8.8.1 Monitoring the Patient
Qualified medical personnel logged in as E
XPERT
or M
EDICAL
must al-
ways log off of the panel PC before moving away from the patient. Log-
ging off prevents accidental or unauthorized modification of
parameters.
Use intensive-care monitoring to monitor the patient following implantation of a EX-
COR VAD system. Make sure that the user can reliably perceive any potential alarms.
8.8.2 Changing Parameters
The E
XPERT
and M
EDICAL
users can change the driving unit parameters. Several pa-
rameters can only be changed after the blood pumps have been paused or the driving
unit has been reset.
Parameters can only be set within a defined range of values. These value ranges de-
pend on the specific components implanted.
1 Lower threshold for the flow alarm
2 Currently selected value
3 Upper threshold for the flow alarm
3. Set the flow alarm threshold value and use A
PPLY
to confirm.
Note: If no flow alarm threshold is selected, an alarm will be emitted after 5 minutes
if the rate is 60 bpm or higher.
