Sorin Group C5
Sorin Group · Model C5
Easily-accessible control elements and design which allow for operation closer to the system. A sophisticated yet intuitive user interface which can be quickly configured to accommodate all contexts. An upgradeable design which can be expanded with a complete line of performance - and safety-enhancing accessories, ensuring the C5 will remain state of the art for many years to come.
Key tips
- ·Never defeat or bypass a return-electrode monitoring (REM) alarm to finish a case - it's a direct burn risk.
- ·Verify OR table battery backup - a table that loses power mid-procedure is a real, documented incident type.
- ·Track surgical light lamp-hours rather than waiting for failure - a sudden failure mid-case is avoidable.
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.
Roller / centrifugal pump fault
HighSymptoms: A pump will not run at set flow, speed unstable, occlusion out of adjustment, flow-probe error.
Root cause: Worn roller-pump raceway / rollers, a centrifugal drive-motor / coupling fault, or a flow-probe fault.
Console / control-module fault
HighSymptoms: A pump module unresponsive, display errors, module not recognised by the console.
Root cause: Module electronics or the console-to-module link.
Battery / UPS fault
HighSymptoms: Short back-up run time, will not transfer cleanly on a power interruption.
Root cause: Aged battery / UPS pack.
Pressure / level / bubble-monitoring fault
MediumSymptoms: Pressure, reservoir-level or bubble-detector alarms implausible or not triggering.
Root cause: Transducer, level-sensor, or bubble-detector fault.
Heater-cooler / temperature fault
MediumSymptoms: Blood / cardioplegia temperature not tracking, heater-cooler alarm, flow fault.
Root cause: Heater-cooler pump / refrigeration or a temperature-probe fault.

PM Checklist
Preventive-maintenance tasks typical of this equipment class. Perform to the manufacturer's procedure and your facility's policy - this is general reference, not a schedule for this specific unit.
- ·Pre-case functional check
- ·Electrosurgical return-electrode cable inspection
- ·Table hydraulic / mechanical inspection
- ·Annual electrical safety test and full PM
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: A pump will not run correctly
- Move the function to a spare pump module / mast position to isolate module vs console.
- Check the roller occlusion setting and inspect the raceway / rollers (roller pumps).
- Check the centrifugal drive coupling and flow probe.
- Verify flow against an independent flow probe.
- Replace the roller kit or drive components as isolated; a CPB console must pass a full functional check before clinical use.
Symptom: Monitoring alarm implausible or not triggering
- Verify each pressure channel against a reference.
- Test the level and bubble detectors per the service procedure.
- Reseat the sensor connectors.
- Calibrate the pressure channels.
- Replace a sensor that fails its functional test - these are safety systems.

Safety & Recalls
Synced live from the FDA openFDA API.
- RECALL
Medtronic informed LivaNova that some of their DLP Pressure Disposable Display Sets are packaged in pouches which may have small pinholes (approximately 1mm or less in diameter). The result is a potential sterile barrier breach in the display sets. These display sets are included with LivaNova Perfusion Tube Sets (PTS) which were then distributed to customers.
- RECALL
Identification of excess plastic on the tip of the cannula.
- RECALL
Sorin Group is recalling certain lots of Edwards Lifesciences Suction Wand Model S099B due to presence of plastic particles inside the pouch.
- RECALL
Touch screen may be unresponsive, inhibiting user input.
- RECALL
Customer complaints of a leak between the blood and water compartments of the heat exchanger used in the oxygenators due to prolonged contact of the heat exchangers with sodium chloride causing micro-holes.
- RECALL
Touch screen may become unresponsive, inhibiting user input.
- RECALL
Defective product packaging may compromise product sterility.
- RECALL
Tubing set packaging seal between lid and tray may not be adequately sealed, compromosing sterility.
- RECALL
Vessel clamping device may break during use.
- RECALL
A weakness in the plastic packaging tray could cause the tray to crack; compromising product sterility.
- RECALL
Under certain conditions, venous reservoir on oxygenator may allow air into the system.
