gas supply, Check
for leaks
Sampled gas supply does not
have 100% O
2
present when
compared to room air O
2.
Verify the O
2
supply. Allow the
analyzer to warm up for at least
30-minutes before attempting a
100% O
2
span.
Yes
Air leak in external sample circuit. Check water trap, gas analyzer
filter, and sample lines for air
leaks. Replace all leaking
components.
Yes
Air leak in internal sample circuit. Perform a unit leak test. Service
may be required.
Yes
External/internal pressures may
be out of operating range or
measurement of the pressures
has failed.
Check that the cell pressure in
SERVICE CAL MODE is between
525-825 mmHg. If the cell
pressure is greater than the
barometric pressure, external
sample circuit is over pressured,
adjust circuit.
Yes
O

cell linearity error. Contact your Biomed or your
Spacelabs Medical service
representative.
Yes
O
2
concentration may be more
than 23% or less than 19% in
vicinity of the analyzer.
Check the room air around the
analyzer for high O
2
concentrations. Successful
completion of O
2
span is not
possible under this condition.
Yes
Repeat 100% O2 SPAN (refer to
To span calibrate O2 sensor with
100% O2 on page 22-20). Contact
a qualified service person if the
span fails again after the above
checks.
