MUTE ALARM FUNCTION
Pressing the
MUTE ALARM
button on the upper right of the Automated Impella
®
Controller
display screen will silence the audible alarm indicator for 2 minutes (for red or yellow alarms) or
5 minutes (for white advisory alarms). When an alarm is silenced, the words “MUTE ALARM”
next to the button are replaced by the mute alarm indicator, a crossed-out bell icon (as shown in
Figure 8.1).
ALARM HISTORY SCREEN
The alarm history screen may be accessed through the MENU . This screen contains a log of the
alarms that occurred during the case. This log is not maintained when the Automated Impella
®
Controller is powered down or after a power failure. The controller does, however, maintain a
long-term log that is saved after the Automated Impella
®
Controller is powered down or after a
power failure and this information may be downloaded by Abiomed personnel.
Alarms That Resolve On
Their Own
The audible indicator will
shut off if an alarm condition
is resolved before you press
MUTE ALARM . The visual
message, however, will
continue to be displayed,
with the alarm header on
a gray background, for 20
minutes or until you press
MUTE ALARM . This allows
you to identify the alarm that
occurred.
