of the
M3015A. Attach the Filterline to the Low Range Inlet port.
[i] Block the Low Flow Exhaust on the flow meter outlet using
your fingertip and observe the flowmeter display. The
value on the flowmeter should decrease to 0 and 4
ml/min, accompanied by an audible increase in pump
noise. If the value is outside the tolerance limits, there is
a leakage between the pump outlet and the M3015A gas
outlet. Open the M3015A and check the tubing
connections at the pump outlet and the M3015A gas
outlet. If the connections are good, then there is a
leakage in the tubing and the M3015A must be exchanged.
[i] Disconnect the Filter line from the Low Flow Inlet port
Flowmeter. Attach the Filterline, connected to the inlet
port of the M3015A, to the Low Flow Exhaust port.
[i] Block the Low Range Inlet port using your fingertip and
observe the flowmeter display. The value on the flowmeter
should decrease to 0 and 4 ml/min, accompanied
by an audible increase in pump noise. (Do not block the
inlet for longer than 25 seconds as this will lead to an
Occlusion INOP). If the value is not within the tolerance
limits, there is a leakage between the FilterLine inlet and
the pump inlet. Check the FilterLine connections and open
the M3015A to check the tubing connections at the pump
inlet and the M3015A gas inlet. If the connections are
good, try replacing the FilterLine and repeating the
leakage check. If the situation remains, there is a leakage
in the tubing and the M3015A must be exchanged.
[X] Calibrate CO2 if required.
Calibration Details:
Calibrate the CO2 in service mode.
Calibrated the CO2 with 5% Gas. The Calibration passed.

We had a surveyor come thru and tell us that we can't use the GE supplied web belt that the CASE Stress CAM-14 patient module has on it to hold the CAM-14 module around the patient's waist. Has anyone ever run into this problem ? Does anyone know of a solid plastic washable belt that could be used instead of the web belt ?
Thanks Tim Penno

Does anyone know of a company that repairs these modules in Canada? I usually send to BMESCO but I have been having issues with shipping them across border recently. RE: Philips - M3001A MMS Module
