Impella 2.5

The Automated Impella Controller is the primary user control interface for the Impella platform featuring a 10 Inch high resolution display. It controls the Impella catheter performance, monitors for alarms, and displays real time hemodynamic and catheter position information.

The new integrated purge system automatically sets the purge flow to maintain the purge pressure and eliminates the need to actively monitor purge pressures. Step-by-step on screen procedures allow for quick and simple step-up and purge cassette procedures; featuring automatic priming, detection of connections, and automatic bolus at completion.

Impella 2.5 Patient

Frank Jandecka is a retired plumber-turned photographic artist and a devoted family man and father of six. At age 56, he was diagnosed with end-stage coronary artery disease, ten years after he had suffered a major heart attack on the job. Doctors performed quadruple bypass surgery to clear blockages in his arteries. Then eight years later, he suffered two separate episodes of sudden cardiac arrest. He was given a grim prognosis and put on hospice care. But as a last resort, cardiologists at Centennial Medical Center in Tennessee decided to insert Impella 2.5 to perform angioplasty and allow his heart muscle to rest. After the successful procedure, Frank is now able to enjoy time with his family and a second chance at life.

“But they could not do another heart bypass procedure.” “They discussed the possibility of a heart transplant, but my lung and kidney functions were not adequate, so that wasn’t an option either.” “I don’t know why I’ve survived this, but I am truly blessed. My wife and I still have a lot of years ahead of us and we want to be together, now I feel like we have a shot at that.”
