Colin Medical · Model YM6000
Available parameters include 3 or 5 lead ECG, Respiration, NIBP, Sp02, 2 temperatures, included battery and optional 2IBP, EtC02, and built-in printer. High quality 12.1 inch color TFT LCD screen enables you to monitor 6 traces with 10 numerics vital sign clearly even under the most difficult lighting conditions. 6 color coded keys and a trim knob admits clinicians to quickly access monitoring function controls. The optimized 2 packs of Ni-MH rechargeable batteries, a wheeled mobile cart and an integrated top handle ensure continuous monitoring under any transport circumstances. Connectivity to the central monitoring system enables users to receive alarm signal automatically when the patient's condition turns critical. Also the stored event or real time vital sign can be re-called to review and print with any PC printer through the network.
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.

C11NIBP: Check cuff Cuff pressure did not increase enough even after activating the pump for more than 30 seconds (adult). There is a possibility that a cuff hose is disconnected, or a cuff may not be wrapped around an arm. Check cuff and cuff hose. This error possibly occurs in case of large cuffs that are wrapped around loosely. When the error still occurs even after checking above, there is a poss
Check cuff and cuff hose. Replace it with a new one if air leakage.
C12NIBP: Check cuff / Patient Blood pressure could not be measured even after cuff pressure decreased. It is possibly because pulse was not strong enough for measurement, or because change of pulse amplitude could not be obtained. Check whether cuffs are not wrapped around thick clothing. After wrapping cuffs around property, measure again. When the error occurs in the initial measurement in continuo
Check whether cuffs are not wrapped around thick clothing. After wrapping cuffs around property, measure again.
C13NIBP: Cuff excessive artifact Measurement failed because of patient movement during measurement. Tell the patient to stay still, then, measure again. When it occurs in the initial measurement in continuous mode, the second measurement will start unless Stop button is pressed.
Tell the patient to stay still, then measure again.
C14NIBP: Cuff insufficient pressure Measurement failed because of insufficient pressurizing. There is a possibility that standard cuff pressure might be detected wrongly due to noises, motion artifact or external vibration. Check whether cuffs are not wrapped around thick clothing, whether the patient is moving and whether cuffs are free from outside vibrations, then, measure again. When it occurs in
Check whether cuffs are not wrapped around thick clothing, whether the patient is moving and whether cuffs are free from outside vibrations, then, measure again.
C15NIBP: Cuff irregular pulses Blood pressure could not be measured because oscillation graph was not normal. There is a possibility that motion artifact or vibration from outside might interrupt the measurement. Check whether the patient stays still and cuffs are free from external vibration, then, measure again. When it occurs in the initial measurement in continuous mode, the second measurement is
Check whether the patient stays still and cuffs are free from external vibration, then, measure again.
C16NIBP: Cuff motion artifact Blood pressure could not be measured because noises interrupted pulse waveform signal. Check for motion artifacts, or external vibration and then, measure again. When it occurs in the initial measurement in continuous mode, the second measurement will start unless Stop button is pressed.
Check for motion artifacts, or external vibration and then, measure again.
C17NIBP: Cuff time‐out Measurement was preventively stopped because measurement time exceeded 160 seconds (adult), There is a possibility that blood pressure might be repeatedly measured due to insufficient pressurizing caused by calcified pseudohypertension.
C18NIBP: Cuff time‐out, over 160 pulses Pulse waveform signal more than 160 beats are detected during measurement. There is possibility that noises might interrupt signal. Motion artifact or external vibrations possibly affected cuffs. Check for patient movement and if the cuff is free from stays still and cuffs are free from outside vibration, then, measure again.
Check for patient movement and if the cuff is free from stays still and cuffs are free from outside vibration, then, measure again.
C19NIBP: Cuff pressure failure Cuff pressure exceeded more than 300 mmHg (adult) during measurement. There is a possibility that the patient moved during measurement or strong pressure from outside might be added to cuffs. Considering above, measure again.
Considering above, measure again.
C20NIBP: Cuff weak pulse Amplitude of pulse obtained from cuffs are too weak. This error possibly occurs when cuffs are wrapped around loosely in ASO patients or when cuffs are wrapped around thick clothing. Wrap cuffs around properly, then, measure again.
Wrap cuffs around properly, then, measure again.
C21NIBP: Check cuff, hose and mode Patient to be measured, and cuff size used, do not match. This error may occur if the blood pressure measurement mode setting is incorrect, if the cuff has been wrapped tightly in the adult mode, loosely in the neonatal mode or if the arm has been bent during measurement. Check the measurement mode setting and application of the cuff, and measure again.
Check the measurement mode setting and application of the cuff, and measure again.
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.
