The monitor is designed to use AC power from a wall outlet. The monitor can also use its internal battery during patient
transportation. Keep the monitor's battery charged by connecting the monitor AC adapter to an electrical outlet at all
times—even while in storage. It takes approximately 4 hours to charge a depleted monitor battery. If the monitor is going
to be stored for a long period, removing the battery and leaving the monitor unplugged is also an option.
nOTE: The monitor should always use AC power except during patient transport.
The monitor's internal battery should be fully charged prior to patient use.

DO NOT allow patients to touch the monitor.

There are 5 icons (Figure 19) on the monitor to access system information and to manage pump operation. The icons are
displayed on all screens. When an icon is selected, it points to the screen.
The current state of the pump is displayed along the left-hand side of all monitor screens. Parameters displayed include
average pump blood flow (L/min), speed (RPM) and power (Watts) (Figure 20). The top of the monitor screen displays
alarm messages for active controller alarms. The alarm messages are identical to those displayed by the controller. During
active alarms the Alarm Mute icon appears on the top right of the monitor screen. Pressing this icon silences the alarm for
5 minutes. This area of the monitor screen is also used for status messages.
The bottom of each screen includes the controller data download status icon, patient identification, time, postoperative
day (POD) and power supply status. Either the "1" or "2" will light to indicate which source is powering the controller. The
illuminated "2" in Figure 21 indicates that an AC or DC adapter is connected to power supply connector 2 and is operating
the controller. The remaining battery capacity is also displayed for battery power. If one of the power sources is
disconnected, the corresponding icon disappears.
