Flowmeter Module - Terumo Advanced Perfusion System 1 Operator's Manual

System Overview

Flowmeter Module

The flowmeter module provides the interface between
an ultrasonic flow sensor and the system. Up to 2
flowmeter modules can be mounted on each flowmeter
mounting bracket. Up to 4 flowmeter modules can be
connected to the system at a time.
It is recommended that a flowmeter module always be
used when a centrifugal pump is used.
Flow information is displayed in a rectangular icon, in
L / m
i n
L/min, on the Perfusion Screen. Placement of the icon
is chosen during configuration. If the flowmeter has
been placed on a centrifugal pump, flow data will also
be displayed on the centrifugal control unit display and
the minimum flow alarm will be functional.
For centrifugal pumping, a minimum flow alarm can be
set to warn of reduced flow. In the event of a minimum
flow alarm, a dual tone audible alarm sounds, a message is displayed on the Central
Control Monitor and on the control panel of the centrifugal control unit.
The flowmeter module generates an alarm when backflow is detected. In the event of
a backflow alarm, a dual tone audible alarm sounds, a message is displayed on the
Central Control Monitor, the appropriate icon turns red and flashes (unless the icon
was placed on a centrifugal pump), and the status LED on the appropriate flow meter
module flashes red. If a safety connection was made to a pump, a message will also
appear on the pump control panel and the pump will react with the response chosen.
