    Description

    Terumo Sarns Level Sensor II (red) (Part # 195274) alarm level sensor transducer for use with Sarns Advanced Perfusion System I, Perfusion System 800 and Perfusion System 900; Terumo Cardiovascular Systems Corp., Ann Arbor, MI.; REF 195274. Level sensors are distributed as a finished device, as part of a kit, with a perfusion system 8000 safety monitor or with an Advanced Perfusion System 1 base. Level sensors are attached to the color coded connectors on the module and then to a hard-shell reservoir. Level detection is used to monitor blood levels in hard-shell reservoirs.

    Reason

    The level sensor may not properly couple to the reservoir, resulting in a sensor "not attached" message, an alert or alarm condition, or a failure to detect a low level condition.
