Typical Failure Modes
Compiled for this model from its own documentation and established engineering knowledge for this equipment class - not from a verified service record. Confirm against the manufacturer's service manual.
Flow / volume readings out of tolerance
HighSymptoms: Calibration verification fails against a 3-L syringe, FVC/FEV1 drift.
Root cause: Debris or moisture in the flow path, a damaged disposable mouthpiece sensor, or use of non-authorized accessories causing noise.
Mains fuse / power fault
MediumSymptoms: Unit will not power on.
Root cause: Blown 250 V 5 A high-breaking fuse at the AC power connection port, a power-cord fault, or a power-switch fault.
Thermal printer fault
MediumSymptoms: No printed PFT report, faint print, paper jam, printer cover switch not detected.
Root cause: Worn thermal print head, empty/jammed paper, or a printer-cover switch fault.
Patient-cable / spirometry-port connection fault
MediumSymptoms: Intermittent signal, ECG or spirometry input drops.
Root cause: Worn connector at the patient-cable connection port or the spirometry port.

Troubleshooting Approach
A starting sequence for this model, compiled from its documentation and engineering knowledge for this equipment class. Follow the manufacturer's service documentation for the actual procedure.
Symptom: Calibration verification fails
- Fit a fresh disposable mouthpiece and repeat the 3-L syringe check with smooth full strokes.
- Inspect the flow path for moisture or debris and dry it.
- Use only authorized Bionet accessories - other brands cause distortion and noise.
- Confirm the BTPS / environmental settings are correct.
- If verification still fails, refer the unit to Bionet - do not open the cover.
Symptom: Unit will not power on
- Check the AC power connection and cord.
- Switch off and remove the mains fuse at the AC power connection port; inspect the filament and fit a 250 V 5 A high-breaking-type fuse.
- Verify the rear power switch operates.
- Power on and confirm the LCD and control panel come up.
- If it still will not start, refer for service.
