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.
Loss of augmentation / balloon-pressure or gas-loss alarm
HighSymptoms: Poor or no diastolic augmentation, abnormal balloon-pressure waveform, gas-loss / leak alarm.
Root cause: Balloon-catheter leak or kink, a loose connection, or low helium.
Trigger / timing fault
HighSymptoms: Pump not triggering or mistimed, inflation / deflation off the cardiac cycle.
Root cause: Poor ECG or arterial-pressure trigger (electrodes, cable, lead selection), or a timing issue.
Helium / pneumatic drive fault
MediumSymptoms: Autofill fails, cannot maintain balloon volume, drive alarm.
Root cause: Helium cylinder low, a solenoid / compressor fault, or a pneumatic leak.
Battery / display fault
MediumSymptoms: Short transport battery run time, unresponsive touchscreen.
Root cause: Aged battery packs or a display / control 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: Loss of augmentation
- Study the theory-of-operation section - most faults are identifiable from the device's own indicators.
- Check the balloon-pressure waveform for a leak or kink pattern.
- Inspect every connection from the console to the catheter.
- Confirm the helium level and run an autofill.
- If a balloon leak is suspected, follow the protocol to stop pumping and notify the care team immediately.
Symptom: Trigger / timing problem
- Select the ECG lead with the best R wave or use arterial-pressure trigger.
- Re-prep skin and fit fresh ECG electrodes; check the cable.
- Adjust inflation / deflation timing to the arterial waveform.
- Confirm the assist ratio.
- Refer the console if triggering fails with good inputs.
