ALARMS AND HELP SCREENS
1.1
HELP SCREENS Help screens are provided for consultation regarding alarm or informational message descriptions and alarm configuration. Help Screens are context sensitive and available based on the information displayed on the Monitor. For example: The Help Screens for alarm messages are only available while an alarm condition or informational message exists. When one or more alarm/informational message is present, the Help Available key will appear on the Touch Screen indicating that help is available for the current alarm/informational message(s). Navigating the Help Screens: 1. Press the Help Available key on the Touchscreen. The Help Screen will open and display all of the current alarms/informational messages in their predetermined priority order within each classification, higher priorities being displayed above lower priorities. The priority order is as follows: Technical Alarms, High Priority Alarms, Medium Priority Alarms, Low Priority Alarms, and Informational Messages. 2. If only a single alarm or informational message exists, the corresponding Help Screen will be immediately displayed. If multiple alarm or informational messages exist, a Multiple Alarm Display will be provided in the Help Screen Area. Each listed alarm or informational message is actually a key that, when selected, displays the associated Help Screen. 3.
In the Help Screen, use the Page Up and Page Down keys to navigate through the available help information.
4. If the Help Screen is only displaying a single alarm or informational message, pressing the Exit Key will close the Help Screen. However, if a single alarm or informational message is being displayed, and there are multiple alarm or informational messages present, pressing the Back Key will close the current Help Screen, and display the Help Screen for multiple alarm or informational messages. If the Help Screen is displaying multiple alarm or informational messages, pressing the Exit key will close the Help Screen.

ALARM AND INFORMATIONAL MESSAGES The IABP utilizes both auditory and visual alarm signals to communicate the need for immediate Operator response, prompt Operator response, or Operator awareness. Auditory alarm signals (tone sequences) are primarily intended to attract the attention of the operator. They were carefully developed to communicate the urgency of the response, as well as the pump's location. Auditory signals are effective over a relatively broad range of operator positions. CAUTION: Do not set the alarm volume to such a low level that it cannot be readily heard over the ambient noise level of the venue in which the IABP is used. Visual alarm signals consist of both symbols and text. The displayed information further reinforces the urgency of the alarm (color, flashing property and symbol shape) and also identifies the alarm via a specific text message. Textual information is legible at the operator's position, up to 1 meter from the front of the Monitor. Additionally, alarms are further complimented by an option to display context sensitive help information to aid in the understanding and guide in the resolution of the alarm condition. Alarm and informational messages are grouped into the following categories in order to facilitate operator awareness and understanding: Technical Alarms, High, Medium and Low Priority Alarms, and Informational Messages. These messages are displayed based upon the priority of the condition(s) that prompted them. Technical Alarms and High Priority Alarm messages are displayed first at the top of the Message Display Area on the Monitor Display. These alarms require the Operator's immediate response. Technical Alarms initiate a continuous alarm tone and suspend pumping. High Priority Alarms initiate the High Priority Alarm Tone, and, in a majority of cases, suspend pumping. If multiple alarm conditions are present, all of the current alarms/informational messages are displayed in their predetermined priority order within each classification, higher priorities being displayed above lower priorities. The associated Help Screens Area is organized to reflect the order of priority. When Medium Priority Alarms are displayed, depending on IABP conditions, IAB assist will not be suspended and the Medium Priority Alarm tone is sounded. Medium Priority Alarms require the Operator’s prompt response. When Low Priority Alarms are displayed, IAB assist is not suspended and the Low Priority Alarm tone is sounded. Low Priority Alarms require the Operator’s awareness. Informational messages typically provide awareness of conditions that do not require immediate action and may persist for longer periods. These messages may also be accompanied by an infrequently repeated audio reminder tone. Gas Loss and IAB Catheter alarm operation is maintained at heart rates up to 140 BPM*. However, one component of the IAB Catheter Alarms, detection of gas trapped in the safety disk, is suspended at 112 BPM to minimize nuisance alarms. * The cited heart rates assume that the timing controls are at nominal mid-position.

Remove it from the Fiber-Optic Sensor Input and reinsert until it clicks. 2 Check for visible kinks in the orange Fiber-Optic cable, if found relieve the kink. 3 If problem persists, disconnect the Fiber-Optic Sensor Connector. 4 Provide an alternate A.P. source (i.e.: radial) by connecting and zeroing a standard transducer or by connecting an interface cable from the A.P. high level output of an external monitor to the IABP. 5 If an external high level A.P. input is provided and the IABP is in SEMI AUTO operation mode, manually switch the IABP's pressure input to EXTERNAL using the PRESSURE ARROW keys via the SOURCES Menu. Confirm that the trigger and timing settings are set appropriately. 6 In the event that an alternate A.P. source cannot be provided, consider replacing the balloon. Alarm Attributes: Operation Mode: All Trigger Source: All Detailed Cause: There is a failure in the communication of the Fiber-Optic Sensor signal with the IABP. System Response: Pumping will continue while in ECG trigger, the Fiber-Optic pressure waveform and indices will not be available. Reset: Upon removing the Fiber-Optic Sensor Connector.
Poor Signal Quality ECG triggering is too unreliable for Auto Operation due to poor ECG signal quality. 1 Attempt to improve ECG signal by ensuring electrode contact and optimal placement. If necessary, change electrodes. 2 Check integrity of all cable/lead connections. The Arterial Pressure (A.P.) waveform is absent, flat, or over damped. 1 Check integrity of all cable connections, optical or electrical. 2 If a transducer is in use, verify the transducer was not left vented. If the waveform is still flat, attempt to clear the inner lumen by aspirating and flushing the arterial pressure line. 3 If unable to clear the inner lumen, cap the lumen. Provide an alternate A.P. source (i.e.: radial) by connecting and zeroing a standard transducer or by connecting an interface cable from the A.P. high level output of an external monitor to the IABP. Alarm Attributes: Operation Mode: Auto Trigger Source: ECG Detailed Cause: Both ECG and Arterial Pressure signal quality is poor while in ECG trigger. System Response: System continues to pump but may time conservatively. Reset: Automatically upon detection of a good ECG or A.P. signal.

No Pressure Source Available No DIRECT or EXTERNAL arterial pressure (A.P.) source was detected. 1 If using a Fiber-Optic IAB, ensure that the Fiber-Optic Sensor Cable is connected. Once connected, a calibration will occur automatically in 20 seconds. 2 If a transducer is in use, ensure that the pressure cable is connected to the transducer and the IABP. If alarm persists, consider replacing the pressure cable. 3 If an A.P. source is still unavailable, consider providing an interface cable from the A.P. high level output of an external monitor to the IABP. Alarm Attributes: Operation Mode: Auto Trigger Source: ECG or Pressure Detailed Cause: Neither a direct or external pressure source was detected. System Response: System continues to pump but may time conservatively. Reset: Automatically, upon connection of a viable pressure source.
Low Battery There is less than 30 minutes of battery operating time remaining. 1 Connect system to an AC power source. 2 If an AC power source is unavailable, insert a charged battery into the battery bay not currently in use. Alarm Attributes: Operation Mode: All Trigger Source: All Detailed Cause: Cumulative reserve of both batteries falls below 30 minutes of operating time. System Response: Unaffected. Reset: Automatically removes message and turns off tone when an AC power source is restored or when a charged battery is inserted. Catheter Alarms Paused - Enable AUG. ALARM The Augmentation Alarm has been set to OFF while Catheter Alarms are Paused. 1 Set the AUG. ALARM to 10 mmHg below the patient's augmented diastolic pressure. 2 Adjust the Augmentation Alarm by pressing the AUG. ALARM key and using the ARROW keys. Alarm Attributes: Operation Mode: All Trigger Source: All Detailed Cause: Catheter Alarms are Paused while the Augmentation Alarm is set to OFF. System Response: Unaffected. Reset: Once the user reactivates the Augmentation Alarm. Over Temperature Condition Detected An over temperature condition has been detected in the pneumatic system. 1 Switch the IAB FREQUENCY to 1:2 or 1:3 in an attempt to reduce the load on the pneumatic system, then switch to another MAQUET IABP if available. 2 Contact MAQUET Service. Alarm Attributes: Operation Mode: All Trigger Source: All Detailed Cause: An over temperature condition has been detected in the pneumatic compressor. System Response: Unaffected. Reset: Automatically once the compressor temperature falls below the established over temperature threshold.

Transport Power Supply Over Temperature An over temperature condition has been detected in the Transport Power Supply. 1 If available connect the IABP to an alternate AC power source and discontinue use of the Transport Power Supply. 2 Insert a charged battery into the available battery bay. 3 Contact MAQUET Service. Alarm Attributes: Operation Mode: All Trigger Source: All Detailed Cause: An over temperature condition has been detected in the Transport Power Supply. System Response: Unaffected. Reset: Automatically once the Transport Power Supply temperature falls below the established over temperature threshold.
Multiple AC Power Sources Detected The IABP is connected to multiple AC power sources. 1 Disconnect the IABP from the unused AC power source(s). Alarm Attributes: Operation Mode: All Trigger Source: All Detailed Cause: The system has detected that multiple AC power sources are connected to the IABP. System Response: Unaffected. Reset: Automatically, once the unused AC power source is disconnected.
Disconnect Trainer - Patient Cable(s) Connected The System Trainer remains connected to the IABP and patient ECG / Pressure waveforms are detected. 1 Disconnect the System Trainer. Alarm Attributes: Operation Mode: All Trigger Source: All Detailed Cause: A combination of Patient and Trainer cable(s) are connected to the IABP. System Response: Triggering and timing response may be altered due to the inappropriate combination of trainer and patient signals. Reset: Automatically, when the mix of trainer and patient cables is eliminated.
