CATHETERS
Retrograde flow will occur across the aortic valve if the flow rate of the Impella
®
Catheter is less than 0.5 L/min.
1.
Place the catheter plug at the same level as the patient’s heart.
2.
Reconfirm that the placement guidewire has been removed. Also reconfirm that the
controller displays an aortic waveform and the radiopaque marker band is located at
the aortic valve. (See step 7 if the controller displays a ventricular waveform.)
3.
Press the
FLOW CONTROL
soft button to open the menu. (see Figure 5.36).

BOOST
The “BOOST” FLOW
CONTROL setting maximizes
the Impella

Catheter flow for
5 minutes. At the end of 5
minutes, the controller returns
to the AUTO setting (or P-8 if
previously running in P-level
mode).
