CentriMag

Acute Circulatory Support System with Full MagLev Flow Technology

How It Works

How It Works

Full MagLev™ Flow Technology: Easy on the blood

Designed for optimal hemocompatibility,^1,2 Full MagLev Flow Technology can result in low hemolysis¹ and low device-related thrombosis (2.5%).^1,2

Watch this video to see how Full MagLev Flow Technology works.

Reduced blood trauma,³ minimized turbulence, maintained stability

Full MagLev Flow Technology provides a contact-free environment that features:

A free-floating magnetically levitated rotor to prevent surface-to-surface contact that could cause blood trauma
Wide blood-flow pathways and absence of seals, bearings and valves to minimize blood turbulence and stasis
Automatic rotor positioning that adjusts 50,000 times per second to maintain stable and consistent blood flow
