If this happens, simply perform the usual checks and repeat the test. 2.10 Service & Warranty Huntleigh Healthcare's standard terms and conditions apply to all sales. These contain full details of warranty terms and do not limit the statutory rights of the consumer. A copy is available on request.
This document is not intended as a full diagnostic tool because many of the boards and modules cannot be satisfactorily repaired in the field and must be returned to Huntleigh Healthcare if faulty. If any warranty claim is intended then it is important to ensure that any security seals are intact on the items to be returned if the warranty is not to be invalidated.
Initial Unit Set-Up 4 Initial Unit Set-Up On delivery of a new unit the battery will not be connected. Prior to performance testing the battery will need to be connected and conditioned. The conditioning routine will automatically operate when the dopplex Ability is switched on for the first time.
Product Description 5 Product Description It is intended to be used on all patients considered to be at risk of having, or developing peripheral arterial disease (PAD). Dopplex Ability is intended for the rapid measurement of ankle-brachial pressure index (ABPI) or ankle-brachial index (ABI) in adults and pulse volume recording (PVR) / volume plethysmography.

System Block Diagram 6 System Block Diagram Sensor Signals Solenoids Reset Solenoid control Pump control Overcurrent signal Linear Valves Charging On-off control Power up sequencing System power rails The unit is divided into six main assemblies: 771402-2 dopplex ABIlity Service Manual...
System Block Diagram • Base PCB assembly. • Daughter PCB assembly. • Regulator PCB assembly. • Front panel PCB assembly. • Printer PCB. • Manifold assembly. Base PCB assembly: MCU: This is the main control / data processing block of the system. The MCU is responsible handling user input, presenting data on LCD, handling of printer, and processing of raw PVR signals.
System Block Diagram Daughter PCB assembly: ADC: Provides high-precision (24bit) digitisation of the seven pressure sensor signals. Solenoid Drivers: Provides ON/OFF control of four of the solenoid valves. 5V Linear Reg: Provides a low-noise analogue supply for the ADC. Regulator PCB assembly: MCU: Provides ON/OFF control and power sequencing of the internal power rails.
Operating Principles 7 Operating Principles The Dopplex Ability is a medical device that can be used by relatively low-skilled operators to obtain ABPI measurements rapidly and reliably. The Ability uses unique dual-chamber DuoSense cuffs to occlude and detect the presence of blood flow. The occlusion chamber is inflated until the blood flow is cut off, whilst the detect chamber is inflated to a constant lower pressure of 45 mmHg and used to monitor blood flow distal to the occlusion chamber.
Operating Principles Cuff Inflation & Deflation Control The Ability includes a small compressor that provides air for cuff inflation. As there are effectively eight pneumatic channels (four occlude and four detect), valves are included to direct the air to the appropriate channels at the appropriate time.

Safety Testing 10 Safety Testing 10.1 Product Classification The Dopplex Ability is a Class II product as defined by EN60601-1. As such, it does not rely on, or include, a protective earth. It does actually have an earth connection, but this is not included for safety purposes. The earth provides a shunt connection for the internal EMI filters, and is therefore defined as a functional earth according to EN60601-1.
Safety Testing 10.3 Electrical Safety Test: USB (Enclosure Leakage) Test 10.3.1 Connect the unit under test as illustrated below to a suitable electrical safety analyser. Earth Live Neutral Neutral from Analyser USB Socket Earth from Analyser Live from Analyser Enclosure Socket of Analyser 10.3.2 Switch on the unit.

Fault Modes 14.2.2 Inflation Problem This message is displayed at any point during the test when inflation is in progress and the rate of inflation falls outside of the expected range. Figure 2 shows the applicable stages of the test, phase 2 of the ankle test is not shown for clarity, however monitoring of the inflation rate still applies.
Page 67
Fault Modes 14.2.3 Cuffs Not Connected This fault is triggered upon detection of a missing cuff. This could either result from failure to connect the cuff, failing to attach cuffs to the patient or performing a test on an amputee without selecting amputee mode. This fault is detected and only generated during the initial inflation as highlighted in Figure 4 by checking the pressure in each of the cuffs at the point eight seconds after inflation begins.

Fault Modes 14.2.4 Excess Pressure This fault is generated at any time during an ABPI test if the pressure in any of the detect or occlusion chambers exceeds 70 or 250 mmHg respectively. Causes of excessive pressure could result from: •...
Fault Modes 14.3 Internal Faults An internal fault is generated when a section of the product hardware or software encounters a problem. Each fault is classified and dealt with according to the severity of the fault as follows: • Soft: User required to press to continue operation.

Fault Modes 14.3.4 Internal Fault 004 (Hard): I C DAC Failure An attempt to write to the DAC (bleed valve control) has failed twice. The bleed valves form an essential part of the ABPI test and deflate the occlusion chambers from pressures up to 230 mmHg. This is a critical fault and the unit will not continue to function.
