10 Alarms and troubleshooting
In the event of device failure, two independent monitoring systems ensure the
safety against overheating. Except for the low temperature alarm, all alarms
switch off immediately the heating function. Thus, the overheating of the heated
liquid is surely prevented.
ASTOFLO PLUS ECO does not require continuous supervision by the operator,
but must be inspected at regular intervals (depending on the condition of the
patient
). Then the intended operator’s position is directly in front of the control
panel.
In case of failure of the equipment, possible injury to the patient is delayed and
the operator has sufficient time to provide alternative warming methods.
According to IEC/EN 60601-1-
8 the alarms are defined as “
low priority alarms
”
The alarms are only triggered by technical alarm conditions (equipment faults).
The alarm signal is given visually and acoustically.
