Q1 Quarterly Update: Impella Heparin-Free Purge System & 5.5 Gen 2 Catheter
Welcome to Abiomed's Quarterly Update, where education is at the forefront. In this episode, host Shane Turner is joined by Jena Billig, primary trainer for the West region, to dive into the intricacies of the Impella pump's heparin-free purge system.
Jena provides a comprehensive understanding while addressing misconceptions. She explains the importance of using a dextrose and water-based purge solution with heparin or sodium bicarb additive to prevent blood proteins from accumulating in the pump motor housing. Plus, Shane and Jena explore new features of the Impella Five, gen two catheter, designed to enhance safety for transport providers, including the intuitive catalog system and three-point fixation method.
Whether you're a seasoned provider or new to the field, this episode offers valuable insights to improve patient care and transport practices. Tune in now to stay informed and elevate your knowledge of the Impella device and purge system!
