CLEANING
• Clean the Automated Impella
®
Controller keypad and display with either 70% isopropyl
alcohol or soap and water. (NOTE: Be aware that soft buttons may be activated when you
spray or wipe the display.)
• Clean the Automated Impella
®
Controller housing with mild detergent.
• Do NOT clean with or expose any part of the clear sidearm of the Impella
®
Catheter (eg,
infusion filter, pressure reservoir) to alcohol. Alcohol has been shown to cause cracks and
leaks in these components. Carefully read labels on common skin preps and lotions to
avoid using any alcohol-containing products in the area of the infusion filter or pressure
reservoir.
• Do NOT allow any fluids to enter the connector sockets.
• Clean the connector cable with 70% isopropyl alcohol.
STORING THE AUTOMATED IMPELLA
®
CONTROLLER
The Li-Ion batteries must be charged for 5 hours prior to system operation in order
to meet the runtime requirement of 1 hour. Failure to do so will yield a shorter
runtime. After being unplugged, the Automated Impella ® Controller will operate for
at least 60 minutes after the batteries have been fully charged.
• Place the Automated Impella ® Controller on a horizontal surface to prevent falling.
• Connect the AC power cord to an AC outlet.
• The battery may be destroyed if the Automated Impella
®
Controller is stored with a
depleted battery.
