Self-Test Initiation - Abbott CentriMag Operation Manual

WARNING
Use of Flow Probes from sources other than Abbott Medical is not
recommended. Flow probes that are not obtained from Abbott Medical may not
function, may cause the Console to malfunction, or may lead to missing or
inaccurate flow information.
WARNING
Make certain the arrow on the Flow Probe clamp is facing in the direction of the
flow. If the arrow on the Flow Probe faces in the wrong direction, the flow will be
displayed negative. Flows which are lower than – 2 LPM are shown as "∨∨.∨∨"
on the display.
5. Check the Power Status on the Console front panel to verify that the green AC power
ON indicator is illuminated. The Console should be connected to AC power for at least
twelve hours prior to use to recharge the internal battery and to ensure battery power
availability, when needed.
6. Connect the Monitor if the Console is to be used with the Monitor.
7. Turn ON the power to the Console using the power switch located on the back panel
of the Console.

7.6 Self-Test Initiation

When the power is turned ON, a sequence of self-tests will immediately be performed. All
operating parameters will be verified. If any test fails, an appropriate message will be
displayed and an alarm will occur.
WARNING
Always verify two audio beepers sound during the self-test. If the audio beepers
fail to operate, the System will not be able to alarm or alert the user with audio
signals while the System is operated.
WARNING
If the Console fails the self-test, turn OFF the Console, check all of the power
and cable connections for the Console, and attempt to re-boot the Console by
turning the power ON. If the Console does not boot correctly after a second
attempt, do not use the Console and replace the Console with another 2
Generation CentriMag Console.
When all power-up self-tests are completed successfully, the System will require the user
to choose a support type. The available options are L (left sided support) or R (right
sided support). For VAD support, the user must select one of these options for each
Console. Once the selection is made, the System is ready for use. The MENU and SET
RPM options will appear, and the Monitor will activate (if connected).
