Test: Press Ok to start the Doppler measurement and acquire a Doppler spectrum from the carotid
artery. This test requires knowledge of carotid insonation. Press freeze after several seconds of
signal acquisition.
Pass/Fail: Pass is defined when good quality of Doppler spectrum is obtained. If criteria is not
met, press the FAIL button on the right.
Troubleshooting:
a)
In case of Failure, try replacing the respective Doppler probe.
b)
If failure persists, contact your authorized Viasonix service representative.

Setup: Connect PVC0013 (Temperature Simulator Device) to the temperature port.
Test: Press Ok to start the measurement and wait until automatic freeze.
Pass/Fail: Pass is defined as a temperature reading of 18.7 +/- 2.5%.
Troubleshooting:
a)
In case of Failure, try replacing the internal temperature cable (PVC0060).

After completion of the Falcon performance diagnosis testing, the complete test report can be viewed or
printed to a hard copy through the
button on the right hand side. The test procedure is also saved
to the database, and can be loaded for review at any time (file called:
Falcon Dagnostics
).
5 – FALCON DISASSEMBLY
IMPORTANT
- After every Falcon service assembly, full system performance testing must be repeated
and completed successfully.
The following details the disassembly instructions for the Falcon system. The assembly process is merely
a reverse of the disassembly instructions provided here, and therefore is not detailed separately.
Prepare a large, flat and rigid working surface that is free from other items and that will be comfortable
for the disassembly process. Carefully place the Falcon on the working surface. Disconnect all of the
connectors and cables from the system. Verify that the USB cable and the power supply cable are
disconnected from the back panel. Also, verify that the temperature sensor and the counterpart of the 10-
tube connector with the colored air tube sleeve are disconnected from the right side of the Falcon.
Finally, disconnect all PPG sensors and Doppler probes from the front panel.
