Looking at alternatives to BD T34/Bodyguard T.

Any suggestions?

After all these years I'm wondering if the situation has changed in any way for the better?

I live in hope!

For completeness, here here is the other (related) thread.

Who knows the reason(s) ... internal politics, tradition ("that's the way we've always done it"), vested interests, "closed shops", ignorance (especially regarding government regulations and/or official guidelines), pressure from manufacturers and suppliers ... etc., etc.

In my own "adventures" I've always tried to steer clear of all that stuff, and retreat back into the Real World of volts, ohms, pressure (psi), kilohertz, megabytes et al ... even mathematics when necessary; not to mention pounds/dollars/riyals and hours/days/weeks. Logic and simplification (that is:- "think simple") has generally seen me through OK.

I'm also reminded that in the lab(s), a few too many milliohms on a mains cable is nothing compared with the other risks (that is health risks to staff, including the biomed) that usually lurk in there.

You need to press the alarm silence AND the rotary knob at the same for 10 -15 seconds until a confirmation window will pop up asking you to confirm you wish to calibrate the touchscreen. then press the X points as they appear.

Hi friends,
FSElib.com have many documents of Toshiba training, all complete guide in ppt.

Must be one of the pots ... be careful!

Have you been able to find out what happens at the various test points?

Also ... can you rely on the accuracy of the monitor? I suppose you have checked both monitor and simulator with other simulators and monitors?

Lastly (and by the way) ... are results consistent across the different ECG amplitudes? And what does the square wave output give in terms of accuracy?

Hello

I have 4x Accora PSUs that were delivered to us in error - the company said to keep these or dispose of.

They are:

Product Code: KITCAB-0-CM1-200.

Free to anyone that wants them, either they can collect or organise collection.

Drop me a message if more information required.

this manual is available in fselib.com

this manual is avaiable in fselib.com

Many of these manuals are available at fselib.com. I ask that you also share manuals there for our community.

Hey EBME community,

First off — massive respect for what this forum represents. The amount of times a thread here has saved me hours of troubleshooting, or pointed me toward a document I couldn't find anywhere else... it's genuinely invaluable. This community works because people choose to share, and that matters.

But I want to honest about something: we're still leaving a lot on the table.
How many of us have service manuals, technical bulletins, error code references, or calibration procedures sitting in a folder on our desktop that nobody else can access? How many times have you solved a tricky fault on a GE, Philips, Siemens or Canon unit and thought "I should write that up somewhere" — and never did, because there was nowhere obvious to put it?

The knowledge exists. It's just scattered. And every time a newer tech walks into a fault we've already solved, they start from zero because we never connected the dots.
I've been using a platform called FSELIB (fselib.com) that I think deserves attention here. It's built specifically for biomedical and imaging field engineers — not a generic cloud drive, not a Reddit thread — a structured, searchable hub for service documentation covering the equipment we actually work on day to day.
What I want to highlight for this community specifically:

- The forum and community manual sharing hub are 100% free — no subscription needed to participate, contribute, or access what others have shared
- Built around the modalities we know: MRI, CT, mammography, densitometry, ultrasound
- Organized by OEM and model, so you're not digging through noise to find what you need
- Paid tiers exist for deeper curated content, but the community layer — the part powered by us — costs nothing

The ask is simple: if you have documentation you're willing to share, this is a proper place to put it. Not just a reply in a thread that gets buried, but a permanent, organized contribution that helps every tech who comes after you.
We've built an incredible knowledge base informally across forums like this one. Imagine what that looks like when it's structured, searchable, and centralized.

FSELIB isn't trying to replace communities like EBME — it's trying to give us the infrastructure we've always deserved.

Check it out, contribute what you can, and let's make this work for all of us.

This is a PCB that I replaced before, and I forgot a bit. I'm not sure if it's TC35, but I can confirm that it must be the PCB of Philips' electrocardiogram machine

Thanks for that Diego ... there's some good stuff on there.

Any update on this issue?

Good morning with the closure of Novacor Uk we have been trying to contact Novacor France with no success
Has anybody else managed to be in contact with them or can advise where they now send their Novacor products for repair and service Many thankis
