Setting Application Mode The 2 Generation CentriMag Primary Console can be used for a variety of conditions. The display for each Console can be set to identify the Console as the L or R Console identifying use an LVAD (L), or as an RVAD (R). The specific mode must be selected during startup, and can be altered through the user menu.
System Data Logger The 2 Generation CentriMag Primary Console has the ability to record significant events. To access the DATA LOGGER setting, depress the MENU keypad and scroll down to the EXTENDED MENU option, then use the MENU key to scroll through the menu options until the DATA LOGGER option appears.
The Mag Monitor is designed to display information derived from one or two 2 Generation CentriMag Primary Consoles. It is possible, therefore, to view data when the System is operated in the univentricular configuration (LVAS or RVAS) or when the System is used in the BiVAS configuration (LVAS + RVAS).
5) Data Logger View Mode Setting: Always “Normal” 6) Application Software Version 7.25 Blood Pump Set-up Refer to the CentriMag and PediMag Blood Pump Instructions for Use for proper setup and operation of the Blood Pump. WARNING Always fully unscrew the Pump retaining screw built into the Motor before inserting and locking the Blood Pump in the Motor receptacle.
In the event of an Alarm condition (see Table 15, for alarm condition listing), the 2 Generation CentriMag Primary Console stop the Blood Pump. The Primary Console allows the user to acknowledge the Alarm, which for all but two high priority alarms silences the audio alarm advisory, but will not remove the visual message, and will usually not allow pumping to continue until the alarm condition no longer exists.
Console for approximately 120 minutes at 5.5 LPM and 3,500 RPM when used with the CentriMag Blood Pump and approximately 180 minutes at 1.0 LPM and 3,000 RPM when used with the PediMag Blood Pump. The switch from AC power to battery power is automatic and is accomplished without interruption of patient support as long as the battery has a charge.

Section 21.5, Radiated RF Emissions Test, Category M 8.6 Shut Down by Operator If the 2 Generation CentriMag System is no longer used, then the System shut down can be executed as follows: 8.1.3 1) Stop the Pump (see Section “Manually Stopping the Blood Pump”).
Immediately after removing a patient from CentriMag/PediMag support, the 2 Generation CentriMag Primary Console should be thoroughly cleaned using the following procedure: Disconnect AC power before cleaning the exterior of the Primary Console. Clean the exterior of the Primary Console with bactericidal solution, by spraying the solution on a cloth and wiping off the unit.
WARNING The 2 Generation CentriMag Primary Console should not be covered with plastic or insulating material during use or AC powered storage as it may overheat and malfunction. 9.3 Recommended Preventive Maintenance The services listed in Table 16 are to be performed by qualified personnel trained by Thoratec.
To ensure proper operation and patient safety, only Thoratec-approved spare parts must be used to maintain this device. The user may NOT replace the internal battery without proper training by Thoratec or its distributor. Please request assistance by calling Thoratec Customer Service if the internal battery requires replacement.
Motor Body Figure 56: CentriMag Motor 1) Visually inspect the CentriMag Motor connector for bent or broken pins. Check for burn marks or melted plastic. Figure 57: Motor Connector Pin View Note: If there are any issues while connecting the CentriMag Motor to the CentriMag Console, inspect the Motor port on the rear of the Console for damage, particularly for any broken pins that may be lodged inside.
Page 107
2) Visually inspect the entire length of the CentriMag Motor cable, including both bend reliefs (see Figures 58 and 59), for any damage such as separations of the bend reliefs, deformations, kinks, or cuts. These types of damage indicate wear and tear or previous rough handling of the cable, which has the potential to result in internal wire damage.
10.1 Switching to Backup Hardware A backup 2 Generation CentriMag Console and Motor should be transported with the patient and immediately available for use at all times. Should the main Console or Motor cease to function, it will be necessary to replace the hardware by disconnecting the Blood Pump from the main Motor and Console and switching to a backup Motor and backup Console.
Pump. Ensure that a backup 2 Generation CentriMag System is available, powered and in the immediate vicinity. If cardioversion is attempted without discontinuing support consideration should be given to reducing the RPM of the Pump (or Pumps for BVAD support) to reduce the likelihood of Right-Left imbalance and Pump inlet obstruction.
