Monitor
The monitor (Figure 28) is a touch screen tablet that uses proprietary software to display system
performance and to permit adjustment of selected controller parameters. When connected
to a controller, the monitor receives continuous data from the controller and displays real-time
and historical pump information. The monitor also displays alarm conditions and can provide

Controller Power Sources
The controller requires two power sources for safe operation: either two batteries, or one
battery (Figure 29) and an AC adapter (Figure 30) or DC adapter (Figure 31). While active,
patients will typically use two batteries. While relaxing or sleeping, patients should use power from
an electrical outlet (AC adapter) because it provides power for an unlimited period of time.
