Medical Measurement Systems Solar Blue
Medical Measurement Systems · Model Solar Blue
Small - Solar Blue requires very little space. It can be used as a table-top system but it can also be mounted on an investigation chair, a robust purpose-designed pole, or a wall. The result is a 100% set-up versatility and maximum convenience for physician, nurse, and patient. Wireless - Solar Blue is the only 100% wireless Bluetooth® urodynamic system currently available. Wireless between Solar Blue base unit and: flowmeter, UPP puller, remote control and computer. The Solar Blue base unit runs on rechargeable batteries. Result: no more cables, easy movement, more space and simple cleaning of individual modules. Easy - Solar Blue software is highly intuitive and logical, requiring minimal training. Includes an efficient patient database for easy storage and retrieval of investigation data. A purpose-designed remote control enables the investigator to stay close to the patient. Using just 4 buttons, the complete urodynamic examination can be carried out by 1 person. This shortens examination time, improves quality of the urodynamic investigation and provides greater patient privacy.
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 will not zero / reads wrong
HighSymptoms: Vesical, abdominal or detrusor pressure offset, will not zero, implausible traces.
Root cause: Transducer not open to atmosphere / not at the correct reference during zero, a damaged transducer / dome, or an amplifier fault.
Infusion pump / fill-rate fault
MediumSymptoms: Filling volume inaccurate, pump will not run at the set rate, occlusion alarm.
Root cause: Peristaltic pump rollers / tubing, or a pump-drive fault.
Uroflow / flowmeter fault
MediumSymptoms: Flow trace noisy, zero drift, weight / rotating-disc flowmeter inaccurate.
Root cause: Flowmeter load cell / disc, or a calibration fault.
EMG / patient-cable fault
MediumSymptoms: Noisy or absent pelvic-floor EMG.
Root cause: Electrode contact / cable or the EMG amplifier.
Workstation / software fault
LowSymptoms: Software hangs, study will not save or export.
Root cause: Workstation PC or software 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: Pressure will not zero / reads wrong
- Open the transducer to atmosphere at the correct reference level and re-zero.
- Flush the line and dome; clear any air.
- Swap in a known-good transducer / dome.
- Verify against a water column (known cmH2O).
- Replace the transducer or refer the amplifier.
Symptom: Fill-rate / flow inaccurate
- Check the pump tubing segment and rollers.
- Calibrate the infusion pump against a measured volume.
- Calibrate the uroflow flowmeter with a known volume / rate.
- Replace worn pump tubing / rollers.
- Re-verify fill and flow accuracy.
