Problem

Possible Cause

Measure

General

Flow reading with no flow present

System may not have been zeroed. 

1. 

Zero the system.

2. 

While doing so, ensure that the tube is 

filled completely but the liquid must not 

move. 

If the problem persists, please return  the 
sensor and the BioProTT

TM

 FlowTrack SL for 

servicing.

BioProTT

TM

 FlowTrack SL gets very 

warm

The BioProTT

TM

 FlowTrack SL might be 

exposed to an external heat source/
direct sunlight.

The BioProTT

TM

 FlowTrack SL might 

be covered so that heat cannot be 
dissipated. 

1.

  Check if there is enough space around 

the BioProTT

TM

 FlowTrack SL for the heat 

to dissipate.

2. 

Ensure that the device is not exposed to 
direct heat and/or sunlight. 

If the problem persists, please return  the 
sensor and the BioProTT

TM

 FlowTrack SL for 

servicing.

Display

Display is blank frozen.

Power supply may be disconnected.

1. 

Check if the device is connected to the 
power supply.

2. 

Ensure that the connection is tight.

3.

  Power the device off.

4. 

Power the device on again.

If the problem persists, please return  the 
sensor and the BioProTT

TM

 FlowTrack SL for 

servicing.

Missing information/values on 
the screen

Display may have frozen.

1.

 Refresh the screen by switiching to 

another screen and back again.

2.

  If no flow value is displayed, check if the 

coupling  is  withing  the  specified  range 
of >50 %.

If the problem persists, please return  the 
sensor and the BioProTT

TM

 FlowTrack SL for 

servicing.
