Intelligent Metrics
To Optimize Pump and Patient Management
Optical Sensor and Advanced Metrics
- Pump re-positioning without image guidance*
- Better, faster resolution of suction alarms
- Earlier identification of right heart failure
- Assist in hemodynamic assessment and successful weaning guidance
FDA Approval for SmartAssist, PMA Supplement P140003/S026
* When “Position in Ventricle” alarm is triggered

Metrics During Intervention
1
2
3
1
At the initiation of the balloon inflation, the aortic placement signal begins to dampen and eventually diminishes, demonstrating unloading with Impella support.
2
The longer the balloon is inflated,
notice the uncoupling of AO and LV waveforms due to the decreased contractility of the heart.
3
When balloon is deflated, the return
of pulsatility is demonstrated.
Post-intervention, trend screen
may be used to assess weaning.
Standard Screen Prior to Inflations
Weaning Guidance – Successful Wean
Observe trends in pump metrics during weaning.
As the Impella flow decreases, confirm preservation of total cardiac output.
3 Steps to Guide Weaning:
- Look for stable MAP and LVEDP
- Assess native heart recovery
- Preserve Total Cardiac Output
Improved Troubleshooting for Suction Management
How To Recognize
Diastolic Suction
- Negative diastolic pressure;
recovers by end of diastole - Normal Systolic Pressure
- Low Diastolic Flows
How To Resolve
- Check filling and volume status
- Check Impella® position
How To Recognize
Continuous Suction
- Negative diastolic pressure;
does not recover - Low Systolic Pressure
- Low Systolic & Diastolic Flows
How To Resolve
- Check Impella position
- Check filling and volume status
Check RHF if you are experiencing persistent suction alarms with OK volume & position
