The FLOW COUPLER Monitor is a pulsed Doppler ultrasound system designed for the detection of blood flow in vessels.
Intended use: A mains electricity (AC-powered) external device, which may include internal rechargeable batteries, intended to be used to indicate (visually and/or sonically) blood flow in a peripheral blood vessel, through connection to a dedicated probe/catheter (not included), using ultrasound/Doppler/transit time technology. It may be intended to locate and assess the extent of vascular flow restriction (e.g., clots, stenosis, mechanical damage) or to monitor blood flow in association with microvascular surgery.
Failure patterns typical of this equipment class - general BMET reference, not verified against this exact unit's own service history unless flagged. Severity is a category-level estimate.
Symptoms: Dropout, dead elements, image banding.
Root cause: Element delamination or cable damage from repeated use.
Symptoms: Intermittent image loss, connector-wiggle artifact.
Root cause: Repeated flexing and connector strain.
Symptoms: Frozen console, acquisition timeout.
Root cause: Workstation or storage degradation.
Symptoms: Dim image, color shift, dead pixels.
Root cause: Backlight or LCD panel aging.
