2 WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS
WARNINGS...2.1 CAUTIONS... 2.3
WARNINGS 2
Institution of circulatory support using Impella® has not been studied in the following conditions: • Presence of irreversible end-organ failure • Presence of severe anoxic brain injury
Warnings Warnings alert you to situations that can cause death or serious injury. The red symbol appears before warning messages.
Fluoroscopy is required to guide placement of the Impella® Catheter and, for the Impella CP®, during rewire through the guidewire access port. The small placement guidewire must be reliably observed at all times. Be sure that the stopcock on the peel-away introducer or repositioning sheath is always kept in the closed position. Significant bleed back can result if the stopcock is open. Avoid manual compression of the inlet and outlet areas of the cannula assembly. The sterile components of the Impella Ventricular Support Systems can be used only if the sterilization indicators show that the contents have been sterilized, the packaging is not damaged, and the expiration date has not elapsed. Do NOT resterilize or reuse the Impella® Catheter. It is a disposable device and is intended for single use only. Reuse, reprocessing, or resterilization may compromise the structural integrity of the catheter and/or lead to catheter failure which, in turn, may result in patient injury, illness, or death. Retrograde flow will occur across the aortic valve if the flow rate of the Impella® Catheter is less than 0.5 L/min. To prevent malfunction of the locking mechanism of the peel-away introducer, do NOT hold the hemostatic valve while inserting into the artery. To prevent failure of the peel-away introducer, remove the peel-away introducer prior to transport when activated clotting time (ACT) is less than 150 seconds. Do NOT use saline in the purge system. Do NOT use an Impella Ventricular Support Systems if any part of the system is damaged. To prevent the risk of explosion, do NOT operate the Impella Ventricular Support Systems near flammable anesthetics. If at any time during the course of support with the Impella® Catheter, the Automated Impella® Controller alarms “Purge Pressure Low” or “Purge System Open,” follow the instructions presented in section 5 of this manual. MR Unsafe - Do NOT subject a patient who has been implanted with an Impella System to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The strong magnetic energy produced by an MRI machine may cause the Impella System components to stop working, and result in injuries to the patient. An MRI may also damage the Impella System electronics. Impella® System for Use During Cardiogenic Shock
2.1
WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS
Use of the Impella Ventricular Support Systems by trained and experienced practitioners has been associated with improved outcomes. Consequently, the first use of Impella® should be preceded by the completion of a contemporary Abiomed Impella® training program and include on-site proctoring during the first use by Abiomed clinical support personnel certified in the use of Impella®.
Cardiopulmonary support (CPR) should be initiated immediately per hospital protocol if indicated for any patient supported by the Impella® Catheter. When initiating CPR, reduce the Impella® Catheter flow rate. When cardiac function has been restored, return flow rate to the previous level and assess placement signals on the controller. During defibrillation, do NOT touch the Impella® Catheter, cables, or Automated Impella® Controller. Power the Automated Impella® Controller using its internal battery if the integrity of the protective earth conductor is questionable. Lithium-ion battery replacement by inadequately trained personnel could result in excessive temperatures, fire, or explosion. Only technicians authorized by Abiomed should remove or change the battery. To avoid risk of electric shock, this equipment must only be connected to a supply mains with protective earth. No modification of this equipment is allowed. Medical electrical equipment needs special precautions regarding EMC and needs to be installed and put into service according to the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) information provided in section 9 of this manual. During transport, the Automated Impella® Controller may be exposed to stronger electromagnetic disturbance than during in-hospital use. Strong electromagnetic disturbance may cause the Automated Impella® Controller to display soft button menu selections that were not selected by the user. Operators should be aware that, under these conditions, the operating parameters are not affected. No user intervention is required. Monitor Impella® Catheter flow and patient hemodynamics to confirm normal operation. The condition will resolve itself once the Automated Impella® Controller is no longer exposed to the disturbance. Portable and mobile RF communications equipment can affect medical electrical equipment. The equipment or system should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other equipment. If adjacent or stacked use is necessary, the equipment or system should be observed to verify normal operation in the configuration in which it will be used. Use of cables, other than those sold by Abiomed, may result in increased emissions or decreased immunity of the Automated Impella® Controller. The Automated Impella® Controller uses RFID (radio frequency identification) to identify and communicate with the purge cassette. Other equipment may interfere with the Automated Impella® Controller even if that other equipment complies with CISPR emission requirements. Infusion through the sideport of the introducer can be done only after all air is removed from the introducer. If performed, the infusion should be done for flushing purposes only and NOT for delivering therapy or monitoring blood pressure. Do NOT use the guidewire access port on the Impella CP® as an arterial line. The stylet should remain in place until guidewire access is required through the Impella® Catheter.

CAUTIONS 2
Physicians should exercise special care when inserting the Impella® Catheter during active Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR). In addition, active CPR maneuvers may change the position of the Impella device. Check that the pump is positioned correctly in the left ventricle after CPR with echocardiography guidance. Patients with aortic stenosis or other abnormal aortic valve performance may be compromised by the use of the Impella® Catheter. Patients with aortic valve disease should be observed for aortic insufficiency.
Cautions Cautions indicate situations in which equipment may malfunction, be damaged, or cease to operate. The yellow symbol appears before caution messages.
Partial circulatory support with Impella® has been associated with more extensive use of rotational atherectomy. Extensive use of rotational atherectomy has been associated with a periprocedural increase in cardiac biomarkers indicative of myocardial injury. Rotational atherectomy, with or without the use of hemodynamic support, should be used in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions for use. Physicians should exercise special care when inserting the Impella® Catheter in patients with known or suspected unrepaired abdominal aortic aneurysm or significant descending thoracic aortic aneurysm or dissection of the ascending, transverse, or descending aorta. Use only original accessories and replacement parts supplied by Abiomed. Do NOT use damaged or contaminated connector cables. To prevent device failure, do NOT start the Impella® Catheter until the guidewire has been removed. Do NOT remove the Impella® Catheter over the length of the guidewire. When replacing the purge cassette, the replacement process must be completed within 2 minutes. The Impella® Catheter may be damaged if replacement takes longer than 2 minutes. To prevent malfunction of the Automated Impella® Controller, avoid long-term exposure to direct sunlight and excessive heat (40°C). To prevent overheating and improper operation, do NOT block the cooling vents of the Automated Impella® Controller while it is operating. Do NOT kink or clamp the Impella® Catheter with anything other than a soft jaw vascular clamp. Do NOT kink or clamp the peel-away introducer. During case start, make sure the yellow luer connection between the purge tubing and Y connector is tightened and not leaking. The Li-Ion batteries must be charged for 5 hours prior to system operation in order to meet the runtime requirement of 1 hour. Failure to do so will yield a shorter runtime. After being unplugged, the Automated Impella® Controller will operate for at least 60 minutes after the batteries have been fully charged.

WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS
Handle with care. The Impella® Catheter can be damaged during removal from packaging, preparation, insertion, and removal. Do NOT bend, pull, or place excess pressure on the catheter or mechanical components at any time.
Minimize exposure of Impella Ventricular Support Systems components to sources of electromagnetic interference (EMI). Exposure to sources of EMI, such as cell phones and two-way radios, may cause operational interference. To clear interference, either increase the distance between system components and the EMI source or turn off the EMI source. During use with the Remote Link, a Medical Device Data System (MDDS), if the Automated Impella® Controller is exposed to strong electromagnetic disturbances, the Remote Link may either restart or shut down. Operators should be aware that, under these conditions, the Automated Impella® Controller operating parameters are not affected. If the Remote Link stops working because of electromagnetic disturbances, a hard restart (by first disconnecting, and then reconnecting its AC power) will correct the problem. Operation of Impella Ventricular Support Systems components may interfere with the operation of other devices. If interference occurs, increase the distance between the device and system components. Have a backup Automated Impella® Controller, purge cassette, connector cable, and Impella® Catheter available in the unlikely event of a device failure. Do NOT use the bed mount as a handle. Do NOT alter the Impella® Introducer kit in any way. Aspiration and saline flushing of the Impella® Introducer kit sheath, dilator, and valve should be performed to help minimize the potential for air embolism and clot formation. Indwelling introducer sheaths should be internally supported by a catheter or dilator. Dilators and catheters should be removed slowly from the sheath. Rapid removal may damage the valve, resulting in blood flow through the valve. Never advance the guidewire or sheath when resistance is met. Determine the cause of resistance using fluoroscopy and take remedial action. When injecting or aspirating through the sheath, use the sideport only. Operation of the system without heparin in the purge solution has not been tested. In the event that a patient is intolerant to heparin, due to heparin-induced thrombocytopenia or bleeding, physicians should use their clinical judgment to assess the risks versus benefits of operating the Impella Ventricular Support Systems without heparin. If it is in the best interest of the patient to operate the system without heparin, the dextrose solution is still required, and physicians should consider systemic delivery of an alternative anticoagulant. Do NOT add any alternative anticoagulant (such as a direct thrombin inhibitor) to the purge fluid. The Impella® Catheter has not been tested with any alternative anticoagulants in the purge solution.
