Abiomed Breethe OXY-1
Abiomed · Model Breethe OXY-1
The OXY-1 System is designed with an advanced gas exchange technology, including an innovative oxygen concentrator that provides full patient support with reduced O2 demand.
Typical Failure Modes
Compiled for this model from its own documentation and established engineering knowledge for this equipment class - not from a verified service record. Confirm against the manufacturer's service manual.
Low or unstable blood flow
HighSymptoms: Flow below target, flow alarms, pump speed / flow mismatch.
Root cause: Cannula position or kink, low circuit volume / venous collapse, an air lock, or a pump-head / drive fault.
Oxygenator / gas-exchange fault
HighSymptoms: Falling post-oxygenator O2, rising CO2, visible plasma leak or clot in the oxygenator.
Root cause: Oxygenator clotting or plasma breakthrough, or a sweep-gas supply / blender fault.
Air-in-circuit / bubble-detector alarm
HighSymptoms: Bubble-detector alarm, pump stops.
Root cause: Air entrained at a connection or via the venous line, or a detector fault.
Battery / power fault
MediumSymptoms: Short battery run time during transport, power alarm.
Root cause: Aged battery or charger fault.
Pressure-monitoring / sensor fault
MediumSymptoms: Pre-/post-pump or oxygenator pressures implausible.
Root cause: Pressure transducer or its connection.

Troubleshooting Approach
A starting sequence for this model, compiled from its documentation and engineering knowledge for this equipment class. Follow the manufacturer's service documentation for the actual procedure.
Symptom: Low blood flow
- This is an OEM-supported extracorporeal system - the perfusion / ICU team manages the circuit clinically.
- Check the cannulae for kinks and the circuit for an air lock.
- The care team assesses volume status and cannula position.
- Compare set pump speed to actual flow on the console.
- If a pump-head / drive fault is flagged, follow the emergency hand-crank / backup procedure and contact Abiomed.
Symptom: Poor gas exchange
- Confirm the sweep-gas supply, FiO2 and flow at the blender.
- Inspect the oxygenator for clot or plasma leak.
- Check post-oxygenator blood gases.
- Plan an oxygenator / circuit change with the perfusion team if performance is degraded.
- Escalate a blender or console fault to Abiomed.
