nOTE: A controller reset (removal of both power sources) is required following a "Set Defaults" command for the
command to take effect.
The Set Defaults button should not be used when a controller is connected to a patient.
CaUTiOn:
The "Set Defaults" button on monitor REF 1511 (no longer being placed on the market) will erase all
patient VAD parameter information from the controller.
Disable "VAD Stop" Alarm:
The purpose of this feature is to allow programming of a controller when it is not connected to a pump (or a motor fixture).
After applying power to the controller, it will pause for ten seconds before detecting whether or not a pump is disconnected
(a "VAD Stopped" condition). The Disable "VAD Stop" Alarm feature enables the user to send a command to the controller to
tell it NOT to alarm when a pump is not attached. This allows the input of patient and controller information via the monitor
without an audible alarm. This pending command will clear after 3 minutes.
Steps:
Press 'Disable "VAD Stop" Alarm' indicator on monitor (Figure 40)
1)
2) Connect monitor to controller
Power up controller with 2 power sources
3)
4) Enter patient and controller information via the monitor
5) Disconnect monitor from controller
Disable the "No Power" alarm. If a red alarm adapter is available, insert it into the blue connector on the controller. If
6)
no alarm adapter is available, press and hold the Alarm Mute and Scroll buttons simultaneously until a "beep" is heard,
or for at least 5 seconds
Disconnect power from controller
7)
8) The "VAD Stop" Alarm will be re-armed automatically after 3 minutes as long as the monitor is not connected to a
controller (Figure 41)
