50 minutes into cardiopulmonary bypass for a routine CABG the main arterial roller pump stopped abruptly and the malfunction alarm appeared on the control mast. The pump was rebooted with no response.
Hand cranking was commenced at this point. The pump was powered down again and rebooted, this corrected the malfunction alarm.
Cardiopulmonary bypass was restarted with no further issues.
