Alarm Delay
For some AIC alarms, there is a short delay between the triggered event and the audible annunciation and visual
display of the alarm—and the display of the warning on-screen. See Alarm Delay Information table, directly below.

Alarm Display

The alarm window is located in the upper left region of the display screen on the front of the AIC. Alarms are listed
in order of priority, with the highest priority alarm at the top. Up to three alarms may be displayed at one time.
The colored background behind the highest priority alarm will alternate between two shades of that color. The
white panel displayed to the right of the alarm header contains instructions for resolving the alarm condition. The
instructions should be followed in the order given.
Mute Alarm Function
Pressing the MUTE ALARM button on the upper right of the AIC display screen will silence the audible alarm
indicator for 2 minutes (for red or yellow alarms) or 5 minutes (for white advisory alarms). When an alarm is
silenced, the words MUTE ALARM next to the button are replaced by the mute alarm indicator, a crossed-out bell
icon.
Alarm History Screen
The alarm history may be accessed through the MENU. This screen −Figure 5, contains a log of the alarms that
occurred during the case.
The AIC maintains a long-term log that is saved after the AIC is powered down or after a power failure, and this
information may be downloaded by Abiomed personnel.

Alarms That Resolve On Their Own
The audible indicator will shut off if an alarm condition is resolved before you press MUTE ALARM. The visual
message, however, will continue to be displayed, with the alarm header on a gray background, for 20 minutes or
until you press MUTE ALARM. This allows you to identify the alarm that occurred.
