A distal side port was attached to the arterial cannula so oxygenated blood could be supplied to the right lower extremity itself. The purge fluid flows from the purge cassette through the catheter to the microaxial blood pump to prevent blood from entering the motor. The Impella device works by running a small tube up through blood vessels … Overview. Impella 2.5 is a miniaturised, catheter-based, intravascular blood pump that supports a patient's circulatory system. • Mounts to controller cart (not shown) for transport within hospital The white connector cable connects the Impella catheter to the Automated Impella Controller. Impella 5.0 is inserted through the axillary artery or femoral cut down. Because the Impella Ventricular Support System acts as a blood pump that effectively bypasses the left ventricle, it supports blood pressure and provides increased blood … The controller provides an interface for monitoring and controlling the function of all Impella catheters. 0.018” x 260 cm Placement Guidewire (0052-3005), Part number: 0042-0010-US Impella® Catheter (0048-3092) • Axillary Insertion Kit • 0.035” x 150 cm guidewire, Part number: 0052-0011 •The socket at the gray end of the cable connects to the Impella catheter plug. The Impella 2.5®, Impella CP®, Impella CP® with SmartAssist®, Impella 5.0®, Impella 5.5® with SmartAssist® and Impella LD® Catheters, in conjunction with the Automated Impella Controller™ (collectively, "Impella® System Therapy"), are temporary ventricular support devices intended for short term use (≤ 4 days for the Impella 2.5, Impella CP, and the Impella CP with SmartAssist, and ≤ 14 days for the Impella 5.0, Impella 5.5 with SmartAssist and Impella LD) and indicated for the treatment of ongoing cardiogenic shock that occurs immediately (< 48 hours) following acute myocardial infarction or open heart surgery or in the setting of cardiomyopathy, including peripartum cardiomyopathy, or myocarditis as a result of isolated left ventricular failure that is not responsive to optimal medical management and conventional treatment measures (including volume loading and use of pressors and inotropes, with or without IABP). Top, Device and components: electric engine proximally placed moves blood from endoventricular suction chamber to ascending aorta (outlet area). Acute renal dysfunction, Aortic valve injury, Bleeding, Cardiogenic shock, Cerebral vascular accident/Stroke, Death, Hemolysis, Limb ischemia, Myocardial infarction, Renal failure, Thrombocytopenia and Vascular injury Protected stenting with Impella provides an option for patients who are at high-risk for surgical complications and those with severe heart disease. 4–6 A dextrose-based purge solution flows countercurrent to the blood flow through the device to create a pressure barrier that prevents blood … • 23Fr x 6 cm peel-away introducer with hemostatic valve • 14Fr x 13 cm and a 14Fr x 25 cm peel-away introducers with hemostatic valve • White Connector Cable • Mounts to controller cart (not shown) for transport within hospital Actively unloads up to 5.0 L/min from the left ventricle. The Impella 2.5, Impella CP, Impella CP with SmartAssist, Impella 5.0, Impella 5.5 with SmartAssist and Impella LD are contraindicated for use with patients experiencing any of the following conditions: Mural thrombus in the left ventricle; Presence of a mechanical aortic valve or heart constrictive device; Aortic valve stenosis/calcification (equivalent to an orifice area of 0.6cm2 or less); Moderate to severe aortic insufficiency (echocardiographic assessment graded as ≥ +2); Severe peripheral arterial disease precluding placement of the Impella System; Significant right heart failure*; Combined cardiorespiratory failure*; Presence of an Atrial or Ventricular Septal Defect (including post-infarct VSD)*; Left ventricular rupture*; Cardiac tamponade* Poorly oxygenated blood passing through the pulmonary circulation to the LV was then pushed forward by the Impella's 1 L/min flow … Part number: 0043-0002 Part number: 005062 The technology. These heart pumps … The Impella (Fig.2) then pulls blood from the left ventricle through an inlet area near the tip and expels blood from the catheter into the ascending aorta at a maximum rate of 2.5 L…
