Responding to Technical Alarms
Use the following guidelines to respond to each technical alarm.
Responding to Irreversible System Failure Alarms
If any of the software, firmware, or electrical components inside the monitor suffers a serious malfunction during
use, the Camino ICP Monitor will stop reporting measurement values on the touch screen and activate a medium
priority technical alarm. During this alarm mode, the monitor will:
• Sound an alarm containing a burst of three pulses
• Display a standalone message window that specifies an error code and a description of the applicable system
failure, which include the following:
• Sensor board failure
• Power board failure
• General software programming error
• Incompatible firmware error
For a complete list of error codes, see Chapter 8. Please note that each of these alarm conditions are irreversible.
If any of these alarms occur, tend to the patient’s need, note the specific error code, and contact Natus Neuro for
service.
Responding to ICP Catheter Failure Alarm
If the ICP catheter fails during initialization or use, the monitor will activate a medium priority alarm that will:
• Sound an alarm containing a burst of three pulses
• Display the following error message on status bar: " Catheter failure"
• Remove the ICP and temperature values from the screen
To resolve this problem, disconnect the catheter. To resume monitoring ICP, the entire catheter must be replaced.
Silencing the Catheter Failure Alarm Temporarily
Press the flashing alarm symbol on the touch screen. This will silence the alarm for 3 minutes. If the catheter is not
disconnected within 3 minutes, the alarm will reactivate.
