Info

Ventricular suction Act promptly: • pump speed to 1800rpm • flows should rise ! 2 L/min* • improve RV output using standard therapy *If output still
Defibrillation Event: • cardiac arrest • defibrillation • elective DCR Corrective actions: • activate CPR mode • switch to battery power only • perform resuscitation • exit CPR mode and adjust pump speed when pt stable **Note: Laptop need not be disconnected prior to defibrillation/CPR** The contents of this document are confidential and are not to be reproduced or made available to third parties without prior consent from Ventracor. Caution: Investigational device - this device is limited by law to investigational use only in the US, Australia and NZ (under Federal Law in the US) Changing controller Adverse events: • ‘backup control active’ alarm* • ‘no pump’ alarm • ‘pump stopped’ alarm • no display on controller and pump status uncertain after auscultation* Procedure: • swap connections in order: grey, red, orange, black (G - R - O - B) • auscultate pump • monitor pump via laptop until patient stable *Change controller immediately if any of these alarms occur and patient is compromised The contents of this document are confidential and are not to be reproduced or made available to third parties without prior consent from Ventracor.
