RhythmView
Abbott · Model 2000
RhythmView Workstation, US.
Intended use: An assembly of devices designed to measure, process, and store electronic data for the interpretation of cardiac physiological parameters received from the output of connected measuring devices (e.g., body surface or intracardiac electrocardiograph (ECG) sensors, transducers, and catheters). The measurements can be compared to pre-established diagnostic criteria for parameters such as cardiac blood flow, electrical conduction, or heart chamber geometry. It typically consists of dedicated workstation, hardware and software that display real-time, three-dimensional (3-D) cardiac maps (e.g., electrical propagation, electrical potential, and cardiac chamber geometry maps), and a catheter.
Key tips
- ·When no category-specific guidance fits, default to the manufacturer's own service manual and the general troubleshooting method in the Engineer's Guide.
- ·Run an incoming and annual electrical safety test regardless of how niche the device is.
Typical Failure Modes
Compiled for this model from its own documentation and established engineering knowledge for this equipment class - not from a verified service record. Confirm against the manufacturer's service manual.
No or poor mapping signal
HighSymptoms: Basket / catheter electrograms noisy, missing channels, or the map will not build.
Root cause: Basket catheter electrode contact / damage, a patient-cable / junction-box fault, or amplifier input noise.
Patient interface / junction-box fault
MediumSymptoms: Whole groups of channels drop, connector not recognised.
Root cause: Worn junction box or patient cable connector.
Workstation / software fault
MediumSymptoms: Application hangs, map export fails, will not launch a case.
Root cause: Workstation PC or software fault.
Display / recording-system integration fault
LowSymptoms: No map to the EP recording system or the lab displays.
Root cause: Video / network output fault.

PM Checklist
Preventive-maintenance tasks typical of this equipment class. Perform to the manufacturer's procedure and your facility's policy - this is general reference, not a schedule for this specific unit.
- ·Follow the manufacturer's PM schedule
- ·Perform incoming and annual electrical safety testing per facility biomedical program
Troubleshooting Approach
A starting sequence for this model, compiled from its documentation and engineering knowledge for this equipment class. Follow the manufacturer's service documentation for the actual procedure.
Symptom: Poor mapping signal
- Confirm basket electrode contact and inspect the catheter for damage.
- Reseat the catheter at the junction box.
- Swap in a known-good patient cable / junction box.
- Check for EMI in the lab and the workstation grounding.
- Replace the catheter or cable as isolated.
Symptom: Software / workstation fault
- Restart the workstation.
- Confirm the case data and licensing.
- Reinstall or repair the RhythmView software if it will not launch.
- Check the display and network outputs to the EP system.
- Contact Abbott support with the error.
