GenesisBPS Blood Collection Monitor
GenesisBPS · Model Blood Collection Monitor
Electronically monitors and measures blood flow and volume. Automatically clamps tubing when target volume is achieved. Rechargeable battery provides up to 50 hours of service. Automatic weight calibration. Automatically tares collection bag. Audible & visual alarms. Mix reminder alarm. Slow bleed alarm. Conserves battery with automatic shut off after 30 minutes of idle time.
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.
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.
Inaccurate collected-volume / weight
HighSymptoms: Displayed volume does not match the actual collected weight, will not tare / zero.
Root cause: Load-cell drift or damage, a binding cradle, or a calibration fault.
Mixing / rocking mechanism fault
MediumSymptoms: The rocker does not agitate the bag, uneven or no motion, motor noise.
Root cause: Worn rocker drive / motor or linkage.
Flow-rate / clamp fault
MediumSymptoms: Auto clamp does not close at target volume or on slow flow, flow-rate alarm.
Root cause: Tubing-clamp solenoid / mechanism, or a flow-detection fault.
Alarm / audio fault
MediumSymptoms: No or quiet end-of-collection or slow-flow alarm.
Root cause: Speaker or audio-board fault.
Battery / power fault
LowSymptoms: Short battery life, will not power on.
Root cause: 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.
- ·Routine cable and lead-wire inspection for fraying/wear
- ·Battery conditioning cycle
- ·NIBP calibration check against a reference manometer
- ·ECG / SpO2 accuracy verification against a patient simulator
- ·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: Inaccurate volume / weight
- Level the unit and confirm nothing binds the cradle.
- Zero / tare with the empty bag.
- Check with certified test weights across the range.
- Calibrate per the service manual.
- Replace the load cell if it will not calibrate.
Symptom: Mixing / clamp fault
- Watch the rocker through a full stroke for uneven or absent motion.
- Inspect the rocker drive / linkage.
- Test the auto clamp closes at the set volume and on a slow-flow simulation.
- Replace the rocker drive or clamp mechanism as isolated.
- Verify the end-of-collection alarm.
