Part 1 General - Maquet ROTAFLOW User Manual

1 GENERAL
The MAQUET ROTAFLOW system is a centrifugal pump, which is designed for
use in an extracorporeal perfusion circuit to pump blood during cardiopulmonary
bypass interventions and for permanent extracorporeal pulmonary or
cardiovascular support.
The ROTAFLOW System can be used for stand-alone operation, on a MAQUET
heart-lung machine console, as part of the ELS System or part of the PLS System.
This User's Manual describes the ROTAFLOW Console with ICU Kit. Please also
take note of the documents supplied for the other components of the system.
User's Manual applies to ROTAFLOW Console with ICU Kit
This User's Manual always refers to the ROTAFLOW Console with ICU Kit, even
if the suffix "with ICU Kit" is not explicitly mentioned. The ROTAFLOW Console
with ICU Kit is identified at the rear with a label stating "Upgrade ICU"
( 2.1.5 "ICU Kit", page 20).
See below for features of the ROTAFLOW System
The flow can be kept constant independently of the pressure.
Air bubbles in the circuit can be detected to prevent any ingress in the patient.
It is possible to detect and regulate the fluid level (blood) in a reservoir if it is too
low.
Under normal conditions and with fully charged, new batteries, the system can
be operated for at least 1.5 hours with the battery back-up.
Other features with operation on a MAQUET heart-lung machine
The system provides for a more physiological, optimized, pulsatile pumping
action, which is internally triggered and controlled by the patient's own ECG.
The pressure level can be monitored and regulated.
Most of the functions required during surgery can be managed using the
system control panel of the heart-lung machine.
Useful signals and data are displayed.
A complete perfusion report can be recorded for subsequent analysis and
printout using JOCAP XL online.
Use in ELS System
The ROTAFLOW Console with ICU Kit can be used as a component of the ELS
System. The ELS System is used for extended respiratory and/or circulatory
