Hammarplast Medical AB Scandmed 400-40
Hammarplast Medical AB · Model Scandmed 400-40
Fast inflation and deflation. Battery back-up system automatically engages if C current is interrupted. Powerful microprocessor monitors and gives alarms visually and audible for possible hazardous conditions for the patient. Clear display where figures and letters can be seen from anywhere in the O.R. Totally self contained. Alarms include too low and too high pressure, low battery capacity, leaks and kinks. Automatic start-up test where all critical components like pump, valves, PDM board, alarms, volume of sound etc are checked in a matter of a couple of seconds. The result is shown on the display with an OK sign and the preset pressure. Automatic timer which signals the user on the display and with a short 2 seconds beep after 30 minutes and then every 15 minutes up to 3 hours. The volume of the sound can be adjusted. The timer starts automatically when the cuff is inflated and stops when the cuff is deflated. Computerized memory of the latest surgical procedures. The result can be printed out with a PC and printer. Easy to clean and glare resistant. A sturdy, durable and solid housing in stainless steel and aluminum.
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 cuff pressure
HighSymptoms: Pressure droops during a case, will not inflate to setpoint, leak alarm.
Root cause: Internal pump / compressor wear, a solenoid-valve fault, or a leak in the tubing / cuff / connectors.
Pressure inaccuracy / calibration drift
HighSymptoms: Displayed pressure differs from an independent gauge - patient-safety critical.
Root cause: Pressure-transducer drift or a calibration fault.
Dual-channel / bilateral fault
MediumSymptoms: One channel will not regulate independently, cross-talk between channels.
Root cause: Channel solenoid / transducer or a manifold fault.
Alarm / timer fault
MediumSymptoms: Inflation-time alarm not sounding, timer wrong.
Root cause: Alarm / timer board fault - a safety function.
Tubing / connector / cuff fault
MediumSymptoms: Leak at the connector, cuff will not hold.
Root cause: Worn tubing, connectors, or a damaged cuff.

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
- Fit known-good tubing and a known-good cuff.
- Occlude the outlet and confirm the pump holds pressure.
- Check the solenoid / regulator valve.
- Verify displayed pressure against a calibrated reference gauge across the range.
- Rebuild / replace the pump, valve or transducer as isolated.
Symptom: Pressure reads inaccurately
- Tee in a calibrated gauge and compare at several set pressures.
- Run the calibration procedure per the service manual.
- Confirm both channels on a dual unit.
- Confirm the inflation-time alarm sounds.
- Do not use the tourniquet clinically until pressure accuracy is confirmed.
