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.
Poor or no IVUS image / FFR signal
HighSymptoms: Noisy, dim or absent intravascular image, or an unstable / drifting FFR pressure.
Root cause: Imaging catheter / pressure wire damage, a patient-interface-module (PIM) fault, or an acquisition-engine fault.
Pullback drive fault (IVUS)
MediumSymptoms: Automated pullback does not run at the set rate, stalls, or the distance is wrong.
Root cause: Pullback motor / sled or the PIM coupling.
Catheter / wire recognition or connection fault
MediumSymptoms: System does not recognise the device, calibration / normalisation fails.
Root cause: PIM connector wear or a damaged catheter / wire hub.
Workstation / display / cath-lab integration fault
MediumSymptoms: No image to the boom monitor, angio co-registration misaligns, export fails.
Root cause: Video routing, network, or workstation fault.

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: Poor or no image / FFR signal
- Connect a new catheter / pressure wire and repeat normalisation / calibration.
- Inspect the PIM connector for wear or contamination.
- Run the system diagnostics.
- Confirm adequate flush for IVUS acquisition.
- Escalate a confirmed PIM or acquisition-engine fault to Philips.
Symptom: Pullback drive fault
- Confirm the catheter is fully seated in the PIM / sled.
- Run a pullback on the bench / test fixture if available.
- Check the set pullback rate and distance.
- Replace the PIM / sled if the drive stalls or the distance is inaccurate.
- Verify a clean pullback before clinical use.
