MAGNETIC NAVIGATION SYSTEMS (MNS)
Example of MNS

When initiating Impella LD Catheter support in the presence of a magnetic
navigation system (MNS), follow the steps below:
1.
Insert the Impella LD Catheter following the steps outlined in this
manual.
2.
Place the MNS magnets in the "Reduced" or "Stowed" position.
3. Start the Impella LD Catheter in the manner described in this manual.
Increase P-level to at least P-5.
4.
Place the MNS magnets in the "Navigate" position and proceed with
magnetic navigation.
Keep operating the Impella LD Catheter at a P-level of at least P-5 when the
MNS magnets are in the "Navigate" position. If the P-level falls below P-5,
the Impella LD Catheter may stop running. To resume operation, follow the
steps in the table below.
During magnetic navigation of the mapping catheter, the motor current
of the Impella LD Catheter may temporarily increase to the point that the
catheter stops running.
When the MNS magnets are in the "Navigate" position, the displayed
Impella LD Catheter flow may be artificially elevated. To accurately assess the
flow rate, note the displayed flow when the magnets are in the "Stowed"
position.

ALARMS OVERVIEW
The Automated Impella Controller monitors various functions to determine
whether specific operational parameters are within expected limits. When
a parameter goes outside of its specified limits, the controller sounds an
Catheter to ensure that the
®
alarm tone and displays an alarm message that can be viewed on the display
screen on the front of the controller. The alarm tone indicates the severity
of the alarm. The alarm message on the display screen is color-coded for
severity and provides details on the cause of the alarm and how to resolve

the alarm. After muting an alarm, if another alarm occurs it will only be heard
and displayed if it's a higher priority alarm that the one that was muted.
For a full list of all Impella alarms, refer to the Automated Impella Controller
Instructions for Use document.
ALARM LEVELS
Alarms are divided into three levels of severity:
MUTE ALARM FUNCTION
Pressing the MUTE ALARM button on the upper right of the Automated
Impella Controller display screen will silence the audible alarm indicator for
2 minutes (for red or yellow alarms) or 5 minutes (for white advisory alarms).
When an alarm is silenced, the words "MUTE ALARM" next to the button
are replaced by the mute alarm indicator, a crossed-out bell icon. The audible
indicator will shut off if an alarm condition is resolved before you press
MUTE ALARM. The visual message, however, will continue to be displayed,
with the alarm header on a gray background, for 20 minutes or until you
press MUTE ALARM. This allows you to identify the alarm that occurred.
