Acute Circulatory Support System with Full MagLev Flow Technology

About

About the CentriMag Acute Circulatory Support System

Excellent hemocompatibility and unparalleled versatility for optimized patient care.

The CentriMag™ System is the only acute circulatory support system approved for 30-day LVAD, RVAD and BiVAD support. It offers freedom of choice and fits seamlessly into custom circuit designs, and can be used with a variety of cannulation options.

The CentriMag System for 30-day LVAD, RVAD and BiVAD support

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

Optimal Patient Care for a Variety of Applications

Designed for Optimal Hemocompatibility^1,2

Driven by Full MagLev™ Flow Technology, the CentriMag and PediMag Pumps include 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

CentriMag Acute Mechanical Circulatory Support System Hemocompatibility

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

Full MagLev Flow Technology Reduces Blood Trauma
