Description
The CentriMag system is designed to provide a versatile and effective means for implementing mechanical circulatory support in a
variety of clinical scenarios. The system is intended to treat acute heart failure by decreasing ventricular workload, stabilizing
hemodynamic conditions, and facilitating potential myocardial recovery.
Patients in acute cardiac failure are at risk of developing
multisystem organ failure which can threaten long-term survival. For these patients, the CentriMag system can provide short-term
circulatory support pending recovery of ventricular function or provide a means to hemodynamically stabilize the patient until an
alternative, longer-term therapy can be implemented.
The core components of the system include a CentriMag Blood Pump, 2
nd
Generation CentriMag Primary Console, motor, Mag Monitor,
flow probe, tubing, and cannulas.
