Case 2:

Medical device:

Make: Hewlett-Packard
Figure 7 –  This image shows the front panel of the HP_CodeMaster_XL+
Model: CodeMaster XL+
Serial Number: US00010863-Demo
Applied part type: CF
Certified by: UL & CSA

Device problem:

Patient relay drive failure

Before taking any steps of repair or troubleshooting, it is recommended to Localizing the fault in the assembly level. Take the following steps while using the HP_CodeMaster XL+ service manual as your reference guide.

When the defibrillator is OFF follow the steps below.

Step 1: Move the “Energy Select” Knob from “Off (Standby)” to “Monitor On” while Pressing and holding the “HR Alarm” and “Syns” keys simultaneously. (figure 8)

Figure 8: This image shows the front control panel of the HP_CodeMaster_XL+ defibrillator

Step 2: From the following diagnostic menu select the PRINT LOG test.

Step 3: Select the “PRINT LOG” from the menu. Print the error log to see if it contains an error code. (figure 9 and 10)

Figure 9: This image shows a System Log print out. The Error Code is indicated in this image
Figure 10: This image shows the details information of the System Log print out

The system log shows the ERROR CODE “440”.

Step 4: Check the troubleshooting table of service manual for the “ERROR COD 440”, the manufacturer recommended possible solutions would be replacing either the patient relay (if the coil resistance outside the nominal range of 3 Ohms ± 1), high voltage board, or control board.

A patient relay drive failure was detected. 1-  Check patient relay coil resistance, if outside nominal range, (3 Ohms ±1) replace patient relay.

2-  Replace high voltage board

3-  Replace control board

Step 5: Turn off the defibrillator, remove the battery and disassemble the device for replacing the high voltage board.
