The status display indicates whether the ROTAFLOW System was stopped by an
intervention. The ROTAFLOW Console emits an acoustic signal.

4.6.1 "STAND AL" MODE: BUBBLE MONITORING
Note
Microbubbles are sometimes generated in bubble oxygenators, but should not
appear in membrane oxygenators.
The pump is stopped immediately if bubbles exceed 5 mm in size.
You must reset the bubble sensor after a bubble intervention. To do so, press the
"Bubble override" button briefly (less than 3 seconds).
4.6.2 "STAND AL" MODE: LEVEL MONITORING
WARNING!
Use the level monitoring system to prevent the liquid level in the reservoir
from becoming too low.
Only use a fully functional level monitoring system with each operation.
Always perform a function test before use.
Only use the capacitive level sensor with a polycarbonate reservoir
(Makrolon).
Protect the level sensor from mechanical wear and tear (knocks, hanging
down loose, etc.). For example, attach a level sensor pad to a safe place on
the heart-lung machine where the level sensor can be kept when not in use.
If other electronic equipment causes interference to the level sensor,
continuously check the level in the reservoir visually until the source of
interference is identified and removed.
Only use the "Level override" button in exceptional circumstances (e.g., while
filling or emptying the reservoir).
The pump is not stopped at a low level in "Override". Continuously check the
level in the reservoir visually in this case.
