1 RESPONSE TO SYSTEM ALARMS OR ALERTS
When a System alarm or alert condition occurs, an alarm or alert tone sounds and
text message appears on the display of the 2nd Generation CentriMag Primary
Console. Most alarms and alerts require some action on the user’s part to correct
the cause. The following table can be used to determine how to respond to an
alarm or alert condition.

2 SWITCHING TO BACKUP HARDWARE
Switch all components (Console, Motor, Flow Probe and cables) simultaneously and
then perform troubleshooting on the non-functioning System when it is no longer
being used for patient support.
The steps to switch to a backup Console, Motor and Flow Probe set are as follows:
© 2019 Abbott. All Rights Reserved.
Continue clamping the tubing while lowering the RPM to zero. Turn the main
Console’s power switch o󰀨. Turn on the backup System, and make sure that it
is properly assembled with the backup Motor.
Unthread the Pump retaining screw on the Motor by turning the screw counter-
clockwise several revolutions until the screw tip is clear of the locking groove
on the Pump.
Place the Pump in the backup Motor receptacle (the Pump will drop into place
in one of 3 orientations).
Rotate the Pump counterclockwise until it stops.
Thread the Pump retaining screw to secure the Pump in place by turning the
screw clockwise until it stops. Conrm that the retaining screw is visible in one
of the notches on the side of the pump. If the retaining screw is not visible in a
notch, loosen the retaining screw, remove the pump, remount, rotate the Pump
counterclockwise, and secure by advancing the retaining screw.
Pumping operation may now be re-established via the backup Console
by increasing the RPM to about 1000 RPM. Gradually increase RPM while
unclamping the Pump outow tubing. Continue to gradually increase the RPM
to achieve the desired ow. Pumping operation should be returned to the last
operating condition of the Pump. Be sure to reset options and alarms to match
those selected before hardware exchange.
CentriMagTM Circulatory Support System
Alarms and Alerts Quick Reference Guide
NOTE: To be available for emergency use, the backup Console, Motor and Flow
Probe must be transported with and in proximity of the main Console and Motor,
and plugged into AC power, with the main power switch OFF. The battery power for
the backup Console must be periodically assessed by turning the main power switch
ON, checking the status of the battery, and then turning the main power switch OFF.
In addition, the expiration date and maintenance due date of the backup Console’s
Battery, must be checked on a periodical basis.
For additional information, refer to the CentriMag Circulatory Support System
Operation Manual.

If the Pump has been OFF for more than ve minutes without ade-
quate anticoagulation, or if there has been a Motor Overheating con-
dition, it will be necessary to replace the Pump and circuit, including
cannulae.
