Fisher and Paykel Healthcare Neopuff
Fisher and Paykel Healthcare · Model Neopuff
Easy to Use - the experience, training, concentration and fatigue level of the operator do not affect the pressures delivered. Flexibility in Operation - the Neopuff can accept and deliver oxygen concentrations from 21% to 100% coming from a flow meter or a blender. The T-Piece Circuit can connect to infant resuscitation masks or endotracheal tubes. Accurate Pressure Delivery - the fast-acting manometer provides constant reassurance of mask seal and delivered PIP and PEEP. Alternate Temporary Respiratory Support - consistent PEEP can be delivered to assist with breathing during transport or ventilator circuit change.
Key tips
- ·Most "no output" stim-unit complaints are cable-side - check electrode/lead continuity before assuming a unit fault.
- ·Frame and strap wear on mechanical rehab equipment is a real fall/injury risk - don't defer it as cosmetic.
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.
Motor / actuator / drive will not run or is weak
HighSymptoms: Traction force not applied, CPM carriage will not move or stalls, drive assist weak, motion one direction only.
Root cause: Worn drive motor / leadscrew / actuator, a hand-control fault, or a control-board fault.
Force / range / position inaccuracy
MediumSymptoms: Set traction force or CPM angle not reached, load cell drifts, carriage overshoots or stalls short.
Root cause: Load-cell / position-sensor drift, a potentiometer fault, or a limit-switch fault.
Hand control / patient-control fault
MediumSymptoms: Hand control unresponsive, the patient stop / reverse button does not work.
Root cause: Worn hand control or a damaged cable.
Frame / bearing / cable wear
MediumSymptoms: Rough or noisy travel, play in the carriage, frayed traction cord or rope.
Root cause: Worn bearings / slides or a frayed cable / cord.
Power / battery fault
LowSymptoms: Will not power on, short battery run time.
Root cause: Power supply / fuse or an aged battery.

PM Checklist
Preventive-maintenance tasks typical of this equipment class. Perform to the manufacturer's procedure and your facility's policy - this is general reference, not a schedule for this specific unit.
- ·Frame and strap wear inspection
- ·Electrode lead continuity check
- ·Annual electrical safety test
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: Motor / actuator will not run
- Confirm mains / battery and that any e-stop / patient stop is released.
- Try the hand control and, if fitted, the unit buttons to isolate the control.
- Listen for the drive motor and check the leadscrew is not jammed.
- Replace the hand control, motor or control board as isolated.
- Verify the achieved force / range against a reference after repair.
Symptom: Force or range not reached
- Run the calibration / homing routine.
- Check the load-cell / position sensor and the limit switches.
- Verify with a known weight (traction) or a goniometer (CPM).
- Replace the sensor if it drifts.
- Re-verify and confirm the patient stop works.
