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.
Will not reach or hold set joint / cavity pressure
HighSymptoms: Pressure droops or overshoots, poor distension, pressure or flow alarm.
Root cause: Pump-head / roller wear, a pressure-sensor fault, a leak in the tubing / inflow-outflow, or a blocked cannula.
Tubing / cassette-detection fault
MediumSymptoms: Cassette / tubing not recognised, will not prime, leaks at the pump head.
Root cause: Cassette-detection switch or worn pump-head seals.
Outflow / suction-control fault
MediumSymptoms: Poor outflow, cannot clear debris, outflow alarm.
Root cause: Outflow pump / valve or a blocked suction line.
Shaver / handpiece fault (shaver systems)
MediumSymptoms: Blade will not oscillate / rotate, weak cut, handpiece not recognised, footswitch dead.
Root cause: Worn shaver handpiece / motor, or its cable / footswitch.
Display / control fault
LowSymptoms: Unresponsive touchscreen or keys, will not power on.
Root cause: Display / control board or power supply.

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: Will not hold set pressure / poor distension
- Fit a fresh tubing set / cassette and re-prime.
- Confirm the inflow and outflow cannulae are patent and connections are tight.
- Run the pump self-test and verify the set pressure against a gauge if possible.
- Inspect the pump-head rollers / seals for wear.
- Replace the pump head or pressure sensor as isolated.
Symptom: Shaver will not run (shaver systems)
- Swap the shaver handpiece and cable.
- Check the footswitch and its connection.
- Confirm the console recognises the handpiece.
- Test forward / reverse / oscillate modes.
- Replace the handpiece or refer the console output as isolated.
