Maintenance Checks

Before commencing monitoring on a patient, carry out the following checks on the system:

•Check for any mechanical damage

•Check all the external leads, plug-ins and accessories

•Check all the functions of the instrument which will be needed to monitor the patient, and ensure that the instrument is in good working order.

Do not use the system for any monitoring procedure on a patient

if you identify features which demonstrate impaired functioning of the instrument. Contact the hospital biomedical engineer or the Philips Service Engineer.
