Instructions for use: Ikus - Berlin Heart

6 Start up the Ikus and set the parameters
Preparations outside of the operating room
Warning!
• Before every commissioning of the Ikus, you must check that a replacement Ikus or
Berlin Heart GmbH service is available within 24 hours.
• If you are using a laptop of the type Panasonic CF29, always observe the additional
information (Section 13.9 on p. 99)!
Caution!
• Always observe a resting period of six hours after each transportation before switching
on the Ikus.
• Before every commissioning of the Ikus, check that the environmental conditions are
respected (see Section 13.2 “Technical specifications” on page 89).
• Always keep unused driving tube connectors closed.
Note
• This chapter describes the technical aspects of comissioning as well as perioperative
and postoperative drive management. During commissioning, always pay attention to
the chapter 8: “Implantation – Surgical procedure”, p. 45.
• The described procedure for drive management consists of recommendations. They do
not replace conscientious observation and evaluation by competent personnel.
6.1 Preparations outside of the operating room
•
Warning!
Switch on the Ikus two hours before its planned use, so as to charge the batteries
(in particular the laptop battery) sufficiently and to detect a possible device error by
means of the start test. During this period, always connect the vessel models to the Ikus
(see below).
• The power switch (mains power switch) on the Ikus must always remain on ON/EIN –
even in battery mode and when the Ikus is switched off! Otherwise, there is a risk of
failure of the driving unit due to completely discharged batteries. The only exception is
battery mode: Before switching to battery mode, move the power switch (mains power
switch) to the OFF/Aus [O] position. Immediately after restoring the power connection,
move the power switch back to the ON/Ein [I] position.
• Make sure that the key on the laptop is not activated. The status LED on the
laptop indicated with a lock and/or a number (e.g. “1”) should not light up.
