1. A mechanically assisted circulation (MAC) system, comprising:
- a blood pump assembly;
a control unit configured to control operation of the blood pump assembly;
a blood pump assembly monitor module configured to detect each of a plurality of different fault conditions of the blood pump assembly and generate a respective series of indications for each of the different fault conditions, each of the respective series of indications being indicative of whether the respective fault condition of the blood pump assembly is detected during a respective time period of the indication;
a fault handler module configured to, for each of the different fault conditions, reclassify the fault condition from being inactive to being active in response to each of a first subseries of the respective series of indications being indicative of detection of the respective fault condition during the respective time period of the indication, the first subseries having a predetermined set soaking number, for the respective fault condition, of the series of indications; and
an alarm handler module configured to generate, for each of the different fault conditions, an alarm for the fault condition in response to the fault condition being reclassified as active.

Abstract
A method for outputting a combined power source alarm for an implantable blood pump includes determining a status for each of first and second power sources of the blood pump. A combined power source alarm based on the statuses of the first and second power sources is outputted. A method for generating an alarm based on fault detections in a mechanically assisted circulation system includes processing a series of fault detection indications to classify a fault as active or inactive. An alarm is generated if the fault is active for more than a predetermined amount of time.
