 2   Indications, Contraindications, and Potential Adverse Events Indications  2.2       RECOVER BP IABP/VAD System – Operator’s Manual  Indications  IABP  • Cardiogenic shock  • Unstable angina  • Acute myocardial infarction (AMI)  • Complications following MI  • Adjunct to **** (PTCA)  • Adjunct to cardiac catheterization  • Bridge to transplant  • Hemodynamic support pre-, intra-, and post-operatively  • Bridge to other therapies  • Intractable arrhythmias   VAD  ABIOMED® RECOVER BP Circulatory Support System (CSS) therapy is intended to treat patients suffering from reversible ventricular dysfunction. Typical patients have undergone successful cardiac surgery and subsequently developed low cardiac output, or have suffered from acute cardiac disorders leading to hemodynamic instability.  The intent of the RECOVER BP System therapy is to provide circulatory support, restore normal hemodynamics, reduce ventricular work, and allow the heart time to recover adequate mechanical function.
Indications, Contraindications, and Potential Adverse Events   2   Indications  RECOVER BP IABP/VAD System – Operator’s Manual       2.3  Appropriate patient groups include those that are likely to recover cardiac function after the myocardium is permitted to rest on ventricular support. Examples include, but are not limited to:  • Patients who fail to wean from cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) following heart surgery.  • Failed transplant patients who require ventricular assist following heart transplantation.  • Patients who require right ventricular assist device (RVAD) support while on implantable left ventricular assist device (LVAD) support.  • Patients suffering from acute cardiac disorders such as viral myocarditis.  A patient is a candidate for mechanical assistance with the RECOVER BP System if she/he meets all of the following criteria:  • Patient has a body surface area > 1.3 m² and is ≤ 75 years of age.  • Patient is in relatively good health other than the cardiovascular problem for which surgery was undertaken.  • All appropriate measures have been attempted to correct low arterial pH, arterial blood gas abnormalities, electrolytes, hypovolemia, hypervolemia, inadequate cardiac rate, dysrhythmias, and residual hypothermia.  • Cardiac resuscitation employing pharmacologic agents has been attempted. While the use of an Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump (IABP) is recommended prior to RECOVER BP System assistance, its use may not always be appropriate (e.g., fibrillating heart, peripheral atherosclerosis).   • Patient is unable to be weaned from CPB or is unable to maintain acceptable hemodynamics in the immediate postoperative period (< 6 hours after the first attempt to wean from CPB), or patient is unable to maintain acceptable hemodynamics following a significant cardiac event despite the measures cited above.

 7   VAD Support Using the AB5000™ Ventricle  7.4       RECOVER BP IABP/VAD System – Operator’s Manual   The RECOVER BP System provides VAD support capability using either the AB5000™ Ventricle (Ventricle) or the BVS® Blood Pump (BVS Pump).  The following sections describe the procedures for using each blood pump type.   WARNING:  A patient monitor must be provided and used to continuously monitor patient physiological pressure. Do NOT rely solely on the System alarms to notify you of life-threatening conditions.   Using the AB5000™ Ventricle    WARNING:  Do NOT power the RECOVER BP System using Multiple Portable Socket Outlets (MPSO) or an extension cord.   Console Preparation  1  Plug the Console power cord into an AC outlet.  2  Turn the Console ON using the AC power switch on the left side. The Console goes through a Self-Test and is ready to use in approximately 25 seconds. Verify that the audible alarm indicator is operating properly by listening for the alarm tone during the Self-Test.   NOTE:  Upon power-up, the Console displays the same type of screen (IABP or VAD) used at shutdown. If necessary, change to VAD mode by pressing the MENU key and selecting System Menu > Console Mode > VAD.   AB5000 Ventricle Preparation  Refer to the AB5000™ Ventricle Instructions for Use (0055-9001) and AB5000™ Ventricle Training Guide (0055-9002).
VAD Support   7   Using the AB5000™ Ventricle  RECOVER BP VAD/IABP System – Operator’s Manual       7.5  Recommended Cannulation Method  Refer to the Cannula Instructions for Use (0506-9110).   Pump Type Verification  Be sure that “Ventricle” is displayed as the pump type.   Initiating Support   1  Initiate support as described in the AB5000 Ventricle Instructions for Use and the AB5000 Ventricle Training Guide.  2  Begin pumping by pressing the ON key for the appropriate side (Left or Right). If both sides are being supported, press the Left ON key first.   Optimizing AB5000 Ventricle Filling  When the Console is operating in normal (full flow) mode, flow rate should be greater than 2 L/min and typically ranges from 3 to 6 L/min.  To optimize blood flow, be sure that the patient is appropriately hydrated, with filling pressures within normal ranges. If the patient is hypovolemic, administer fluids according to hospital protocol.  The Ventricle is filled via vacuum assist. However, avoid raising the Ventricle above the heart to view it, because this could result in lower flow.
 7   VAD Support Using the AB5000™ Ventricle  7.6       RECOVER BP IABP/VAD System – Operator’s Manual  Adjusting Vacuum Level  Overview   The Console applies a default level of 100 mmHg (1.9 psi) of vacuum during diastole unless the vacuum level has been adjusted. You can adjust the vacuum level from 35 to 100 mmHg (0.7 to 1.9 psi) (in 5 mmHg (0.1 psi) steps) whether pumping is ON or OFF.  Reducing the vacuum level to 35 mmHg (0.7 psi) reduces the flow rate by as much as 2 L/min from the level achieved at 100 mmHg (1.9 psi). Reducing the vacuum level also changes the vacuum alarm limits.  Flow rate reduction for weaning can be performed using the weaning controls alone, by reducing the vacuum level alone, or by using both means of flow reduction simultaneously.  If an increase in flow rate is desired, increasing the vacuum level increases the flow rate, provided that there are no conditions limiting the flow through the device such as:  • Obstructions in the inflow cannula, outflow cannula, or driveline.  • Inadequate blood volume.  • Mispositioning of the AB5000 Ventricle.  • Disconnection or leak in the driveline.  Increasing the vacuum level to increase the flow rate can be used in response to activation of the low flow alarm during normal operation, or during weaning operation when the target flow level cannot be maintained at a reduced level of vacuum.   NOTE:  If an inadvertent key stroke is made, allow the Console display to stabilize for about 5 seconds before proceeding. The display may take several seconds to update after an adjustment is made.
VAD Support   7   Using the AB5000™ Ventricle  RECOVER BP IABP/VAD System – Operator’s Manual       7.7  Adjusting the Vacuum Level with Pumping Off   Upon power-up (after completing its Self-Test), the Console displays the following screen:  ****[Figure]  The... indicate that the vacuum level is set to the default level of 100 mmHg (1.9 psi). Press the pump ON button if no reduction in vacuum level is needed.  ****[vacuum level adjustment]  In the following example, the vacuum level has been set to 50 mmHg (1.0 psi):  ****[Figure]  Adjusting the vacuum level on one side does not affect the vacuum level on the other side.  The user-set vacuum level is applied to the Ventricle after its electrical/pneumatic connector is attached to the Console and the pump ON button is pressed.   If pumping is inadvertently started before plugging in the Ventricle electrical/pneumatic connector, an alarm is generated instructing you to "Turn Pumping OFF and then ON" to recognize that a Ventricle is attached. User-set vacuum levels are saved during these transitions and applied to operation of the Ventricle.   Adjusting the Vacuum Level with Pumping ON   If no vacuum level is set by the user during startup, the default vacuum level of 100 mmHg (1.9 psi) is automatically selected (after the Ventricle electrical/pneumatic connector is attached to the Console and the pump ON button is pressed).
 7   VAD Support Using the AB5000™ Ventricle  7.8       RECOVER BP IABP/VAD System – Operator’s Manual  In the following example, a Ventricle is pumping on the left side.

You must press the button twice to stop the pump (see Figure ****X). This is a safety feature to prevent accidental operation.  ****[Figure]   Weaning   When the patient is to be weaned, the Ventricle output may be set at any desired flow from 2.0 L/min to full flow (in 0.1 L/min. increments). ****[Selecting desired flow rate]  ****[Figure]   During the weaning operation, the Console’s displayed flow may vary for several beats from the selected flow setting. This may occur when patient conditions change and/or when the Console periodically adjusts Ventricle ejection duration to optimize flow.  However, actual Ventricle flow will correspond to the selected flow setting.   Adjusting the Low Flow Alarm Level  The low flow alarm level can be adjusted when pumping is ON.  It can be set to any level (in 0.1 L/min steps) between the current flow rate and 1.8 L/min during normal operation or 1.5 L/min in the weaning mode.

VAD Support   7   Using the BVS® Blood Pump  RECOVER BP IABP/VAD System – Operator’s Manual       7.11  Optimizing BVS Pump Filling  When the Console is operating in normal (full-flow) mode, flow rate should be greater than 2 L/min and typically ranges from 3 to 6 L/min.  To optimize blood flow:  1  Be sure that the patient is appropriately hydrated, with filling pressures within normal ranges. If the patient is hypovolemic, administer fluids according to hospital protocol.  2  Observe the filling and emptying of the upper bladder. The bladder should just barely fill the plastic chamber during Pump systole, and just empty during Pump diastole. If the bladder is too full, move the Pump higher to reduce inflow pressure. If the bladder is too empty and the patient is sufficiently hydrated, lower the Pump to increase inflow pressure.  3  Position the top of the upper bladder 0 to 14 in. (35 cm) below the patient's atria. Flow rate may decrease if the Pump is positioned above or below this range.  4  After adjusting Pump height, observe bladder filling for 2 minutes (to allow the system to stabilize) before making another adjustment.    Mounting the BVS Pump to the Accessory Mounts  Three types of accessory mounts are available to mount the BVS Pump for transport.  • BVS® IV Pole Mount – attaches to a standard IV pole.  • BVS® Bed Mount – slips under the patient’s mattress and accepts a BVS IV Pole Mount.  • BVS® Blood Pump Sling – allows the BVS Pump to be mounted horizontally for transport.
