TRUMPF SATURN Select
TRUMPF · Model SATURN Select
Flexible, whatever the requirement. Truly versatile, SATURN Select is ideally suited to everyday surgical work. The tabletop design and longitudinal slide of 250 mm (10) provide ideal access for the C-shaped frame, and optimally support intra-operative diagnoses. SATURN Select is approved for patients weighing up to 225 kg (500 lbs) (Maximum loads may vary depending on the patient´s position and OR table arrangement). A low-height version is available for laparoscopic bariatric surgery. The low and standard height versions are available with the additional options: longitudinal slide and longitudinal slide with integrated body elevator. Optimize and simplify work processes. The robust design of the SATURN Select makes it extremely easy to use. Pneumatic spring support adjustments to the backand leg sections enable the patient to be brought into the required position with minimal effort. The table column uses electro-mechanical motors that provide a high level of performance, precision, safety, and hygiene. Large double-swivel castors make SATURN Select extremely stable and enable it to be moved easily on soft or uneven floors. SATURN Select can be operated intuitively using a remote control. The main table functions are also available from the operating panel on the column.
Key tips
- ·Never defeat or bypass a return-electrode monitoring (REM) alarm to finish a case - it's a direct burn risk.
- ·Verify OR table battery backup - a table that loses power mid-procedure is a real, documented incident type.
- ·Track surgical light lamp-hours rather than waiting for failure - a sudden failure mid-case is avoidable.
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.
A powered function will not run
HighSymptoms: Height, tilt, Trendelenburg, back or leg section does not respond to the hand control / pendant.
Root cause: Hand control fault, an electro-hydraulic actuator, a control-board fault, or a low battery (mobile column).
Section drifts or will not hold
MediumSymptoms: Table settles under load after positioning.
Root cause: Hydraulic valve internal leak or an actuator backdrive.
Battery will not hold charge (mobile column)
MediumSymptoms: Short run time, table dies mid-procedure, battery alarm.
Root cause: Aged battery pack or a charger fault.
Hand control / pendant / cable fault
MediumSymptoms: Intermittent or dead hand control.
Root cause: Worn hand control or a damaged cable.
Table-top segment / rail / pad fault
LowSymptoms: Segments loose, accessory rails will not clamp, pads torn, radiolucent top damaged.
Root cause: Worn segment latches, rail clamps, or upholstery.

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.
- ·Pre-case functional check
- ·Electrosurgical return-electrode cable inspection
- ·Table hydraulic / mechanical inspection
- ·Annual electrical safety test and full PM
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: A powered function is dead
- Confirm the battery is charged or the table is on mains, and any lock-out is off.
- Operate the function and listen for the actuator / pump.
- Substitute a known-good hand control.
- Check the control cable for damage.
- Replace the actuator, valve or control board as isolated, then load-test.
Symptom: Section drifts down
- Note how fast it settles and under what load.
- Check the hydraulic valve for internal leakage and the actuator for backdrive.
- Bleed / top up the hydraulic system per the manual.
- Rebuild or replace the leaking valve / actuator.
- Confirm it holds at several positions under load.
