Cardiac Output
Cardiac Output, calculated from an initial entered Cardiac Output from a diagnostic device, is displayed in the panel.
Cardiac Power Output
Cardiac Power Output, calculated from the entered Cardiac Output & MAP from the AO Placement Signal, is displayed in
this panel. Note: These elements will only be displayed for Impella CP with SmartAssist and Impella 5.5 with SmartAssist
catheters.

Purge system area
Information about the purge system is displayed to the right of the flow area at the bottom of the display screen.
Purge system marquee – scrolls from left to right when purge system is operating
• Slow scrolling represents normal purge flow rate
• Fast scrolling represents bolus flow rate and priming flow rate
Y connector icon (for Impella 2.5
• Appears above the purge system marquee when the Impella System is configured using the Y connector in the set-up
Purge flow
• Current purge flow displayed in mL/hr below the purge system marquee if the purge flow is known
• Not displayed when the purge system is stabilizing, when there is no purge cassette, or when the procedure has not yet
Purge pressure
• Current purge pressure (pressure of the purge fluid delivered through the catheter to the motor) displayed in mmHg below
Note: Purge System
The purge system must stabilize after case start, a purge procedure, or resolution of a purge alarm. During this time, it may
Stabilization
take up to 3 minutes for purge system information to display on the screen.
10 Flow area
Information about Impella Catheter flow is displayed in the lower left corner of the display screen.
Max / Min
• Max / Min displays the range for the flow rate
Current flow rate
• Mean catheter flow displayed in liters per minute (L/min) – the numbers appear in white if the catheter position is correct;
• If the system is unable to calculate flow, a yellow triangular caution icon is displayed with the message "Flow Calculation
Catheter operation icon
• The circular catheter operation icon rotates when the Impella Catheter is running
11 Central display area
On the home screen, the central display area displays a heart pictogram and Impella Catheter position indicator message.
Heart pictogram appears in the center of the home screen display.
• Provides a visual representation of the current Impella Catheter position
• Overlaid with a translucent yellow "?" when the controller cannot determine catheter position, position is wrong, or
• Displays "Impella Position OK" in green when catheter position is correct
• Displays "Impella Position Unknown" in yellow when catheter position is unknown
• Displays "Impella Position in Ventricle" in yellow when catheter is in the ventricle
• Displays "Impella Position in Aorta" in yellow when catheter is in the aorta
• Displays "Impella Position Wrong" in yellow when catheter position is incorrect
• Displays "Placement Monitoring Suspended" in yellow when there is a fault in the sensor
• Displays "Placement Monitoring Disabled" in yellow when you turn off placement monitoring through the menu
• Displays "Placement Signal Low" in yellow when the Ao diastolic placement signal is low, minimum Ao placement signal
• Displays "Placement Monitoring Not Available" in yellow when a Impella CP with SmartAssist or Impella 5.5 with
