OCs system is a uniform charging platform for telecom network carriers that helps in charge and rating function for telecom services along with account balance management function. It is an advanced version of the traditional offline charging systems which help telecom operators to improve their business efficiency. It can also provide accurate credit control to subscribers, thereby helping them avoid arrears. In addition, it can help to reduce the risk of prepaid customers’ fraud and prevent revenue loss due to unauthorized usage of the telecommunication service.
Currently, donor hearts with ejection fractions of 40-50% or higher are rejected from the transplant list because of the high probability of primary graft dysfunction in the recipient. The OCS Heart System allows these marginal donor hearts to be procured and assessed for clinical viability after coronary perfusion, improving the potential of increasing the donor pool.
In a recent clinical study, 94 out of 100 patients who received donation-after-circulatory-death donor hearts preserved with the OCS system were alive six months after transplant, compared to 91 out of 100 patients who had a standard cold storage preservation. The OCS system enables the heart to be transported longer distances than can be accomplished with the traditional cold storage preservation technique, which may increase the pool of potential donors.
The OCS machine is designed to perform normothermic ex vivo heart perfusion with oxygenated and nutrient-supplemented donor blood. Its portable enclosure is designed to maintain the aortic flow and pressure at approximately 700-800 ml/min and 75 mmHg, respectively. The heart can be withdrawn and moved from the OCS tray for manipulation if necessary during transportation.
To collect the information needed for airbag deployment, the OCS system uses a number of sensors placed under the driver’s seat. The sensors identify the passenger size, whether a child seat is in use and whether the front-passenger seat has been occupied. This data is sent to the airbag module, which makes a decision about whether the passenger side airbag should be deployed.
A faulty sensor or a connection between the sensors and the OCS system can cause the airbags to fail to deploy during a crash, leading to serious injuries or even death. Typically, the airbag module will send a code B00A0 to the OCS system to indicate that there is an issue. This code indicates that there is a problem with one or more of the passenger-sensing sensors.
When repairing a vehicle with an OCS system, follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for proper calibration and repair. The OEM repair guides contain a wide range of steps that must be taken to ensure that the OCS system is functioning properly. You should also note that there are a number of different OCS systems on different models, so it is important to know what type you have before making any repairs. For example, some OCS systems need to be calibrated if the passenger seats are removed or replaced, while others need to be calibrated if the seat track is modified in any way.
