Medical representative.
B2
Alert
BATTERY BELOW MINIMUM
The Pump will stop after a very short time.
Plug the Console into a AC power outlet to charge the battery.
If no AC outlet is available, switch to the backup Console,
Motor and Flow Probe according to the procedure described in
Section 10.1.
Resume support.
F1
Alert
FLOW PROBE
DISCONNECTED
Check the Flow Probe connection on back of the Console.
If necessary, reconnect the Flow Probe connector to the back
of the Console. Press the alarm acknowledge button. Switch to
the backup Flow Probe, if the alert message repeats.
S3
Alert
SYSTEM ALERT
Press the alarm acknowledge button, if the message does not
disappear, clamp the return tubing, stop the Pump and switch
to the backup Console, Motor and Flow Probe according the
procedure described in Section 10.1. Resume support.
Record the alarm message and contact your local Abbott
Medical representative.
F2
Alert
FLOW SIGNAL INTERRUPTED
(Flow rate sensor error)
Manually disconnect, reposition and reconnect the Flow Probe
transducer to the tubing. Press the alarm acknowledge button.
Switch to the backup Flow Probe, if the alert message repeats.
If problem still persists after switching to the backup Flow
Probe, stop the Pump and switch to a backup Primary Console.
Follow the instructions described in Section 10.1. Resume
support. Record the alarm message and contact your Abbott
Medical representative.
F3
Alert
FLOW BELOW MINIMUM
(Low Flow)
Check for physiologic cause or circuit obstruction.
Check minimum flow set point. Do not increase RPM without
confirming adequate blood volume is available.
Common cause of this alert is inadequate blood volume at the
drainage cannula site for the desired Pump flow.
F4
Alert
FLOW ABOVE MAXIMUM
Reduce Pump speed and check for cause.
P1
Alert
PRESSURE 1 DISCONNECTED
Check the electrical connections on the pressure 1 transducer
and recalibrate. If the problem persists disconnect, reconnect,
and recalibrate the transducer. Consider changing the
transducer and cable if the problem persists.
P2
Alert
PRESSURE 2 DISCONNECTED
Check the electrical connections on the pressure 2 transducer
and recalibrate. If the problem persists disconnect, reconnect,
and recalibrate the transducer. Consider changing the
transducer and cable if the problem persists.
P3
Alert
PRESSURE SYSTEM FAIL
The pressure monitoring system will not function. If pressure
monitoring is needed then change to the backup Console,
Motor and Flow Probe.
Switch to the backup System according the procedure
described in Section 10.1. Resume support. Record the alarm
message and contact your Abbott Medical representative
P4
Alert
PRESSURE 1 BELOW
MINIMUM
Check for and resolve a physiological or mechanical cause.
Ensure appropriate pressure alarms are set. Consider
recalibrating the transducer if alert cannot be explained by
