  • Reason
    The manufacturer has received a complaint involving a cs300 iabp that did not pump due to an electrical test failure code #58 (power up vent tests fail), maintenance code #3, and an autofill failure. an electrical test failure code #58 is caused by a solenoid valve requiring more power than the solenoid driver board can deliver to open the valve. the lack of power prevents the coil from moving the plunger causing the valve not to open.
