Abstract
A heart support system is provided includes a control unit and sound-generating devices, said control unit configured to detect and process alarm events and to carry out control tasks in the heart support system. The heart support system further includes a storage device configured to store one or more defined alarm signal time curves and one or more alarm priorities. Each alarm signal time curve and each alarm priority is assigned to an alarm event. A sound-generation controller is configured such that when an alarm event is detected, the controller overlays a volume time curve onto the alarm signal time curve assigned to the alarm event in the storage device, said volume time curve based on the alarm priority assigned to the respective alarm event in the storage device and the length of time since the detection of the alarm event.
