mmHg, for approximately 10 seconds, when the blood pump is
started or rate is changed, or the level adjust button pushed, or
the RESET button touched.
• The venous pressure alarm limits spread to ±200 mmHg
around the indicated venous pressure, for approximately 10
seconds, when the blood pump is started or rate is changed, or
the level adjust button pushed, or the RESET button touched.
• The arterial and venous pressure alarm limits set to ±50 mmHg
of the indicated value approximately 10 seconds after the blood
pump is started or rate is changed, the level adjust button
pushed, or the RESET button touched.
• The minimum low venous pressure alarm limit is
approximately +10 mmHg.
• The main alarm lamp flashes and the audible alarm beeps 3
times approximately every 90 seconds, when the Instrument is
