CARE AND MAINTENANCE The RBB Pump is a battery-operated touch screen portable device. Please follow these instructions to ensure the device’s accuracy and longevity. 1. Do not subject the device to impacts or shocks, such as dropping the unit or storing it near strong vibrations. 2.
VOLUME VERIFICATION The RBB Pump uses highly sensitive airflow and pressure sensors that may degrade over time. This can cause inaccurate measurements by the pump. If users suspect the pump is not producing accurate results, they can perform a Volume Verification Test to determine if the pump’s results are accurate. In addition, the Volume Verification Test should be performed every 3 months.
Page 65
VOLUME VERIFICATION 3) To perform a Volume Verification Test, users will need to use the included Verification Bag. The Verification Bag has its capacity indicated on a label. Stop Cap 4) Attach the open port of the Verification Bag securely onto the RBB pump’s Metal Luer.
Page 66
VOLUME VERIFICATION 5) Create a dummy patient for the Volume Verification Test. Navigate to the dummy patient’s profile and select “Start New Test”. Ensure that all values are set to default (shown below), and then select “Start Test”. 6) Perform the usual steps taken to perform a RBB Test. The Volume Verification Test will only utilize the Capacity Test portion of the RBB Test.
Page 67
VOLUME VERIFICATION 7) Once Capacity Test is completed, compare the displayed capacity value on the RBB Pump to the capacity value indicated on the Verification Bag’s label. If the capacity values are within ± 2.5 % of each other, then the pump is performing correctly.
Device Un-Lock screen to recover access to their RBB Pump. 1) Select “Forgot password?” option in the Device Un-Lock screen. 2) Contact Mui Scientific using the number shown on screen to begin the recovery process. Please provide Mui Scientific with the Unlock Code...
UPDATING SOFTWARE Mui Scientific will occasionally release new software updates for the RBB Pump that will require installation by the users. These updates are highly recommended to be installed to the pumps as they often contain new features, upgrades and bug fixes for the RBB Pump. Users can also contact Mui Scientific for more information on the latest software version.
Page 70
4) Once the update is complete, the update screen will show that all update tasks are completed. The pump will automatically restart and proceed back to the splash screen. The USB device can then be removed safely. 5) Contact Mui Scientific after successfully completing your update.
TROUBLESHOOTING All troubleshooting activities to be conducted by pump operators can be accomplished via the touchscreen. There are NO user-serviceable parts within the pump, and therefore users should NOT attempt to disassemble the unit housing. If the pump requires servicing beyond the user capabilities, contact the manufacturer.
Page 72
TROUBLESHOOTING 3) Check the seams of the catheter’s bag and ensure that the bag is sealed shut at the seams. 4) If the bag does not inflate during an RBB test, ensure that the catheter has been inserted correctly into the patient’s rectum, and that no bag is visible from the outside.
Page 73
TROUBLESHOOTING Errors in Volume and/or Pressure readings 1. The following warning screen will appear whenever an error has occurred in Volume and/or Pressure sensor. 2. Restarting the pump will automatically recalibrate the sensors. 3. Rerun any tests performed if the error occurred during a test. 4.
