3.2 Physiologic Control Algorithms (continued)
3.2.2 [Ventricular Suction Detection] Alarm (continued)
The ventricular suction detection function will temporarily deactivate if:
ventricular suction detection will resume.
therefore, the suction detection level gets too low. Once the baseline value is above 1.8 L/min,
then the ventricular suction detection will resume.
The clinician changes the hematocrit input – the algorithm recognizes that a change in the
reactivates once a new baseline is established.
