Device typeIntracardiac circulatory assist axial-pump catheter control unit: A mains electricity (AC-powered) device designed to operate and monitor an intracardiac circulatory assist axial-pump catheter (e.g., a catheter with integrated micro motor and impeller) to provide circulatory assistance to the heart by pumping blood during heart failure. It typically consists of operator controls, a monitoring interface, a low-voltage connection to drive the impeller, a fluid purging pump, and provides backup power when line power is not available during transport. It is typically used emergently [e.g., post acute myocardial infarction (AMI)] or electively when haemodynamic support is necessary.
