System Overview
■ Active Air Removal (AAR) technology integral to the Performer CPB is used in
conjunction with a dedicated disposable Venous Air Removal Device (VARD) for
venous air sensing and automatic removal. This prevents air entering the venous
line from reaching the Bio-Pump and potentially being transmitted to the patient.
The Active Air Removal (AAR) technology with the VARD is only utilized when
operating the Resting Heart mode.
■ Level Detection utilizes a pair of level sensors to monitor changes in fluid or blood
volume in reservoirs. The system can be configured by the user to cause the
Bio-Pump to either Stop or Coast in response to a level sensor being activated,
preventing emptying the reservoir and transmitting air into the circuit. The user
can also configure this safety link to not change the Bio-Pump function, but only
produce visual and audible alarm cues. The level detection system is only utilized
when operating in the Bio-Pump CPB mode.
■ An AutoClamp System utilizes a pneumatically-powered Remote Tube Clamp
(RTC) that is placed on the arterial line and serves to prevent retrograde flow from
the aorta into the venous reservoir if the Bio-Pump run mode changes. When the
Bio-Pump enters either the STOP or COAST mode, or the pump speed is
manually reduced to 2000 RPM, there exists the potential for arterial retrograde
flow and entrainment of air into the arterial line from around the aortic cannulation
site. This poses a hazard to the patient if the pump is restarted before air is
removed. The AutoClamp System can be configured to automatically clamp the
arterial line when the Bio-Pump speed changes, prevent retrograde flow and
thereby prevent the potential to entrainment air around the aortic cannulation site.
The AutoClamp System is only utilized when operating in the Bio-Pump CPB
mode.
■ Pressure transducers enable user-defined alert and alarm limits for arterial line
pressures, venous line pressures, cardioplegia pressures, as well as the
individual roller pump pressures.
The Performer CPB provides an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) that will provide
battery power to operate the system for a minimum of 30 minutes with a fully loaded
system (see page 5-44) in the absence of line power.
Additional user conveniences include:
■ Cardioplegia delivery configuration options to select automatic shut off of the
cardioplegia pump to user-defined volume or time delivery parameters and a
user-defined option for two-pump blood and drug proportioning from 0:1 (pure
drug) to 15:1.
■ Graphic trending of flow, cardiac index, venous saturation, hematocrit, pressure,
and temperature data.
■ Capability to auto-regulate the speed of the Bio-Pump to maintain a desired
venous line pressure. This function is particularly useful when operating the
Medtronic® Resting Heart™ System and optimizing the relationship between
blood flow and left heart emptying.
■ An integrated printer to generate hard copy records.
■ A removable data storage card that allows perfusion and system information to be
stored electronically and then later formatted for generating reports.
■ Electric powered height adjustment for optimal operation, transport, and storage.
Introduction
Indications for Use
Contraindications
The device is not designed, sold, or intended for use except as indicated.
The centrifugal pump is contraindicated for use as a cardiotomy suction device.
Warnings
General
■ The user must read and understand all information in the Operator's Manual prior
to use. Failure to read and follow all instructions, or failure to observe all stated
warnings, could cause serious injury or death to the patient.
■ Only trained and qualified medical personnel should operate and monitor the
Performer CPB.
■ Use the system and any attached devices according to the manufacturer's
instructions and good medical practice.
■ The system is qualified only for durations appropriate to cardiopulmonary bypass
procedures. It has not been qualified, either through in-vitro, in-vivo, or clinical
studies, for use beyond 6 hours.
■ The Performer CPB enables the user to change the configuration of the default
factory settings. Reconfiguration in regards to how components respond to events
and assurance that users are properly trained to operate the Perfusion Screens
must be appropriately controlled by the user institution. Failure to establish such
controls may result in user error that could result in patient injury or death.
■ Following standard practices for electronic devices, closely monitor the system
when exposure to intense electrical noise or fluctuating line voltage occurs.
Strong electromagnetic fields emitted from other equipment in the operating room
(OR) (internal and external defibrillators, electrocautery devices, etc) or
fluctuations in the alternating current (AC) power line voltage may compromise
performance or damage the equipment.
■ Portable and mobile radio frequency (RF) communication devices may affect the
operation of this system. (See “Electromagnetic Emissions and Immunity
Declarations” on page 3-6.)
■ A standby Bio-Console® Extracorporeal Blood Pumping Console should be
available during cardiopulmonary bypass procedures.
■ Maintain a minimum Bio-Pump speed or clamp the pump outlet line to prevent
backflow.
■ Do not kink the VARD sensor cable.
Chapter 1
Warnings
■ Do not allow fluids to come into contact with the cable connections.
■ To prevent backflow of the patient's blood when the pump outlet tubing is open,
establish and maintain a minimum pump speed that overcomes line and patient
resistance. Failure to do this could allow retrograde flow and exsanguinate the
patient.
■ All gaseous bubbles have the potential for gaseous emboli and must be dealt with
carefully. Use of Safety Devices (Arterial Line Air Bubble Detector, VARD, Level
Detection, AutoClamp) and Safety Systems (Bio-Pump Backflow Alert) is
recommended to aid in the detection and elimination of gaseous bubbles in the
extracorporeal circuit.
■ When handcrank operation of a roller pump is necessary due to a failure of the
motor or motor controller, the roller pump digital display may remain illuminated.
Any RPM/flow values that are being displayed will not correlate to the manual
RPMs or flow generated using the handcrank.
■ A fluid isolator is necessary in the pressure monitoring line to prevent contact of
sterile fluid path with the instrument and damage to the instrument and pressure
system.
■ Do not bypass the fluid isolator/filter in the pressure lines for the pressure
connectors (PR1 through PR8, ALP, and VLP) or fluid could enter the transducer
and damage internal components.
■ Do not introduce fluid into the male pressure luer connections on the console.
■ Do not connect the external temperature probes in conjunction with
electrocautery usage; this may compromise the temperature values measuring.
■ The device has been designed and tested in conformity with the Electro-Magnetic
Compatibility standard EN60601-1-2 (2003). It is advisable, however, to avoid its
use in the presence of electromagnetic fields or other equipment causing
interference (eg, cellular phones). Special information regarding installation, use,
and precautions are described in “Electromagnetic Emissions and Immunity
Declarations” on page 3-6.
■ The utilization of other manufacturers' probes (eg, flow and temperature) may
jeopardize the performance of the device and, as a consequence, the
measurement reliability.
■ The equipment is not protected against defibrillator discharges.
AAR Controller
■ Do not operate the Active Air Removal (AAR) system with device or components
other than the Medtronic® Resting Heart™ Module. There are no safety or
performance data known to Medtronic that establish compatibility of any other
manufacturer's device or components with the AAR system. Any substitution of
components becomes the responsibility of the user. Such substitution will void
Medtronic's warranty and the user will bear full responsibility for any adverse
consequences stemming from such use.
■ Do not use the integrated AAR Controller until proper operating conditions are
verified. Prior to each use, it is the responsibility of the user to determine that the
system is in proper operating condition as described in this manual.
AutoClamp System
■ To prevent backflow of the patient's blood when the pump outlet tubing is open,
establish and maintain a minimum pump speed that overcomes line and patient
resistance. Use the AutoClamp System on the arterial line. Failure to do this could
allow retrograde flow and introduce air into the arterial circuit.
Introduction
Warnings
■ Prior to configuring the Arterial AutoClamp to CLOSE when the Bio-Pump enters
the COAST mode, it is the user's responsibility to test their extracorporeal circuit
and confirm the conduct of perfusion at their institution does not generate arterial
backflow when the Bio-Pump enters the COAST mode or the Bio-Pump speed is
manually reduced to the “detent” position.
■ If the Bio-Pump enters the Coast Mode in response to the “AIR DETECTED BY
ABD” alarm, pump RPM will remain at 2000 and will not automatically ramp up
after the air is no longer detected by the ABD or after the ABD is turned off. Flow
can only be resumed manually after careful assurance that air has been
completely removed from the arterial circuit.
■ If the Bio-Pump enters the Coast Mode in response to the “AIR DETECTED BY
ABD” alarm and the AutoClamp is configured to CLOSE, the AutoClamp will not
automatically OPEN after Bio-Pump flow is resumed. The user must manually
press the AutoClamp button on the Main Run Screen to open the clamp after
careful assurance there will be forward flow.
■ The Self Test must be performed prior to each use of the device. If the AutoClamp
System does not operate as described during the Self Test, do not use the
AutoClamp System. Contact Medtronic Service.
■ Resume flow only after careful assurance there is no air in the arterial circuit.
■ Ensure the air pressure to the AutoClamp System is within the range specified in
Chapter 3.
Battery/UPS
■ If a partially charged battery is used, there may be less than 30 minutes of battery
power available.
■ When the Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS) converts the system to battery
power, ALL pumps, pump functions, safety systems, alerts, alarms, monitors,
controls, the Pinch Valve and the Central Information Display (CID) are active and
function the same as when the system is on AC power.
Chapter 1
Warnings
Tubing
■ Tubing must not be reversed in the roller pump as air embolism may occur.
■ Use only tubing of the material and sizes specified for this system.
Roller Pump
■ Set the roller pump to the Stop Mode before installing tubing.
■ The roller pump safety cover interlocks are not enabled until after the Resting
Heart™ Screen is opened. Ensure that the roller pump safety covers remain
closed during the Power On Self-Test (POST).
■ The roller pump safety cover interlocks are not enabled until after the Resting
Heart™ Screen is opened. Ensure that the roller pump safety covers remain
closed when in the Emergency Mode.
■ The roller pump safety cover interlocks are not enabled until after the Resting
Heart™ Screen is opened. Ensure the roller pump safety covers remain closed if
roller pump function is required before enabling the Resting Heart™ Screen.
Handcrank
■ If handcrank operation is necessary due to the loss of AC and battery power, flow
detection and safety systems are inoperable. Closely monitor the circuit to prevent
introduction of air.
Bio-Pump
■ If air enters the Bio-Pump, stop perfusion as gaseous emboli may be introduced
into the patient.
■ If the Bio-Pump stops, immediately clamp the arterial line and venous line. Check
for air in the arterial line that may have resulted from backflow. If air is visible,
remove from the arterial circuit before resuming bypass.
■ If the Bio-Pump enters the Coast Mode in response to the “AIR DETECTED BY
ABD” alarm, pump flow will remain at 0.5 L/min and will NOT automatically ramp
up after the air is no longer detected by the ABD or after the ABD is turned off.
Flow can only be resumed manually after careful assurance that air has been
completely removed from the arterial circuit.
Introduction
Cautions
■ The Air Bubble Detector (ABD) sensor must be positioned at a sufficient distance
from the patient to allow the air detection system sufficient time to respond before
air can reach the patient.
■ The ABD sensor latch must be completely closed to secure the sensors to the
tubing.
■ The ABD sensor must be positioned so the cable is between the tubing and the
floor.
■ The performance of the ABD must be verified before each use.
■ A gray icon (with a red X) for the Cardioplegia (CPG) Air Bubble Detector icon
indicates the sensor is DISABLED and will not generate an alarm if air enters the
cardioplegia circuit.
Cautions
■ Do not use sharp instruments on the CID, Bio-Pump control panel scroll arrows,
or the roller pump Start/Stop button as these may damage the device. Restrict
touching the screen with fingers only.
■ Installing the Bio-Pump with the motor revolving may damage the Bio-Pump.
■ When assembling the Bio-Pump Centrifugal Blood Pump, Model BPX-80, for use
with the Performer CPB, do not use alcohol or alcohol-based fluids. Do not expose
to chemical agents as they may affect the integrity of these devices. Anesthesia
solutions such as FORANE4 are known to degrade polycarbonate plastics. Avoid
contact of these solutions with the BPX-80 Bio-Pump.
■ Using the Bio-Pump beyond labeled recommendations may result in failure of the
centrifugal blood pump, reduced pumping capacity, leaks, excessive blood
trauma, and degradation or corrosion of blood contact materials, which may pass
through the blood to the patient.
■ Refer to the instructions included with the Medtronic® Resting Heart™ System or
specific manufacturers’ disposable circuits.
■ Maintain a minimum pump speed or clamp the circuit's arterial line to prevent
arterial backflow.
■ If the pressurized gas fails or the air hose is disconnected, the Remote Tube
Clamp (RTC) will close.
■ Do not drop the O2Sat/Hct sensors as shock may damage the sensor.
■ Do not adjust the occlusion setting on the roller pump insert; doing so will void the
warranty.
■ Ensure the castor brakes are engaged before use.
■ When transporting the machine, reduce the equipment’s height to the lowest
position to avoid tipping.
■ Only ship the Performer CPB in a Medtronic-approved crate. Contact your service
personnel for the correct procedure.
■ After each use, clean the device as per the instructions on page 6-2 and ensure
all components are in proper working condition.

Roller Pump, Roller Inserts, Tube Inserts, and Tubing
Roller Pumps
Roller pumps are indicated for moving fluids through a flexible tube. As each roller
passes through the pump raceway, it occludes the tube and displaces the fluid in the
tube in the direction of rotation.
Each pump only rotates in a clockwise direction.
Uses include, but are not limited to, propulsion of arterial blood and myocardial
preservation solutions, and extraction of fluids from the thorax or vascular chambers.
The Performer CPB comes with two (2) large roller pumps with a maximum flow
potential of 3.7 L/min (PM1) or 1.5 L/min (PM2) and two (2) small roller pumps with a
maximum flow capacity of 1.1 L/min (PM4) or 0.64 L/min (PM3).

Response Definition
Stop A Stop response causes the pump speed to go to zero and the motor to enter
the Stop Mode. The pump must be restarted manually after the event is cleared
or the safety system is disabled. If a Stop response is executed while the
centrifugal pump is in the Servo Mode, the pump will switch to the Manual
Mode after it is restarted.
Coast (for In the Resting Heart mode, a Coast response causes the Bio-Pump speed to
Bio-Pump reduce to a flow of 0.5 L/min. As the pump speed adjusts to achieve 0.5 L/min,
only) the transient RPM change may not be sufficient to prevent backflow or may be
high enough to allow some forward flow. The pump flow will remain at 0.5 L/min
until the event is cleared or the safety system is disabled. The pump speed will
then automatically ramp up its speed to the previous level.
Warning: If the Bio-Pump enters the Coast Mode in response to the “AIR
DETECTED BY ABD” alarm, pump flow will remain at 0.5 L/min and will not
automatically ramp up after the air is no longer detected by the ABD or after the
ABD is turned off. Flow can only be resumed manually after careful assurance
that air has been completely removed from the arterial circuit.
In the Bio-Pump CPB mode, a Coast response causes the Bio-Pump speed to
be reduced to an RPM of 2000. This RPM may not generate sufficient pressure
to prevent backflow, or it may be enough to allow some forward flow. The pump
will remain at 2000 RPM until the event is cleared or the safety system is
disabled. The pump speed will then automatically ramp up its speed to the
previous level.
Warning: If the Bio-Pump enters the Coast mode in response to the “AIR
DETECTED BY ABD” alarm, pump speed will remain at 2000 RPM and will not
automatically ramp up after the air is no longer detected by the ABD or after the
ABD is turned off. Flow can only be resumed manually after careful assurance
that air has been completely removed from the arterial circuit.
Pause (for A Pause response causes the roller pump speed to be temporarily reduced to
roller zero. The speed remains at zero until the event is cleared or the safety system
pumps is disabled. The pump will then automatically start and gradually ramp up its
only) speed to the previous/original level.
Message A Message Only response causes a message about the event to appear in the
Only top line of the message bar. The message may occur concurrent with the other
visual and audible cues representing an alert or alarm condition.
No If No Response is selected, then no safety system connection is established
Response between the device and the pump.
Response Definition
CLOSE A CLOSE response causes the solenoid valve in the AutoClamp Interface
Module to release gas pressure and allow the spring clamp in the Remote
Tube Clamp to pinch the tubing. The clamp remains in the CLOSE position
until (1) the AutoClamp is disabled or (2) the condition that initiated the
clamp to CLOSE has been corrected.

3. T1 and T2: The Main Run Screen is configured to display two temperatures, T1
and T2. Connect a YSI™ Series 400 compatible temperature probe to the jack
labeled T1 on the back of the console to monitor the temperature in the T1
display (see the arterial circuit). Connect a YSI™ Series 400 compatible
temperature probe to the jack labeled T2 on the back of the console to monitor
the temperature in the T2 display (see the venous circuit).
4. Air Bubble Detector (ABD): The doppler ultrasonic flow probe includes an
integral macro-air bubble detector. The ABD icon on the Main Run Screen
defaults to the ABD Disabled Mode when the system is powered up. The top line
of the message bar will display “ABD OFF.” To activate or enable the air bubble
detection function, press the ABD DISABLED icon. When enabled, the ABD icon
will change to ABD ENABLED and the display “ABD OFF” will clear from the top
line of the message bar. In the event arterial air is detected, the ABD icon will
change to AIR DETECTED.
5. Arterial Line Pressure (ALP): To display the arterial line pressure, connect a
pressure monitoring line with an isolator between a stopcock in the arterial
segment of the extracorporeal circuit and the pressure luer port labeled ALP.
Ensure that the portion of the monitoring line from the circuit stopcock to the fluid
isolator membrane is thoroughly primed.
Warning: Do not introduce fluid into the male pressure luer connection on the
console.
By pressing the Pressure Mode button, the user can change the ALP display to
read either systolic , mean , diastolic , or instantaneous pressure.
6. Cardiac Index: In the Patient Information Screen (see “Patient Information” on
page 5-100), ensure that the correct patient height (in cm) and weight (in
kilograms) are entered. These parameters are then used to calculate the
patient's Body Surface Area (BSA) in square meters. Cardiac index represents
either the flow in liters per minute per square meter of body surface area
(L/MIN/M2) or milliliters per minute per kilogram of body weight (ML/MIN/KG).
Press to change the display to view either parameter.
7. Oxygen Cons./Oxygen Deliv.: This display enables the perfusionist to
continuously monitor the milliliters per minute of oxygen the patient is consuming
or the milliliters per minute of oxygen being delivered to the patient. Oxygen
consumption is based on the following calculation: OXYGEN CONS. = 1.39 x
(Hct/3) x (.999 - OXYGEN SAT) x BLOOD FLOW x 10. Oxygen delivery is based
on the following calculation: OXYGEN DELIV. = 1.39 x (Hct/3) x .999 x BLOOD
FLOW x 10. Both equations rely on the continuous input from the Doppler
ultrasound probe measuring the blood flow and the input from the optical probe
measuring oxy-hemoglobin saturation and hematocit. Press to change the
display to view either parameter.
8. Hematocrit: When the probe used to monitor the oxy-hemoglobin saturation of
mixed venous blood is connected to the 9.5 mm (3/8 in) connector/cuvette, it will
simultaneously detect the hematocrit of the blood and display the value in the
Hematocrit window. The unit of measure is percent (%). Press to adjust the low
Hematocrit alert using the pop-up window.
9. Oxygen Sat (%): To display the oxy-hemoglobin saturation of mixed venous
blood, connect the optical probe to the 9.5 mm (3/8 in) connector/cuvette in the
venous segment of the extracorporeal circuit. Press to adjust the low Oxygen Sat
alert using the pop-up window.
Warning: Do not introduce fluid into the male pressure luer connection on the
console.
Zero the transducer (see “Zeroing the Pressure Transducers” on page 5-87). By
pressing the Pressure Mode button, the user can change the VLP display to read
either systolic , mean , diastolic , or instantaneous pressure. (See
Figure 5-34 on page 5-88.)
11. VLP Servo: The VLP servo automates the relationship between pump RPM and
changes in venous line pressure (VLP). When the VLP servo is engaged and the
venous line pressure becomes more negative, the system automatically reduces
pump RPM to facilitate a consistent VLP value.
Note: The VLP servo does not override the Bio-Pump safety system responses
for Coast or Stop.
12. VARD Servo: The VARD servo automates the relationship between pump RPM
and the occurrence of air in the VARD. When the VARD servo is engaged and air
enters the VARD, the system automatically reduces pump RPM to facilitate
efficient removal of the air. The VARD servo overrides the pump responses set
up for the “Air In VARD” and “Too Much Air In VARD” safety systems. The system
will indicate with acoustic and visual indicators when air does enter the VARD.

AAR Controller - Venous Air Removal Device (Resting Heart mode only)
AAR Controller - Venous Air Removal Device (Resting Heart mode only)
Overview
The Medtronic® AAR Controller and the Medtronic® Affinity® Venous Air Removal
Device (VARD) combine to form a safety system for sensing air in the Resting Heart™
System and then activating a pinch valve that opens a vacuum line for removing air
that may enter the venous circuit. This minimizes the probability of venous air
reaching the Bio-Pump and potentially being transmitted to the patient.
Two pairs of ultrasonic fluid sensors in the VARD will detect changes in the air/fluid
level within the air separation portion at the inlet of the device. When the level drops
below the sensors, the AAR Controller software opens the pinch valve.
An air purge line is connected from the luer port at the top of the VARD to a blood
collection canister. The canister is connected to a regulated wall vacuum source. The
air purge line is placed in a mechanical pinch valve on the Performer CPB console.
The normal resting position of the pinch valve is closed. When air is detected, the
valve is opened to remove the air, then immediately returned to the closed position.
The AAR Controller - VARD Run Screen includes the following visual alert and alarm
indications and icons representing the status of functional components
(see Figure 5-24).

■ a distinct audible alarm tone will sound
■ the system status LED will change to red
■ the message bar will change to red
■ the top line of the message bar will display
“TOO MUCH AIR IN VARD: CHECK VACUUM”
■ Bio-Pump flow reduction may be required until venous air is reduced or
eliminated
Note: The Bio-Pump flow can be reduced manually or configured to occur
automatically by setting the Bio-Pump response to Coast.
■ The pinch valve will open, allowing wall vacuum to suction air out of the VARD
until no remaining air/blood mixture is detected by the lower pair of ultrasonic
sensors.
■ the red “TOO MUCH AIR IN VARD” icon will change to the yellow “AIR IN
VARD” icon
■ the red message bar will clear
■ “TOO MUCH AIR IN VARD: CHECK VACUUM” in the top line of the message
bar will change to “AIR IN VARD”
■ the system status LED will change from red to yellow concurrent with the
audible alert tone
■ As wall vacuum suctions the remaining air out of the VARD until the ultrasonic
sensors detect no remaining air/blood mixture in the upper area of the VARD,
the AAR Controller then closes the pinch valve, the yellow “AIR IN VARD” icon
clears, the audible alert tone ceases, the system status LED returns to green,
and “AIR IN VARD” clears from the top line of the message bar.
4. The Fluid-In-Line (FIL) Sensor read-only icon:
■ Displays when air or fluid is being detected by the ultrasonic sensor
downstream from the mechanical pinch valve.
■ In the event excess fluid is being detected by the ultrasonic sensor, the AAR
Controller software closes the mechanical pinch valve.
5. The Wall Vacuum Alert read-only icon:
■ Displays the wall vacuum pressure when a vacuum pressure sensor line is
connected to the pressure luer port labeled PR7 on the Performer CPB
console.
■ The icon will change between gray and red at a default threshold pressure of
-200 mm Hg detected at PR7.
■ When the suction is more negative than -200 mm Hg, the icon will be gray.
■ When the suction is less negative than -200 mm Hg, the icon will change to
red, indicating a low suction alert, accompanied by a distinct audible alert
tone, the system status LED changing to yellow, and the top line of the
message bar displaying “VARD: LOW SUCTION.”
■ All alert indications reset automatically when the PR7 pressure becomes
more negative than -200 mm Hg.
Note: The wall vacuum alert icon is the default display for any pressure
monitoring line connected to PR7.
Chapter 5
AAR Controller - Venous Air Removal Device (Resting Heart mode only)
remove the air. The pinch valve will open for 0.5 second and then close.
Repeat as necessary to clear the air from the VARD.
8. The AAR Controller Mode button indicates the status of the automatic air
removal function of the AAR Controller.
When in Auto Mode, the system will:
■ detect air in the VARD
■ provide concurrent visual and audible alert or alarm cues
■ command the pinch valve to open automatically to evacuate the air in the
VARD
■ After the air in the VARD is removed and the upper pair of sensors detect
fluid, the system will command the pinch valve to close automatically.

Overview
The Level Sensing system is a safety device for detecting blood and fluid levels in a
reservoir. The Level Sensing System incorporates a pair of color-coded capacitive
sensors that are attached to the outside of the reservoir. One sensor is designated as
an Alert sensor (yellow); the other sensor is designated as the Alarm sensor (red).
Double-sided adhesive tape is used to secure the level sensors to the reservoir
surface. The sensors are connected to the Performer CPB console via a single LEMO
jack. If the fluid in the reservoir level drops below the position of a level sensor, it will
detect the air/fluid level and cause audible and visual cues to be emitted.
In the event the fluid level drops below the Alert sensor, the system will automatically
generate an audible alert tone, the level detect icon changes to yellow, the System
Status LED changes to yellow, and a message appears in the top line of the Message
Bar. A red LED on the alert sensor will also illuminate. In the event the fluid level drops
below the Alarm sensor, the system will automatically generate an audible alarm tone,
the level detect icon changes to red, the System Status LED changes to red, and a
message appears in the top line of a red message bar. A red LED on the alarm sensor
will also illuminate.
The Performer CPB enables the user to link the Level Sensing System to the
Bio-Pump control or to a roller pump control and either slow down or stop the pump
and prevent further reduction of blood volume in the reservoir. This minimizes the
probability of air being transmitted to the patient.

Overview
The Performer CPB incorporates an optional AutoClamp System to be placed on the
arterial line when using a Centrifugal pump as the arterial pump. When the Bio-Pump
run mode changes (STOP, COAST, LOW FLOW) there exists the potential for blood
to flow retrograde through the arterial line from the aortic cannula into the venous
reservoir. This "backflow" may cause entrainment of air into the arterial line from
around the aortic cannulation site. If unrecognized when forward flow is resumed, air
may be introduced into the aorta. Placing a pneumatically powered tube clamp on the
arterial line serves to prevent retrograde flow and thereby prevent the potential to
entrain air around the aortic cannulation site.

AutoClamp System (Bio-Pump CPB mode only)
Manual reduction in Bio-Pump speed can result in the RPM’s being too low to
overcome resistance in the arterial line and maintain forward flow. This can result in
a negative, or retrograde flow through the arterial line detected by the ultrasonic
arterial flow sensor. The AutoClamp setting can be configured to CLOSE when the
Bio-Pump speed is manually changed that results in a negative, or retrograde arterial
flow.
Manual reduction in Bio-Pump speed can result in the flow dropping below a
user-defined low flow limit and create a BIOPUMP LOW FLOW event. The AutoClamp
setting can be configured to CLOSE when the Bio-Pump speed is manually changed
that results in the flow reaching the BIOPUMP LOW FLOW limit setting.
BIOPUMP LOW See page 5-94 to set the Bio-Pump Low Flow Limit. When the

Warning: Only pressure monitoring sets that incorporate an air-fluid pressure isolator
may be used with the Performer CPB pressure monitoring system.
The Performer CPB allows for the input of user-selectable pressure limit values and
input of the pump responses when the pressure limits are reached. Pressure safety
limits with their concomitant pump responses are typically defined as alert limits and
alarm limits. Alert limits typically serve to elevate the user's awareness of changing
line pressure conditions. Alarm limits typically serve to warn the user of high pressure
situations and incorporate an automatic pump response to prevent the high pressure
from creating a catastrophic event.
The factory default alert and alarm pressure limits and the pump responses for the
Resting Heart mode are listed as follows:
The factory default alert and alarm pressure limits and the pump responses for the
Bio-Pump CPB mode are listed as follows:
Note: The factory default alert and alarm pressure limits can be edited before and
during each case. All edits are saved when the Home button is pressed or the system
is powered off.

Alert Limit
The alert limit should be set to warn of slowly changing conditions that may raise the
average pressure significantly, such as a cannula misalignment or increased systemic
resistance. When the pressure exceeds an alert limit:
■ the system status LED illuminates yellow
■ a distinct audible alert tone sounds
■ the top line of the message bar displays the pressure limit that was exceeded
(ALP Overpressure Alert, CPG Overpressure Alert, etc)
■ pump speed(s) may change depending on the factory default pump responses or
changes made during editing
Correct the high pressure condition. When the pressure drops below the alert limit,
the alert indicators will clear automatically.
Start the pump(s) if configured to stop for an alert condition.
Alarm Limit
The alarm limit should be set to warn of either instantaneous high pressure situations
that may rupture a tubing circuit (cardioplegia circuit) or when other line pressures
exceed otherwise normal clinically acceptable limits (restriction in the Bio-Pump
circuit). When the pressure exceeds the user-defined alarm limit:
■ The System Status LED changes to red
■ Distinct audible alarm tones sound
■ The message bar changes to red
■ The top line displays the pressure channel that was exceeded (ALP Overpressure
Alarm, CPG Overpressure Alarm, etc)
■ The appropriate pressure pop-up window will appear
■ Pump speed(s) may change depending on the factory default pump responses,

Chapter 5
Options Menu Screen
Response Definition
Stop A Stop response causes the pump speed to go to zero and the motor to
enter the Stop Mode. The pump must be restarted manually after the
event is cleared or the safety system is disabled. If a Stop response is
executed while the Bio-Pump is in the Servo Mode, the pump will switch
to the Manual Mode after it is restarted.
Coast (for In Resting Heart mode, a Coast response causes the Bio-Pump speed to
Bio-Pump reduce to a flow of 0.5 L/min. As the pump speed adjusts to achieve 0.5
only) L/min, the transient RPM change may not be sufficient to prevent
backflow or may be high enough to allow some forward flow. The pump
flow will remain at 0.5 L/min until the event is cleared or the safety system
is disabled. The pump speed will then automatically ramp up its speed to
the previous level.
Warning: If the Bio-Pump enters the Coast Mode in response to the “AIR
DETECTED BY ABD” alarm, pump flow will remain at 0.5 L/min and will
not automatically ramp up after the air is no longer detected by the ABD
or after the ABD is turned off. Flow can only be resumed manually after
careful assurance that air has been completely removed from the arterial
circuit.
In the Bio-Pump CPB mode, a Coast response causes the Bio-Pump
speed to be reduced to an RPM of 2000. This RPM may not generate
sufficient pressure to prevent backflow, or it may be enough to allow some
forward flow. The pump will remain at 2000 RPM until the event is cleared
or the safety system is disabled. The pump speed will then automatically
ramp up its speed to the previous level.
Warning: If the Bio-Pump enters the Coast mode in response to the “AIR
DETECTED BY ABD” alarm, pump speed will remain at 2000 RPM and
will not automatically ramp up after the air is no longer detected by the
ABD or after the ABD is turned off. Flow can only be resumed manually
after careful assurance that air has been completely removed from the
arterial circuit.
Pause (for A Pause response causes the roller pump speed to be temporarily
roller pumps reduced to zero. The speed remains at zero until the event is cleared or
only) the safety system is disabled. The pump will then automatically start and
gradually ramp up its speed to the previous/original level.
Message A Message response causes a message about the event to appear in the
top line of the message bar. The message may occur concurrent with the
other visual and audible cues representing an alert or alarm condition.
None If None is selected, then no safety system connection is established
between the device and the pump.
Response Definition
CLOSE A CLOSE response causes the solenoid valve in the AutoClamp Interface
Module to release gas pressure and allow the spring clamp in the Remote
Tube Clamp to pinch the tubing. The clamp remains in the CLOSE position
until (1) the AutoClamp is disabled or (2) the condition that initiated the
clamp to CLOSE has been corrected.

CID Failure
In the event the CID malfunctions, causing the screen to “lock up” or go blank, the LCD
on the Bio-Pump control panel serves as the emergency backup monitoring screen.
The following parameters can be monitored:
■ Bio-Pump RPM
■ Venous Line Pressure
■ Arterial Line Pressure
■ Cardioplegia Line Pressure (PR4)
■ Venous Saturation
■ Hematocrit
During CID malfunction, ALL safety connections and servos that were enabled using
the CID before it failed would still be enabled and functional. This would include:
■ Arterial Line Air Bubble Detection
■ Cardioplegia Air Bubble Detection
■ Air-In-VARD Alert
■ Too Much Air In VARD Alarm
■ Pressure Alert and Alarm Safety Limits
■ Bio-Pump Low Flow
■ Bio-Pump Backflow
■ Minimum Hct
■ VLP Servo
