CentriMag Pump: Designed for Optimal Hemocompatibility^1,2

Driven by Full MagLev™ Flow Technology, the CentriMag™ Pump includes a free-floating magnetically levitated rotor for a contact-free environment. This innovative technology results in excellent hemodynamics, which can lead to minimized blood stagnation, friction and shear stress.^3,4

Addressing the broadest spectrum of clinical challenges

The CentriMag blood pump functions as:

• Part of an ECMO circuit for periods > 6 hours
• Extracorporeal bypass circuit for periods up to 30 days*, to support the left, right, or both ventricles of the heart

The CentriMag System includes both pediatric and adult pump options, producing flows up to 1.5 LPM for pediatric, and 10 LPM for adult.
 

Designed to meet individualized requirements

The CentriMag System offers freedom of choice. It fits seamlessly into custom circuit designs, and can be used with a variety of cannulation options.

*PMA approval for 30-day use of CentriMag System components include: CentriMag™ Pump, CentriMag™ Console, CentriMag™ Motor, Mag Monitor, Flow Probe, and CentriMag™ Drainage Cannula and CentriMag™ Return Cannula. Optional accessories include: CentriMag™ System Cart, CentriMag™ System Transporter and Pressure Transducer. PMA approval for 30-day use of CentriMag™ System excludes: PediMag™ Blood Pump and any other pediatric components or accessories.
**ECMO clearance for >6-hour use is indicated for the CentriMag™ Blood Pump to be used with: CentriMag™ Console, CentriMag™ Motor, Mag Monitor, and Flow Probe. Optional accessories include: CentriMag™ System Cart, CentriMag™ System Transporter and Pressure Transducer. ECMO clearance for the CentriMag™ Blood Pump is for adult use only.
