Troubleshooting and Maintenance
5. The Pulse Search indicator lights after successful
measurements have been made.
• Check the patient.
• Perfusion may be too low for the NPB-290 to track the
pulse. 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. 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.
6. The letters EEE, followed by a number, appear on the
display.
• This is an error code. To confirm, press the Power
On/Off button to turn the monitor off, then press the
button again to turn it back on. If the display shows the
error code once again, record the number and provide that
information to qualified service personnel, or your local
Mallinckrodt representative.
• Error Code “EEE 4” is displayed when the battery is
discharged to a critically low level. Check to ensure that
the voltage selector switch on the rear panel is set to the
proper voltage for your location.
• Turn the monitor off and let it charge for about 10
minutes and then turn the unit back on. If the error code
is still present, turn the unit off and let it continue to
charge. If the monitor has been charged for 30 minutes
and the error code is still present, notify service
personnel.
