IMPORTANT TRANSPORT CONSIDERATIONS
1.
Planning is critical to success. Abiomed representatives can help with planning for
transport. They can be contacted 24 hours a day at 1-800-422-8666.
2.
The Automated Impella
®
Controller should be fully charged prior to transport. Keep the
Automated Impella
®
Controller connected to AC power (or an AC inverter) whenever
possible.
3.
Do not stress the connector cable from the controller to the Impella
®
Catheter. Such
tension could move the catheter out of correct position and compromise patient
circulatory support.
4.
Carefully monitor purge pressures during changes in altitude.
5.
The Automated Impella
®
Controller should be positioned to allow easy access to the
display screen and soft buttons to view alarms and make any necessary changes.
6.
Maintain ACTs between 160 and 180 or at the level recommended by the physician
responsible for the patient.
FAA ADVISORY
The Automated Impella
®
Controller has been subjected to, and passed, the EMC/EMI tests as
specified in IEC 60601-1-2 (General requirements for basic safety and essential performance—
Collateral standard: Electromagnetic compatibility—Requirements and tests). The Automated
Impella
®
Controller does not, however, meet the requirements for conducted emissions of RTCA/
DO-160G section 21.4 and has not been tested for radiated emissions per RTCA/DO-160G
section 21.5. Abiomed recommends that air transport carriers follow the guidance FAA Advisory
Circular AC No: 91-21.1B. Section 8-a of FAA Advisory Circular AC No: 91-21.1B states:
“Equipment tested and found to exceed the section 21, Category M, emission levels are
required to be evaluated in the operator’s M-PED selected model aircraft for electromagnetic
interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI). All navigation, communication,
engine, and flight control systems will be operating in the selected aircraft during the
evaluation.”
