AcQMap
ACUTUS MEDICAL, INC. · Model 800604
AcQMap Auxiliary Interface Box, Console 2.0.
Intended use: A small unit dedicated to making communication possible between the patient monitoring system and other independent devices (e.g., ventilator, infusion pump, gas analyser, display monitors) connected to the same patient, creating an interface. It is designed to operate as part of a patient monitoring system enhancing the function of this system (the parent device) by providing connection between disparate devices. It may also be known as a medical information bus protocol.
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 / charge-density map will not build
HighSymptoms: Noisy or missing catheter signals, ultrasound-derived chamber geometry incomplete, map fails.
Root cause: AcQMap catheter (ultrasound transducers / electrodes) contact or damage, a patient-cable / junction-box fault, or amplifier noise.
Localisation / reference fault
MediumSymptoms: Catheter or surface-patch localisation drifts, geometry distorts.
Root cause: Surface reference patches poorly applied, or a localisation-field / patch-box fault.
Workstation / software fault
MediumSymptoms: Application hangs, map export fails, will not start 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 / geometry
- Confirm catheter contact and inspect the catheter for damage.
- Reseat the catheter at the junction box.
- Re-apply the surface reference patches on clean, dry skin.
- 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 software if it will not launch.
- Check the display and network outputs to the EP system.
- Contact Acutus support with the error.
