Recommendation<br />
• When per<strong>for</strong>ming the inspection, illuminate the blood chamber of the pump with a<br />
flashlight. This makes it easier to detect deposits.<br />
Corrective action<br />
• If deposits are beginning: Check the anticoagulation therapy and adjust it if necessary.<br />
• Floating deposits in the pump: Replace the pump!<br />
9.5.3 Inspection via the monitoring program<br />
• Log the drive parameters and adjust them if necessary.<br />
• Goal: Complete filling and emptying of the pump in each cycle, lowest possible diastolic<br />
pressures.<br />
Recommendation<br />
• Log the parameter values once per day.<br />
• To log the parameters, <strong>use</strong> the standard <strong>for</strong>m “EXCOR parameters” (standard <strong>for</strong>m see<br />
page 95).<br />
