5.1.4 Mag Monitor
The Console is designed to be used with a Mag Monitor. The Monitor may be used with
one or two Consoles when a patient is supported in either a univentricular or biventricular
support mode, respectively. The Monitor permits the user to redundantly display data
pertaining to System performance and status along with the Console display. When
activated, the user is able to view System data directly on the Console display or the
Monitor. A second function of the Monitor is to provide a redundant user interface to
control Motor and Pump function. For detailed information regarding the Monitor, refer to
the Monitor Connection section (
Section 7.24
).
The Monitor is designed for use only with the Console when the System is stationary and
powered on AC. In combination with the Console Version 2
,
the Monitor can be powered
on battery as well. The runtime of the battery will shorten if the Monitor is used when the
System is operated on battery.
In the univentricular mode, one Monitor is connected to one Console. In the biventricular
mode, one Monitor is connected to two Consoles. The display on the Monitor then
displays data from both of the Consoles. The data from the Console used to support the
left side of the heart are displayed in red, whereas the data from the Console used to
support the right side of the heart are displayed in blue.
Should the Monitor be disconnected or fail, the Console may be operated independently
with the relevant operational data displayed on the Console display. When the Monitor is
active, control of Motor and Pump function may be accomplished using either the Monitor
or the Console.
If a Monitor is unavailable, the Pump and Motor can be controlled via the Console. When
operated in this manner, a number of interactive features that can only be accessed via
the Monitor will not be available. These include the stopwatch function (
Section 7.15
graphical displays of the pressure, as well as flow and alarm limits (
Sections 7.12
through 7.14
In the absence of the Monitor, the data log function is not accessible. In addition, data
recording will be limited to the previous 16 hours of data. If a Monitor is connected to the
Console, it will be able to display the previous 16 hours of data collected by the System.
Table 3: The System with and without the Monitor
summarizes the differences
between the System with and without the Monitor.
