CentriMag

Acute Circulatory Support System with Full MagLev Flow Technology

About

About the CentriMag Acute Cirulatory Support System

Excellent hemocompatibility and unparalleled versatility for optimized patient care.

The CentriMag™ Acute Circulatory Support System is a blood pumping system used to support patients with acute heart and lung failure.

The CentriMag™ Device is the ONLY acute circulatory support system approved for 30-day VAD use^* and cleared for ECMO^** allowing escalation and de-escalation of therapy.^1-3,*

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

Confidence in a snap with the new motor locking mechanism

The CentriMag motor has been updated with streamlined lock design for a simple locking process. Two spring-loaded levers automatically lock the CentriMag™ or PediMag™ blood pumps into the motor for effortless insertion. Multiple points of contact provide a strong hold to keep the pump in place, providing confidence in insertion stability.

Addressing the broadest spectrum of clinical challenges

The CentriMag blood pump functions as:

Part of an ECMO^†† circuit for periods > 6 hours
Temporary circulatory support for periods up to 30 days* to support the left, right, or both ventricles of the heart in patients who fail to wean from cardiopulmonary bypass

Optimal Patient Care for a Variety of Applications

Designed for Optimal Hemocompatibility^4,5

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.^6,7

CentriMag Acute Mechanical Circulatory Support System Hemocompatibility

Reduced blood trauma,⁶ 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

Trusted for a wide range of patient types and size

Produces flows of up to 10 LPM with fewer rotations per minute

Adult and Pediatric Blood Pump Flow LPM Options

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