Troubleshooting Flashcards
How many digits make up the error code
6
Error severity level 1
Indictates an easy to resolve problem, keep going
Error level 2
Non-locking error1. retry2. ignore3. cancel and re-start
Error level 3
Locking error, must stop procedure
What does the second number mean in the error code
Used by tech support to know which phase the error occured
last 4 number error code
Needed to be recorded and shared with EDAP after the procedure
Error 1102
Probe tempterature is too high
resolve probe temperture too high
- pump is running2. fokal pac head/circulation pump close around tube3. no tubing is clamped4. ablasonic fluid leaking
Error 1101
Probe temp too low
Probe temp too low troubleshooting steps
insert and allow the body to warn to target
Error 1202
Patient moved
resolve patient movement error
Check reflector to make sure it isnt coveredmodify contours
Error 1302
Distance from the wall to the probe is greater than 4 mm
Error 1303
Distance from wall to probe is between 1-4 cm, system will try autocatch up
Wall position error where the first measurement is less than the second numbert
probe too close to rectal wall
Wall/probe position error, 1st number greater than 3rd
Probe too far from wall
Causes of error 1302/1303 6
- patient moved2. us image too light/dark3. artifacts in balloon4. rectum not clean5. balloon burst6. ballon not adhering to rectum
Resolve error 1302 or 1303 5
- remove any artifects from balloon2. low difference, press retry 3 times3. determine if probe is too far/short4. patient movement, re-do localization5. Change balloon
Error 1450
Key is pressed on keyboard or probe
Error 1601
Communication problem with US
Resolve error 1601
- check green light2. if off, turn on3. if on call service
Error 1604
Probe cannot be unblocked
Resolve error 1604
check/re-connect image connector and ensure US probe is locked
Error 1607
US probe disconnected
Error 1901
Incorrect Focal Pak code
Error 1902
Focal Pak already used
What is the duration of the Focal Pak after probe insertion is validated
5 Hours
Error 1903
Focal Pak expired
Error 5003
Emergency stop depressed
If patient moves during scanning, course of action
redefine UL/LL
Steps to adjust orange line to the rectum if not synced
- increase/decrease Ablasonic Fluid2. Move probe transverse3. Correct patient positioning
Causes “fleeing”:
Shoulders are not pushed inwareds and parrellel to the long axis of the table
What is fleeing
the organge line moves away from the rectum
Min distance from the probe to the wall
23 mm
Hyperchoic is id’ed by what color
white
Intrinsic phenomenom when micro bubbles are formed and seen on US
Cavitation
Actions in case of cavitation
Pause and wait for the bubbles to clear
Process after recieving warning
- Read2. document3. Make corrections4. Abort5. Inform Focal One
4 ways to tell if the patient moved or reflector isn’t properly positioned
- No reflection2. Blue light off3. Error4. Procedure will not progress
what are the 3 types of cavitation
popcorn, foggy, barrier
White clouyds in the treatment area
Popcorn
Can’t ID limits between prostate and other strcutures
Foggy
What casues fogging
accumulation of energy
Barrier cavidation
happens after fogging and the rectal wall thickness increases
