Why does the TRIM indicator flash red-green-blue when the BioPak oxygen cylinder is opened?
As soon as the oxygen cylinder of the BioPak is opened the resulting pressure in the pneumatics system will automatically turn on the electronic monitoring system. Every time the electronic monitoring system starts the software will run a self-diagnostic test to verify that all cables are properly connected to the monitor, that the TRIM indicator is functioning properly, that the horn is functioning properly and that there is sufficient battery life for a minimum 6-hour operation. At any time the TRIM indicator does not flash the red-green-blue light sequence and the horn does not provide a short chirp at start up, the user should doff the BioPak and request service on the monitor. Additionally, should the monitor detect any fault, the TRIM indicator will continue with the red-green-blue flashes to signal the user of the fault. The user should not use any BioPak in which the TRIM indicator is indicating a fault.
