Schedule: Failure on the part of the responsible individual hospital or institution employing the use of 
this equipment to implement a satisfactory maintenance schedule may cause undue equipment failure 
and possible health hazards.

Contact: If you discover a problem with any of the equipment, contact your service personnel, Philips, 
or your authorized supplier.

You should perform a visual inspection before every use, and in accordance with your hospital’s policy. 
With the monitor switched off:

Examine unit exteriors for cleanliness and general physical condition. Make sure that the housings 
are not cracked or broken, that everything is present, that there are no spilled liquids and that there 
are no signs of abuse.

If the MMS and Server Extensions are mounted on the monitor, make sure that they are locked 
into place and do not slide out without releasing the locking mechanism.

Inspect all accessories (cables, transducers, sensors and so forth). If any show signs of damage, do 
not use.

Switch the monitor on and make sure the backlight is bright enough. Check that screen is at its full 
brightness. If the brightness is not adequate, contact your service personnel or your supplier.

Examine all system cables, the power plug and cord for damage. Make sure that the prongs of the 
plug do not move in the casing. If damaged, replace it with an appropriate Philips power cord.

Inspect the Measurement Server Link cable and ensure that it makes good connection with the 
MMS and the FMS. Make sure that there are no breaks in the insulation.

If the MMS is not mounted directly on the monitor, inspect the cable connecting it to the 
monitor. Make sure the connectors are properly engaged.
