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.
