CUFF LEAK
The unit has detected a large
leak in the cuff, hose or
connectors which is defined as
the cuff failing to reach the
pressure set point in a
reasonable time, or the pump
running excessively while
regulating the pressure and the
pressure set point is not being
adjusted.
CUFF PRESURIZED DURING
POWER UP
The unit has detected an
approximate pressure of
50mmHg or more in the cuff
when the unit was powered up.
The unit assumes a procedure is
in progress, changes the
pressure set point to the
detected pressure, immediately
regulates the cuff to this
pressure, and activates alarm to
alert the user of the condition.
TOURNIQUET TIME LIMIT
EXCEEDED
The unit's elapsed timer, which
advances when the cuff is
inflated, has reached the time
limit set point and caused the
time alarm to activate.
Alarm message alternates with cuff
pressure display

Connections, hose, and cuff should be
checked and the leak repaired
OR
Reduce pressure set point until unit can
maintain pressure
OR
Press and hold 'DEFLATE' for 2 seconds to
deflate the cuff
The system assumes that a procedure is
in progress and adopts the sensed
pressure as the new set point. The
operator should immediately check the
set value to determine if it needs reset
Press the pressure adjustment button
and verify the cuff pressure set point
The surgeon should be warned of the
time up condition. Only on the direction
of the surgeon, should the time limit be
set to new value.
Press the time limit adjustment button
and increase the time limit.
OR
Press and hold 'DEFLATE' for 2 seconds to
