Inspecting the Equipment and Accessories

You should perform a visual inspection before every use, and in accordance with your hospital’s policy. With the monitor switched off:

1Examine unit exteriors for cleanliness and general physical condition. Make sure that the housings are not cracked or broken, that everything is present, that there are no spilled liquids and that there are no signs of abuse.

2If the MMS and Server Extensions are mounted on the monitor, make sure that they are locked into place and do not slide out without releasing the locking mechanism.

3Inspect all accessories (cables, transducers, sensors and so forth). If any show signs of damage, do not use.

4Switch the monitor on and make sure the backlight is bright enough. Check that screen is at its full brightness. If the brightness is not adequate, contact your service personnel or your supplier.

Inspecting the Cables and Cords

1Examine all system cables, the power plug and cord for damage. Make sure that the prongs of the plug do not move in the casing. If damaged, replace it with an appropriate Philips power cord.

2Inspect the Measurement Server Link cable and ensure that it makes good connection with the MMS and the FMS. Make sure that there are no breaks in the insulation.

3If the MMS is not mounted directly on the monitor, inspect the cable connecting it to the monitor. Make sure the connectors are properly engaged.
