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.
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.
- ·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: 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.
