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.
Gas readings drift / need calibration
HighSymptoms: Agent, CO2, N2O or O2 values off vs a reference, calibration prompts.
Root cause: Sensor aging, a missed calibration, or the wrong calibration gas.
Water trap full / sample-line occlusion
MediumSymptoms: "Occlusion" or "WaterLock" alarm, no or low sample flow, flat waveforms.
Root cause: Full or expired water trap, or a blocked / kinked sample line.
O2 sensor fault
MediumSymptoms: O2 reading implausible or will not calibrate.
Root cause: Depleted O2 sensor (fuel-cell type) or a paramagnetic-cell fault.
Module not recognised by the host
MediumSymptoms: Anaesthesia monitor does not display the Scio module.
Root cause: Docking connector or a module fault.

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: Readings drift
- Fit a fresh water trap and sample line.
- Run the module's calibration with the correct Draeger calibration gas.
- Calibrate or replace the O2 sensor.
- Let the module warm up fully before assessing.
- Verify against a reference gas mix.
Symptom: Occlusion / no sample flow
- Replace the water trap.
- Check the sample line and connectors for kinks or fluid.
- Confirm the internal sample pump runs.
- Clear the alarm and watch the flow recover.
- Replace the sample pump if flow stays low with a clear path.
