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.

Manner of raising alarm for a heart support system

A component for conducting a fluid having a sensor, wherein the component comprises an inner and an outer wall, where-in the inner wall is configured to conduct the fluid, the outer wall terminates the component to the outside, and a wall region is formed between the inner and outer walls. The component in accordance with the invention is characterized in that the sensor has an electromechanical element and is arranged in the wall region at the inner wall, wherein the sensor is adapted to measure a degree of deformation of the inner wall in the region of the sensor by means of the sensor element and to output it as an electrical signal, wherein the sensor element preferably has a length and/or a width of ≤50 μm.
