• Chapter 3 • Using the Console, Service Module, and Handpieces
During normal operation, all the symbols appear green. If an error occurs
with any of the major components, an alarm will sound and the respective
symbol will turn from green to yellow.
There is no method to silence alarms from the touch screen, therefore, to
manually turn off an alarm, you must turn off the Console. If the system shuts
down unexpectedly (for example, a power failure) with an alarm activated on
the touch screen, the alarm remains activated when you power the system
on again.The only method of turning off the alarm on the touch screen is to
resolve the corresponding alarm.
Recommended : When you set up the CUSA NXT System for surgery, make
sure that the touch screen is always clearly visible to the surgeon in the event
of an alarm, and the alarm tone is audible. Remove any obstructions that
may block the surgeon’s view of the touch screen.
Alarm Tone
This tone (on/off) sounds when an alarm activates. You cannot adjust the
volume of the alarm tones. The alarm tone is less than 78dB.
Warning
Ignoring alarms on the CUSA NXT System while continuing to use the system
may result in injury to the patient and/or surgical personnel, or equipment
damage.
Notice
If you press the yellow symbol, the touch screen monitor will display error and
problem resolution information. For more information on responding to alarms,
see page 84.
