GE HealthCare Marquette Tram 250SL
GE HealthCare · Model Marquette Tram 250SL
GE Marquette Tram 250SL Module TRAM modules are innovative multiparameter modules for use with the MacLab and the Solar® Family of Modular products. The TRAM modules act as patient data acquisition devices. These modules function as an integral part of the bedside for NICU, ICU, CCU and OR monitoring as well as serve as the transport module for use with the Tram® Transport Display. For monitoring applications the TRAM modules offer EK Pro® simultaneous multi-lead arrhythmia analysis. By using the same module for intra-hospital patient transport as well as bedside and Cath Lab monitoring, Marquette has eliminated the need to change cables and re-zero pressures as part of moving a patient from one care area to the next. The SL series of modules provide resting 12SL 12-lead ECG analysis at the bedside. In the Cath Lab, the SL series provides an easy on-screen 12-lead display with documentation. The TRAM modules contain a lithium battery backed-up memory that stores trends (with one-minute resolution), ECG histories, calculations, zero references, and setups.
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.
A parameter drops out or reads wrong
HighSymptoms: ECG, IBP, temperature, NIBP or CO intermittently drops or is implausible.
Root cause: Worn patient cable / connector, or a module input-board 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.
