Installation
Prior to clinical use, installation and testing of the Console shall be
performed by an authorized ABIOMED
®
Service Representative.
CAUTION: The RECOVER BP Console must be plugged into AC
power to maintain a charged battery.
CAUTION: To remove all AC power from the Console, unplug the
power cord from the AC outlet.
Checking the Console Before Each Use
WARNING: The RECOVER BP Console does not contain any
user-serviceable parts. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do NOT
attempt to remove the Console housing or to replace the Console
Battery.
Prior to each clinical use, perform the following checks to determine
that the Console is working properly and is ready to use:
1 Visually inspect for physical damage to the equipment housing,
display, and power cord. Be sure that all required parts of the
System, such as cables and the Hand Pump, are present.
2 Turn the Console ON using the AC power switch on the left side.
3 Allow the Console to complete the Self-Test. Verify that all
indicator lights work and air audibly vents from the left and right
driveline connectors. Verify that the audible alarm indicator is
operating properly by listening for the alarm tone during the Self-
Test.
NOTE: The audible alarm indicator can be tested during Console
operation by pressing any ON or OFF key whose indicator light is on.
