7.2.3 Select the pump size
NOTICE
It is not possible to select a larger blood pump and/or a higher rate for
the right pump than for the left one. The list of pump sizes available for
the right pump is limited accordingly.
The sizes written in red ink in the pop-up menu Select pump size can
be chosen. However, they are not the recommended option for each
individual case (see Fig. 7-4, page 98).
In individual cases, consideration is to be given as to whether a
combination that is not recommended is to be selected. The final
decision on the combination of blood pumps and cannulae is to be
reached by the implanting surgeon, in consultation with Berlin Heart,
Inc., Clinical Affairs.
