1.2.2
Blood pump (single needle), optional
Essentially, the blood pump (single needle) is identical with the arterial blood pump. The
difference lies in the single needle control. During SN operation, the pressure outlet of the
compliance vessel is connected to the pressure connector of the SN pump. The pressure
transducer is protected by a hydrophobic filter both in the external and the internal tubing system.
The SN stroke volume can be set within a range from 10 ml to 50 ml in increments of 5 ml.
The lower changeover point is fixed to 75 mmHg.
The upper changeover point depends on the stroke volume:
