Complaint summary: the biomedical engineer (bme) reported that the multiple patient receiver (org) was showing a communication loss at the central nurse station for their telemetry transmitter (teles).The bme stated that when they went to the org, they noticed the error led light was on.The error led light goes from a flashing light to a solid light (back and forth).The bme rebooted the org, but the issue persisted.This issue was discovered while in use but, the tele's are back up due to the customer having a loaner unit at their facility.No patient harm was reported.The biomedical engineer requested to send the unit for repair.Investigation summary: nk repair center (rc) evaluated the unit on 10/24/2023 and duplicated the complaint.The error led was flashing on.No physical damage or fluid intrusion observed.Nk rc initialized the unit and checked the transmissions and reception.No problems were observed during the extended testing period.A definitive root cause could not be determined since communication loss was not observed during evaluation.Review of the complaint device's serial number shows a previous occurrence in which we were able to duplicate the complaint and repair the device by initializing the unit.Possible causes may include incompatible software versions between the org and cns, or user error with the org's network settings such as incorrect network communication protocol.The customer should ensure devices within the patient monitoring network are on compatible software versions and on the same net protocol setting.A possible cause of the error light may be related to the backup ram which stores system settings.The org-9100 service manual recommends initialization to troubleshoot error lights related to the backup ram.Memory processing components may become corrupt due to ungraceful shutdown, power outages, or user error while upgrading software.Review of the complaint device's serial number does not show recurrence since the unit was sent back to the customer.The following field(s) contain no information (ni), as attempts to obtain information were made, but not provided: attempt # 1: 08/25/2023 emailed the customer via microsoft outlook for patient information: no reply was received.Attempt # 2: 08/28/2023 emailed the customer via microsoft outlook for patient information: no reply was received.Attempt # 3: 09/18/2023 emailed the customer via microsoft outlook for patient information: no reply was received.
