Impella
®
System for Use During Cardiogenic Shock
MAGNETIC NAVIGATION SYSTEMS (MNS)
When initiating Impella
®
Catheter support in the presence of a magnetic navigation system
(MNS), follow the steps below:
1.
Insert the Impella
®
Catheter following the steps outlined in section 5 of this manual.
2.
Place the MNS magnets in the “Reduced” or “Stowed” position.
3.
Start the Impella
®
Catheter in the manner described in section 5 of this manual.
Increase P-level to P-3.
4.
Place the MNS magnets in the “Navigate” position and proceed with magnetic
navigation.
Keep operating the Impella
®
Catheter at a P-level of at least P-3 when the MNS magnets are in
the “Navigate” position. If the P-level falls below P-3, the Impella
®
Catheter may stop running.
To resume operation, follow the steps in Table 7.4.
During magnetic navigation of the mapping catheter, the motor current of the Impella
®
Catheter
may temporarily increase to the point that the catheter stops running. Table 7.4 explains how to
resume operation.
When the MNS magnets are in the “Navigate” position, the displayed Impella
®
Catheter flow
may be artificially elevated. To accurately assess the flow rate, note the displayed flow when the
magnets are in the “Stowed” position.
Table 7.4 Troubleshooting When Operating the Impella
®
Catheter in the Presence of a
MNS System
Observation
Actions
Unable to start Impella
®
or
Impella
®
stops running
1. Place the MNS magnets in the “Reduced” position and
attempt to start the Impella
®
Catheter.
2. If the Impella
®
Catheter does NOT start with the magnets
in the “Reduced” position, place the magnets in the
“Stowed” position and start the Impella
®
Catheter.
3. Increase the Impella
®
Catheter P-level to P-3 or higher.
4. Place the MNS magnets in the “Navigate” position and
proceed with magnetic navigation.
MNS magnets: “Navigate”
Displayed flow seems too high
or
MNS magnets: “Stowed”
Displayed flow drops
The Impella
®
Catheter displayed flow will be artificially
elevated when the MNS magnets are in the “Navigate”
position.
The displayed flow will be accurate when the MNS magnets
are in the “Stowed” position.
