5.1.5 2 Generation CentriMag Primary Console The Console uses single-phase AC power when used with the CentriMag Pump. The Pump is capable of a flow rate of up to 10.0 LPM or maximum pressure head of 600 mmHg. Flows up to 1.5 LPM or a maximum pressure head of 540 mmHg may be generated with the PediMag Pump and circuit.

(RPM), the extracorporeal circuit resistance, and drainage and return blood pressures. The relationship between pressure and flow rate as a function of RPM can be seen in Figure 14 for the CentriMag Pump as an isolated component. Figure 14: CentriMag Pump Differential Pressure/Flow (H-Q) Curve Refer to the CentriMag and PediMag pump IFUs for additional information.

Figure 32: Incorrect Biventricular Assist Power Connection WARNING To avoid the risk of electric shock, the CentriMag equipment must only be connected to a mains supply with a protective earth. Insert the LEMO connector on the Motor cable into the Motor connection on the rear of the Console.
WARNING Use of Flow Probes from sources other than Abbott Medical is not recommended. Flow probes that are not obtained from Abbott Medical may not function, may cause the Console to malfunction, or may lead to missing or inaccurate flow information.
4) Data Logger View Mode Setting: Always “Normal” 5) Application Software Version 7.26 Pump Set-up Refer to the CentriMag and PediMag Pump Instructions for Use for proper setup and operation of the Pumps. WARNING Always fully unscrew the Pump retaining screw built into the Motor before inserting and locking the Pump in the Motor receptacle.
If a power failure causes loss of AC power or patient transport is necessary, a new fully charged internal battery will operate the Console for approximately 120 minutes at 5.5 LPM and 3,500 RPM when used with the CentriMag CentriMag...
Consoles need to have fully charged internal batteries before mains power is disconnected from the System. In the event the duration of the patient transit is longer than expected, operate the CentriMag Motor and Pump with the backup Console. 8.5.2 Changing from the Main to the backup Console When the charge level of the main Console’s internal battery reaches a pre-set minimum...

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. 2) Visually inspect the entire length of the CentriMag Motor cable, including both bend reliefs (see Figures 57 and 58), for any damage such as separations of the bend reliefs, deformations, kinks, or cuts.
Motor housing. Clamp the return tubing and switch to the backup System according to the procedure described in Section 10.1. Resume support. Record the alarm message and contact your local Abbott Medical representative. WARNING Always fully unscrew the Pump retaining screw built into the Motor before inserting and locking the Pump in the Motor receptacle.
Under rare conditions, this might cause Console and/or Monitor display flickers while the ESU is activated. If the System is used concurrently with an Electrosurgery unit, Abbott Medical recommends that the user should read and follow the electrocautery manufacturer’s instructions for prevention of interference with other electronic devices.
