8. Alarms and Troubleshooting Guide
8-103
This chapter describes possible causes for alarm messages and difficulties that may be
encountered with suggestions for corrective measures. When the FMS2000 recognizes a
situation that is compromising effective infusing, the system not only displays alarm
message, instructions for corrective measure, and sounds an audible alarm, but it also
stops pumping, heating, and reverts valve into recirculate position. To silence the alarm
and return to normal operation, follow instructions on the screen.
Operational alarms that may occur in the course of a procedure are:
• Air Detection
• Door Open
• Fluid Out
• High Pressure
• Low Battery
• Missing Disposable

• Heating Fault
• Over Temperature
Hardware Alarms:
• Air Detector Fault
• Heater Fault Latch
• Heater Power Read Back Fault

• Flow rate is too slow or will not go to the set rate
• Key pad does not accept input, too sensitive, or not responsive
• No message, no power, power off immediately after turn on
