System Transporter
In some instances, a patient on System support may need to be transported to another
medical center. If a patient needs to be transported to another medical center, the
following information should be considered.
8.6.1 Transport Vehicle Qualification
1) Planning adequate space is important. Review the physical hardware
specifications provided in Appendix II – 2
nd
Generation CentriMag Primary Console
Technical Specification.
8.6.2 Console Considerations
1) Ensure that the Console’s internal battery is fully charged prior to transport.
2) A backup System should be fully assembled (power cord, backup Motor, Flow
Probe, etc.), tested, and transported with the patient for emergency backup
availability.
3) Ensure that the backup Console’s internal battery is fully charged prior to transport.
4) Ensure that the backup Console is kept dry and in a place within the emergency
vehicle that minimizes the chance that liquid will fall on it.
5) Load all backup equipment (monitors, ventilators, etc.) and supplies into the
transport vehicle before bringing patient from the hospital Intensive Care Unit (ICU)
or Operating Room.
6) Position the Console in a location where the display is visible.
