BLOOD PRESSURE MEASUREMENT
• Do not allow the blood pressure cuff or hose to come into contact with
fluids. If this occurs, See “Cleaning“ of the devices’ Operations Manual
for drying instructions.
• Check the hose and cuff frequently for signs of damage or debris. An
obstruction in the hose may interfere with inflation and deflation, resulting
in inaccurate readings.
• To obtain accurate blood pressure readings, keep the limb and cuff
motionless.
• The blood pressure cuff should be at the same level as the patient’s
heart. If you cannot place the NIBP cuff at this level, add 1.4 mmHg to the
measured pressure values for each 2 cm above the heart level, or subtract
1.4 mmHg for each 2 cm below heart level.
• Blood pressure measurements may not be accurate if the patient is
convulsive or experiencing tremors.
• Check for kinks in the blood pressure hose if the device reports a
measurement problem.
Caution
• Read instructions provided with the sensor to understand the best
application technique and all relevant safety information.
• Do not apply the sensor on the same limb as the NIBP cuff. During blood
pressure measurements, the perfusion is temporarily reduced, which can
result in inaccurate pulse oximetry readings.
• Elevated levels of carboxyhemoglobin or methemoglobin can result in
inaccurate pulse oximetry readings.
• Bright light can create problems with the pulse oximetry measurements,
resulting in inaccurate readings. If the sensor is in a place where it may be
exposed to bright light, cover it with opaque material.
• Pulse oximetry readings may be inaccurate in the presence of excessive
motion artifact or tremors.

GENERAL TROUBLESHOOTING NOTES
As a general rule, it is good idea to power-cycle the device to see if a problem persists. The device has numerous self-checks that will continue to trigger if the issue persists.
It is often necessary to isolate a problem to a particular component – the device, the power supply, a patient sensor, etc. It is a good idea to swap in a “known-working” component
to see where a problem lies.
Conrm that Midmark-approved SpO2 sensors and temperature probe covers are being used.
The following table contains the error codes that may be encountered while operating the Digital Vital Signs Device or IQvitals® devices. All error codes will appear in separate
boxes similar to the image below. See the Troubleshooting section of this Service Manual for each code’s appropriate corrective action.
The Digital Vital Signs Device use an external mains power supply. Each device contains a rechargeable lithium ion battery that is automatically recharged when the device is
connected to mains.
The device’s power switch is on the front of the device. When the device is on, the on/off switch is lit green.
The Battery Charging Light is also on the front of the device. It indicates the charging status:
solid green: device is on mains power and battery is charged
blinking green: device is on mains power and battery is charging
off: device is not on mains power and battery is not charging
The Digital Vital Signs Device will run on battery power for approximately 8 hours (longer for the IQvitals® PC device). The battery takes about 4 hours to recharge from a fully
depleted state.
A “Battery Low“ message will be reported when the battery is nearly depleted (approximately 40% remaining battery power). The device automatically shuts itself off when the
battery is too low to function.
The battery should last for 2-3 years under normal use and can be replaced via a dedicated access door on the back of the device.

tolerance, check or replace: Valve Assembly (most likely), NIBP Manifold (possible), step-valve which is part of the Main Board (possible) or Pump (unlikely).
• Click Stop BP Cal when nished.
Note: All testing assumes a properly functional and calibrated test equipment. The device has been tested with the Fluke Biomedical BP Pump2
simulator. BP simulator behavior can vary from manufacturer to manufacturer.

Compare the Test Program reading to
the BP simulator for one minute once
the simulator reaches 200 mmHg.
• Set the BP Simulator to Pressure Gauge mode, and inate it to 200 mmHg.
• Wait 10 seconds for the pressure to stabilize. If the simulator does not have a built-in pump, then use a hand-bulb and calibrated manometer to inate it to 200 mmHg.
• Change the simulator setting, or use a hand-bulb to inate to 300 mmHg, and verify that the device releases pressure before reaching 300 mmHg.
• If pressure is not released before 300 mmHg, check the accuracy of the test xture. If this is OK, replace Main Board.
• Click Stop BP Cal when nished.

TP204 Rev. A
• For a touchscreen device, run the IQvitalsService Test Program.
• For an IQvitalsPC device, run the IQvitalspcService Test Program on a PC.
• Make sure that the SpO2 and BP codes in the Test Program display change from Code 302 to a numeric reading when connected (see pictures).
• Compare the SpO2 and PR readings in the Test Program to the 96% SpO2 and 75 PR on the SpO2 simulator display. There should be a difference of no greater than ±2%
for the SpO2 parameter and ±5 bpm for PR parameter
• If the readings are out of tolerance there may be a difference between the SpO2 simulator and the processing of the SpO2 signal.
• Conrm that the SpO2 sensor is properly aligned on the SpO2 simulator’s “nger“.
• If it is determined the SpO2 measurements are out of tolerance, replace Main Board.
Note: All testing assumes properly functional and calibrated test equipment. The device has been tested with the Fluke Biomedical “Index
2“ simulator. SpO2 simulator behavior can vary from manufacturer to manufacturer.
• Click Set Temp Monitor on the Test Program (see picture) to directly read the temperature of the probe tip.
• Place the temperature probe into water bath and check that the Test Program temperature is within ±0.3°F of the water bath.
• If temperature is out of tolerance check the accuracy of the test xture. If this is OK, replace the probe (most likely), I-O Board (possible), or Main Board (possible).
Before placing the Temperature
Probe into the Calibrated Water
Bath, click Set Temp Monitor.
