OVERVIEW
The soft buttons on the Automated Impella
®
Controller provide access to the controller menu
structure. The menu structure has 5 main elements:
• MUTE ALARM
• FLOW CONTROL
• DISPLAY
• PURGE SYSTEM
• MENU
This Appendix provides an overview of the Automated Impella
®
Controller menu structure.
Many of the functions accessed through this menu structure are also discussed elsewhere in this
manual.
MUTE ALARM
The
MUTE ALARM
soft button mutes (silences) active alarms. It does not open another menu.
When you press
MUTE ALARM
, a bell icon with an X through it replaces the words
"MUTE ALARM" in the upper right of the display screen. If no alarms are active, no bell icon
is displayed. When you press
MUTE ALARM
it acknowledges all active alarms and silences the
audible alarm indicator for 2 minutes (for red or yellow alarms) or 5 minutes (for white alarms).
(Refer to section 6 of this manual for more information about Automated Impella

soft button opens the performance level icon enabling you to select
the desired performance level. The procedure for setting performance level is described in
