Symptoms

Calibration: Operating temperatures patient safety

Verify and adjust temperature management unit calibration against independent test device; required every 6 months or 500 hours of use or when service is performed.

Ranked causes

1. Temperature offset drift from calibration (unknown)

First check

Warm unit to ambient temperature if stored below 20°C

Test point: Unit environment
Expected: Ambient temperature ≥20°C

Fault Code 053 caution

Fault code generated when automatic testers are used for service procedures instead of manual testing.

Ranked causes

1. Automatic tester used during service procedures (unknown)

First check

Verify manual testing procedure is used throughout service

Test point: Service procedure compliance
Expected: No automatic test equipment used
