Key tips
- ·Never bypass a radiation interlock to "just get the image" - this is one of the few true zero-tolerance rules in BMET work.
- ·Trend image-quality phantom results over time - drift shows up before an outright failure does.
- ·Portable/mobile units take real physical abuse from transport - check wheel locks and cable strain reliefs more often than fixed units.
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.
Pressure-channel drift / calibration fault
HighSymptoms: Pves / Pabd / Pdet baselines drift, will not zero, subtracted Pdet implausible, calibration fails.
Root cause: Pressure-transducer fault, a leaking / air-bubbled line, or a transducer-dome / stopcock fault.
Uroflow transducer fault
MediumSymptoms: Flow trace flat, noisy, or implausible, will not calibrate to a known volume.
Root cause: Worn weight-transducer / rotating-disc flowmeter, or debris.
Pump / infusion fault
MediumSymptoms: Fill rate inaccurate, pump will not run, infused-volume error.
Root cause: Peristaltic-pump wear or a control fault.
EMG / catheter-input fault
MediumSymptoms: EMG channel noisy or dead, catheter transducer not recognised.
Root cause: EMG lead set, or the amplifier / input board.
Amplifier-to-PC / software fault
LowSymptoms: Trace drops, amplifier not detected, study will not save or export.
Root cause: USB / link, driver, or the PC / software.

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.
- ·Daily QC per modality: image-quality phantom test
- ·Tube and detector inspection
- ·Annual state-required radiation safety survey
- ·Vendor-scheduled preventive maintenance
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: Pressure drift or subtraction implausible
- Zero all transducers to atmosphere at the reference level.
- Flush the lines and remove all air bubbles; check the stopcocks and domes.
- Do the cough test - Pves and Pabd spikes should match.
- Calibrate the pressure channels against a water column.
- Replace a transducer that will not hold calibration.
Symptom: Uroflow trace wrong
- Calibrate the flowmeter with a known poured volume / weight.
- Clean any splashing / debris from the transducer or funnel.
- Confirm the funnel and collection beaker are correctly set up.
- Replace the flow transducer if it will not calibrate.
- Re-verify with a known volume.
