13.5.4 SVR Faults/Alerts
13.5.5 PAP Faults/Alert
*NOTE This fault occurs while monitoring pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) with the pressure
cable in HemoSphere Swan-Ganz module monitoring mode.
Alert: iCO – Warm Injectate Injectate temperature within 8 °C of blood
temperature
Injectate temperature probe malfunction
Patient CCO cable malfunction
Use cooler injectate fluid
Change injectate temperature probe
Change patient CCO cable
Table 13-10 HemoSphere Swan-Ganz module SVR faults/alerts
Message Possible causes Suggested actions
Alert: SVR – Slaved-In
Pressures Signal Loss
HemoSphere advanced monitor analog
input port not configured to accept MAP
and CVP
Analog input interface cable connections
not detected
Inaccurate input signal
External monitor malfunction
Verify correct voltage range and low/high voltage values
on the HemoSphere advanced monitor for external
monitor
Verify cable connection between the monitoring platform
and bedside monitor is secure
Verify correct height/weight entries and units of measure
for patient’s BSA
Check for signal at external monitor’s analog output
device
Change external device module, if used
Alert: SVR – Configure Analog
Inputs for SVR Monitoring
HemoSphere advanced monitor analog
input ports not configured to accept MAP
and CVP signals
Use the analog input settings screen to configure analog
input ports 1 and 2 for external monitor MAP and CVP
signal output
Table 13-11 HemoSphere Swan-Ganz module/pressure cable PAP faults/alerts*
Message Possible causes Suggested actions
Fault: PAP – Pressure
Disconnected
Pulmonary artery pressure low and non-
pulsatile
Pulmonary artery catheter disconnected
Cable connections not detected
Edwards pressure cable or sensor
malfunction
Internal system malfunction
Verify pulmonary artery catheter connection
Verify connection between pressure cable and sensor and
check for missing pins
Change pressure cable
Change pressure sensor
If problem persists, contact Edwards Technical Support
