to perform the controller software update. The monitor will display a message that a software
update is available when a back-up controller not already updated is connected. Controller
software updates include software for the controller’s UIC (User Interface Controller) and PMC
(Pump Motor Controller). Controller software updates can only be performed on controllers that
are not connected to a running pump, such as the patient’s back-up controller.
To Identify if a Controller is Ready for an Upgrade:
1. Turn on the HeartWare
®
Monitor and connect the data cable from the monitor to the data
port on the back-up controller.
