Greetings Engineers
The above mentioned patient monitor display "air leakage"error everytime NIBP is carried out. I changed the NIBP accessories with the one that is working but we still have the same results"air leakage". Please what can I do?
I am a biomedical engineer from Cameroon working with Mbingo Baptist hospital.
Thank you

I've got 2 units, after the gas agent calibration, it shows the current date as last cal date, but after power cycling it reverts to an older date. I've tried using the save mode, going thru the airway gas cal function as well, but it reverts back each time. I've checked the SRAM on both, replaced 1. But still no change. I've never seen this before.
The monitor all of a sudden says check sample gas out And stop displaying results for gas monitoring. I changed the d-fend for a new one without success.
What do I need to do RE: GE HealthCare - Cardiocap/5
A few days ago sram error is on the screen.
an all parameters does not display.
Today I change the new sram battery and
the new lead acid battery.
And i did factory reset after reading official service manual.
But still the all parameters does not
display on the screen.
What should I do?
When the power on,
self test is passed normay.
But after self test,
the all parameters does not dislpay.
I think that this is the software setting problem,
not a mechanical defect.
Is there anyone who solved this same problem?
Thanks lot.
have a good day! RE: GE HealthCare - Cardiocap/5
Datex Gas Bench Challenge - damped N2O data
I am using a Datex Cardiocap/5 to track the evolution of O2, Co2 and N2O concentrations during the first few minutes of changing the inspired mixture (this is in the context of volunteer study/novel equipment configuration). I am able to read out and export the %concentrations using
the right cable from https://www.medicollector.com/support-compatible-devices.html
crazy expensive software (didn't buy it) but it works in demo-mode (with the right cables&) and this amazing free software from Korea https://vitaldb.net/vital-recorder/
so i'm using the US cable with the Korean software.
so far, so good, great stream of O2 and CO2 waveforms but the nitrous is damped. Any ideas?
In service mode I can see the instantaneous voltages for all three gasses. O2 and CO2 look dynamic up and down per breath. In contrast the N2O trace looks like an average rather than breath-by-breath.
So what is the diagnosis? This is in a non-operating room environment and I have no capacity for volatile anaesthetic so I cannot say whether that is working.
The waveforms also look as described if viewed on screen (no option for N2O waveform) or by inspection of the voltages within the service mode. Digital export through the x2 port/Korean software and as analogue voltages on the analogue outlet onto a voltmeter all look similar (dynamic O2 and CO2, cluggish N2O) so I guess it is a real thing&
Might it relate to the SRAM battery issue mentioned in another thread? Im up for replacing the battery if need be but dont want to lobotomise my machine and nervous about any general reset..
Any ideas or advice much appreciated
Thanks

RE: GE HealthCare - Cardiocap/5
I'm trying to get data out for a research project. Currently trying to test the demo version of medicollector but it cannot see the monitor.. No joy. In the Cardiocap/5 service menu when I burrow down to 'communication' then 'Computer If' I get 'Interface status CLOSED'. the Technical Manual implies ' CLOSED indicates that the necessary hardware is not present' is this really true? what hardware? or is it some software thing that I need to toggle.
Alternatively, on the graphical trends I can (painfully) read off data every 10sec by using the 20min scale and the cursor. In contrast the tabular trends seems to be set at 5min with no way to configure it. Any ideas?
For the project I want to read off gas bench concentrations for 5min in as much detail as possible RE: GE HealthCare - Cardiocap/5
service/communications/Computer If is showing 'Closed'. Am I missing a bit of hardware or is this a configuration thing - and if so, how can I fix it please?
