Key tips
- ·A no-signal/flatline alarm gets checked on the patient first, not the monitor - rule out a real clinical event before troubleshooting.
- ·Recalibrate NIBP against a reference manometer, not just a self-test pass.
- ·Reused patient cables (SpO2, ECG leads) are a common source of intermittent-fault complaints - swap the cable before the module.
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.

E03BPM pressure sensor fault. Pump operated for ten seconds, however pressure does not change.
Check the connection of the cuff hose. The problem may be due to a fault if no improvement is apparent. Cease use immediately in this case and contact Cardiac Science Technical Support.
E09A potentially dangerous situation was detected during measurement. It is possible that the situation was detected incorrectly due to vibration being applied to the cuff and cuff hose from an external source, or occurrence of a blockage.
Check the patient and conditions of measurement, and measure again with the cuff. Cease use immediately if the E09 error recurs and contact Cardiac Science Technical Support.
E10Readings outside NIBP range [Adult]: SYS < 60, SYS >250 MAP < 45, MAP >235 DIA < 40, DIA >200 [Neo]: SYS < 40, SYS >120 MAP < 30, MAP >100 DIA < 20, DIA >90
Check the condition of the patient.
E11Pressure rise not completed within required time. Required time: 60 seconds (adult), 20 seconds (neonate). The cuff pressure rise was not completed even though the pump was operated for longer than the usual time.
Check cuff and cuff hose. This error possibly occurs in the case of large cuffs that are applied loosely. When the error still occurs even after checking above, there is a possibility that the cuff is torn and air is leaking. Replace it with a new one.
E12Cannot compute a measured value despite cuff pressure being below specified pressure. Specified pressure: 10mmHg (adult), 5mmHg (neonate). Blood pressure could not be measured even after cuff pressure decreased.

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: A parameter drops out or reads wrong (ECG / IBP / SpO2 / temp / CO2 / CO)
- Reseat the patient cable at the module and at the monitor.
- Swap in a known-good cable / sensor for that parameter and re-test.
- Move the module to another host or slot to tell module from host.
- Inspect the module docking connector for bent or recessed pins.
- Verify against a patient simulator; replace the cable, or refer the parameter module / input board if the fault stays with it.
Symptom: NIBP will not measure or is inaccurate
- Leak-test the cuff and hose (occlude and watch for pressure decay).
- Run the monitor's NIBP calibration-verification against a calibrated manometer.
- Confirm correct cuff size and placement and check for a kinked hose.
- Verify against a NIBP simulator at several pressures.
- Refer the monitor for internal pump / valve service if it still fails.
Symptom: Blank / dim / frozen display or unresponsive touchscreen
- Power-cycle the monitor fully (mains removed, battery out where possible).
- Check the display backlight and the display / touchscreen cable.
- Note any boot or self-test error code.
- Re-calibrate the touchscreen if the touch offset is the issue.
- Replace the display / touchscreen assembly or refer the main board.
Symptom: Not shown at the central station / network dropout
- Confirm the wired drop or Wi-Fi settings and that other monitors on that segment are online.
- Check the monitor's network address / unit-bed assignment and re-admit.
- Reseat the network card / cable.
- Restart the monitor's network interface.
- Escalate a whole-unit outage to the central-station server / IT.
