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.
BIS / EEG signal quality poor
HighSymptoms: High SQI / EMG, noisy or flat EEG, BIS value unreliable or absent.
Root cause: Sensor contact / expiry, the patient interface cable (PIC), or DSC / module fault.
Module / pod not recognised by the host
MediumSymptoms: Host monitor does not display the module or Tram / pod.
Root cause: Docking / rack connector or cable fault.
NIBP will not measure or is inaccurate
MediumSymptoms: NIBP times out, cuff will not inflate / hold, readings implausible.
Root cause: Internal NIBP pump or valve, a cuff / hose leak, or a pressure-transducer fault.
Cable / connector wear
LowSymptoms: Intermittent signal with cable movement.
Root cause: Worn patient cable.

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
- Reseat the patient cable at the module.
- Swap in a known-good cable for that parameter.
- Dock the module on a different host / slot to isolate module vs host.
- Inspect the docking connector for bent pins.
- Replace the cable or refer the module if the fault stays with it.
Symptom: Module / pod not recognised
- Reseat the module / Tram / pod at the host or rack.
- Inspect the docking connector for bent pins.
- Try it in another host or slot.
- Try a known-good module in this slot.
- Refer the module or host slot as isolated.
