Appears:
The venous pressure has reached the set venous pressure
high alarm limit.
Machine actions:
- The blood pump stops.
- The arterial blood line clamp closes in single needle

When the venous pressure is within the set alarm limits
again, the blood pump automatically starts.
Possible cause:

- Clotting has occurred in the venous blood line after
the venous pressure measurement point; in the blood
line, in the venous drip chamber, or in the needle.
