Description
The white connector cable connects the
Impella LD ® Catheter to the Automated
Impella Controller. Clips on the cable are
used to secure the purge tubing to the
cable.
• The socket at the gray end of the cable
connects to the red Impella Catheter
®
plug.
• The white plug at the opposite end
of the cable is inserted into the blue
catheter plug on the front of the
Automated Impella Controller.
The incision template is used to assist
in correct placement of the Impella LD
Catheter during implantation by indicating
the correct location for the incision in the
ascending aorta.
Hospital Provided:
Dextrose solution (typically 5% glucose in
water with 50 IU/mL of heparin) is used
as the purge fluid through the Impella LD
Catheter.
The Automated Impella Controller cart
holds the Automated Impella Controller.
The cart has wheels for easy transport of
the controller and a storage basket. (For
more information, including assembly
instructions, refer to the Automated
Impella Controller cart instructions for
use.)

CASE START
If you miss a step in the process of setting up the Impella Catheter, or if
you exceed the amount of time allowed to complete a step, the Automated
Impella Controller will display additional instruction screens for continuing the
setup process for some steps. For the steps discussed below, all shaded steps
require sterile technique
CASE START
1. Press the START NEW CASE soft button from the startup screen or
plug in a new Impella catheter. "Case Start" can also be selected by
pressing the MENU soft key.
2. The controller displays the screen below.
INSERT PURGE CASSETTE
1.
Open the purge cassette package onto the sterile field.
2. If included, remove and discard the Y connector. Secure the yellow
luer connector on the purge tubing to the sterile field.
3. Pass the purge cassette and spike off the sterile field.
4.
Spike the glucose bag/bottle.
5.
Press the NEXT soft button to continue.
6.
Open the purge cassette door by pressing the release on the left side
of the controller. Insert the purge cassette into the Automated Impella
Controller.
7. Insert the purge cassette into the molded compartment on the front of
the controller. Follow the diagram on the inside of the purge cassette
door for proper placement.
8.
Slide the purge disc into the slot to the right of the purge cassette
until it snaps into place. The controller will automatically begin
priming the purge cassette.
Note: The instructions for inserting the purge disc appear if the disc is
not snapped into place within 3 seconds of inserting the purge disc.
9. Extend the purge tubing and close the purge cassette door. There is
sufficient room around the edges of the purge cassette door so that it
will not pinch the purge tubing as it exits.
10. The controller automatically begins priming the purge cassette after it
is inserted. The progress bar marks the progress of the purge cassette
priming.
