CHANGES TO BACKUP
SYSTEM CONTROLLER — SINGLE SOURCE
Replace the running System Controller with the backup controller and a
single available
power source
(exchange while on MPU or batteries only).
1. SET UP
This procedure will require assistance from
a caregiver.
1. Place the backup System Controller
within reach.
CAUTION:
Do NOT attempt to change your System
Controller without having a trained, competent
caregiver at your side to assist. Follow all alarm
instructions, including calling the hospital.
Always contact your LVAD center before
changing System Controllers.
2. Ensure the patient is sitting or lying down,
as he or she may get dizzy if the pump
stops briefly.

controllers (see the image below).
