Troubleshooting and Maintenance
• Do not use the NPB-290; contact qualified service
personnel or your local Mallinckrodt representative.
3. The monitor does not sound a tone indicating successful
completion of POST.
• The monitor has failed the power-on self-test. Do not use
the monitor. This tone not only indicates the successful
completion of POST, but it confirms that the audible
alarm is functional. Contact qualified service personnel
or your local Mallinckrodt representative.
4. The Pulse Search indicator is lit for more than 10 seconds
while the sensor is connected to the patient.
• Check the sensor directions for use to determine if an
appropriate sensor is being used and if it is applied
properly. Check sensor and extension cable connections.
Test the sensor on someone else. Try another sensor or
extension cable.
• Perfusion may be too low for the NPB-290 to track the
pulse. Check the patient. Test the instrument on
someone else. Change the sensor site. Try another type
of sensor.
• Excessive patient motion may be preventing the
NPB-290 from tracking the pulse. Keep the patient still,
if possible. Verify that the sensor is securely applied, and
replace it if necessary. Change the sensor site. Use a
type of sensor that tolerates more patient movement (for
example, an adhesive sensor).
• The sensor may be too tight, there may be excessive
ambient light, or the sensor may be on an extremity with
a blood pressure cuff, arterial catheter, or intravascular
line. Reposition sensor, as necessary.
• Excessive environmental motion or electromagnetic
interference may be preventing the NPB-290 from
tracking the pulse. Remove the source of interference or
try to stabilize the environment, or do both.
