2 SWITCHING TO BACKUP HARDWARE
Switch all components (Console, Motor, Flow Probe and cables) simultaneously and
then perform troubleshooting on the non-functioning System when it is no longer
being used for patient support.
The steps to switch to a backup Console, Motor and Flow Probe set are as follows:

Continue clamping the tubing while lowering the RPM to zero. Turn the main
Console’s power switch off. Turn on the backup System, and make sure that it
is properly assembled with the backup Motor.
Unthread the Pump retaining screw on the Motor by turning the screw counter-
clockwise several revolutions until the screw tip is clear of the locking groove
on the Pump.
Place the Pump in the backup Motor receptacle (the Pump will drop into place
in one of 3 orientations).
Rotate the Pump
counterclockwise
until it stops.
Thread the Pump retaining screw to secure the Pump in place by turning the
screw clockwise until it stops. Confirm that the retaining screw is visible in one
of the notches on the side of the pump. If the retaining screw is not visible in a
notch, loosen the retaining screw, remove the pump, remount, rotate the Pump
counterclockwise
, and secure by advancing the retaining screw.
Pumping operation may now be re-established via the backup Console
by increasing the RPM to about 1000 RPM. Gradually increase RPM while
unclamping the Pump outflow tubing. Continue to gradually increase the RPM
to achieve the desired flow. Pumping operation should be returned to the last
operating condition of the Pump. Be sure to reset options and alarms to match
those selected before hardware exchange.

NOTE:
To be available for emergency use, the backup Console, Motor and Flow
Probe must be transported with and in proximity of the main Console and Motor,
and plugged into AC power, with the main power switch OFF. The battery power for
the backup Console must be periodically assessed by turning the main power switch
ON, checking the status of the battery, and then turning the main power switch OFF.
In addition, the expiration date and maintenance due date of the backup Console’s
Battery, must be checked on a periodical basis.
For additional information, refer to the CentriMag Circulatory Support System
