Stryker SmartPump Rx, Instructions For Use Manual

Page: 32 / 56

General Use Procedure 32
WARNING : Cuff and fill line leaks may cause regular, frequent cycling of valves
accompanied by repeated or continuous pump motor activity refilling the internal
pressure reservoir. This type of leak becomes problematic if the leak volume
increases during the procedure, creating a leak rate, which cannot be compensated
for by the SmartPump’s maximum flow rate. Discard damaged reusable cuffs,
replace damaged cuff O-rings and fill lines and use new, single use disposable
cuffs. Failure to comply may result in patient injury.
Cuff pressure conditions which exceed those associated with normal operation and
the responses reviewed previously, will trigger the SmartPump’s audible alarm and
visual alarms including the flashing red
Alarm Indicator Mute button and blinking
cuff pressure value(s). The SmartPump will continue to adjust pressure to the set
target pressure while the audible alarm is muted. In a muted state, the pressure
values continue to blink.
If automatic pressure adjustments do not resolve the low or high-pressure
conditions within one second, the following occurs:
♦
The cuff pressure audible alarm sounds once a second.
♦
Low-pressure alarms are muted for 30 seconds by pressing the
Alarm Indicator Mute button, with the exception of a minor low-
pressure event.
♦
A minor low-pressure alarm is muted for 60 seconds. Minor low
pressure is defined as a pressure value not more than 25 mmHg
below target, for a period longer than one second.
♦
The Alarm Indicator Mute button will continue to flash red when
the audible alarm is muted.
♦
Icons associated with the alarm condition will continue to blink
until the condition is corrected.
When the correct pressure is restored, within tolerance, at the set target pressure,
the alarm state is cleared automatically.
