Cardinal Health Pulse Wave® System
Cardinal Health · Model Pulse Wave® System
Compact, quiet pump delivers gentle pulsating. Variable flow settings are easily adjusted from low to high. A complete array of probes provides clinical versatility- Probes can be interchanged in a matter of seconds. Soft, drapable, conjoined tubing helps prevent coiling within the surgical field. Plug- in cassette allows for quick and easy setup and takedown. Universal compatibility with existing fluid bags and suction canisters increases cost effectiveness.
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.
Will not reach or hold set joint / cavity pressure
HighSymptoms: Pressure droops or overshoots, poor distension, pressure or flow alarm.
Root cause: Pump-head / roller wear, a pressure-sensor fault, a leak in the tubing / inflow-outflow, or a blocked cannula.
Tubing / cassette-detection fault
MediumSymptoms: Cassette / tubing not recognised, will not prime, leaks at the pump head.
Root cause: Cassette-detection switch or worn pump-head seals.
Outflow / suction-control fault
MediumSymptoms: Poor outflow, cannot clear debris, outflow alarm.
Root cause: Outflow pump / valve or a blocked suction line.
Shaver / handpiece fault (shaver systems)
MediumSymptoms: Blade will not oscillate / rotate, weak cut, handpiece not recognised, footswitch dead.
Root cause: Worn shaver handpiece / motor, or its cable / footswitch.
Display / control fault
LowSymptoms: Unresponsive touchscreen or keys, will not power on.
Root cause: Display / control board or power supply.

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: Will not hold set pressure / poor distension
- Fit a fresh tubing set / cassette and re-prime.
- Confirm the inflow and outflow cannulae are patent and connections are tight.
- Run the pump self-test and verify the set pressure against a gauge if possible.
- Inspect the pump-head rollers / seals for wear.
- Replace the pump head or pressure sensor as isolated.
Symptom: Shaver will not run (shaver systems)
- Swap the shaver handpiece and cable.
- Check the footswitch and its connection.
- Confirm the console recognises the handpiece.
- Test forward / reverse / oscillate modes.
- Replace the handpiece or refer the console output as isolated.
