Medical Measurement Systems Solar Smart
Medical Measurement Systems · Model Solar Smart
Solar Smart is a compact moveable system offering all tools needed for cost-effective urodynamic and pelvic floor investigations. This slim diagnostic system requires little space and can easily be moved near to the patient. All standard urodynamic investigations are available. It is easy to use, with standard protocols guiding you through the investigations. A database enables easy entry and retrieval of patient demographics. The complete investigation can be done by only one medical assistant pushing the four buttons on the infrared remote control. The Solar Smart can easily be adapted to both your current situation and your future requirements such as gynecology study, anorectal manometry, biofeedback, neuro-urology, video-urodynamics and network capabilities.
Key tips
- ·Electrode impedance drives data quality more than almost any other single factor - check it before assuming an amplifier fault.
- ·Pre-case verification of intraoperative monitoring equipment isn't optional - a mid-case failure has direct surgical-decision consequences.
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.
- ·Electrode / lead impedance check
- ·Amplifier calibration
- ·Annual electrical safety test
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.
