1. A method of generating an alarm in a mechanically assisted circulation (MAC) system, the method comprising:
- monitoring a subsystem of the MAC system, by a subsystem monitor module, to detect a fault condition of the subsystem;
generating, by the subsystem monitor module, a series of indications for the fault condition indicative of whether the fault condition is detected during a respective time period;
processing the series of indications, by a fault handler module, to generate a fault status output indicative of whether the fault condition is classified as being active, the fault handler module classifying the fault condition as active if each of a first subseries of the series of indications at the end of the series of indications indicate detection of the fault condition, the first subseries including a predetermined set soaking number of the series of indications, the set soaking number being at least two; and
outputting an alarm for the fault condition in response to the fault condition being reclassified as active by the fault handler module.

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.
