The following table provides an alphabetical listing of most of the alarm and alert messages, the pump response,possible causes and operator action to correct the condition.MESSAGE PUMP RESPONSE POSSIBLE CAUSE OPERATOR ACTIONAP TRIGGER ACTIVE Message only System has switched to AP triggerautomatically in Autopilot Modewhen a reliable ECG trigger cannotbe obtained.ARRHYTHMIA TIMING Message only Irregular cardiac rhythm or irregulartriggering.Check ECG source.Re-establish consistent ECG signalIf the rhythm is irregular, treat patientaccordingly.Ensure the trigger signal is clear;pump not triggering on artifact.If desired, the automatic afib timingcan be overridden by pressing AFIBTIMING OFF.AVL FAILURE Message only AVL not functioning properly Call for service. Try to reinitiatepumping by powering down andback up.BALLOON DISCONNECTAudible tone, message, deflateballoon; stop pumpingNo pressure in balloon line orballoon line not connected.Check gas tubing connections atconsole or at balloon connection.GAS ALARMS OFF Mode:Message onlyCall for service if all connections aretight and alarm condition persists.CALL SERVICEUnable to start pumping, displaymessage.Computer failureCall for service. Try to reinitiatepumping by powering down andback up.
MESSAGE PUMP RESPONSE POSSIBLE CAUSE OPERATOR ACTIONCHECK TIMINGActive in OPERATOR Mode only.Message.Pumping switched from AUTOPILOT Mode to OPERATOR ModeReminder to assess timing. Adjustas needed.A 2 second audible alert mayaccompany message if enabled.Assist interval set to short to fullyinflate balloon.Press ASSIST FREQ to 1:2 to evaluatetiming. Readjust timing as necessary.ECG DETECTEDMessage and beep tone every5 seconds.Cardiac activity (ECG) detected whilepumping in INTERNAL trigger.Switch trigger mode according topatient’s rhythm. Readjust timing.FILL FAILUREAudible tone, message, deflateballoon; stop pumpingGAS ALARMS OFF Mode: NoneFailure to fill to 6-10mmHg duringfill state.Press ASSIST key again. Check foradequate supply of helium. If alarmpersists, operate in GAS ALARMSOFF override mode until anotherconsole is available.FILL PRESSUREAudible tone, message, deflateballoon; stop pumping.Changing balloon volume whilepumping.If IAB volume was changed whilepumping, depress ASSIST and beginpumping again.High helium pressure in balloon line.Notify service if alarm conditioncontinues.GAS ALARMS OFF Message only Pump is set to GAS ALARMS OFFMode.Press and hold GAS ALARMS OFFkey for 3 seconds to turn this modeoff (LED off) and reactivate theautomatic surveillance systems.
