Alarms - Abbott Heartmate 3 Patient Manual

SYSTEM CONTROLLER: AL ARMS
System Controller advisory and hazard alarms are messages that appear on the user interface screen when
some problem with the system needs immediate attention. Some of the alarms indicate problems you can
address yourself (for example, a disconnected power cable that you should reconnect). But most instruct
you to call your hospital contact for instructions.
