Indications for Use

The Medtronic centrifugal blood pumping system is intended to pump blood through the extracorporeal bypass circuit for extracorporeal support for periods appropriate to cardiopulmonary bypass procedures (up to 6 hours).

Contraindications

The Medtronic centrifugal blood pumping system is contraindicated as a cardiotomy suction device.

Warnings and Precautions

Read all Warnings, Precautions, and Instructions for Use carefully prior to use. Failure to read and follow all instructions, or failure to observe all stated warnings, could cause serious injury or death to the patient.

Warnings

The
Bio-Console Extracorporeal Blood Pumping Console Model 560 is designed to be operated only with the Bio-Pump centrifugal pump. There are no safety or performance data that establish compatibility of any other manufacturer’s device or components with the Medtronic system.
Using the Bio-Pump centrifugal pump beyond the labeled recommendations may result in failure of the centrifugal pump, reduced pumping capacity, leaks, excessive blood trauma, or degradation or corrosion of blood contact materials, which may pass through the blood to the patient.
Massive air entry into the pump will cause the pump to deprime and blood flow to stop. As a result, gaseous emboli may be introduced into the patient; gaseous emboli could result in death or severe injury. To prevent this, stop the pump, clamp the arterial line, and remove air prior to resuming circulation. Reprime the centrifugal pump as described in the instructions included with the Bio-Pump centrifugal pump.
To prevent backflow of the patient’s blood when the centrifugal pump outlet tubing is open, establish and maintain a minimum centrifugal pump speed that overcomes line and patient resistance. Not maintaining a positive flow could allow retrograde flow and exsanguinate the patient if the line is not clamped. If for any reason the centrifugal pump has stopped, the arterial line must be clamped, either manually or by use of the AutoClamp system.
When working with the sterile fluid pathways of the centrifugal blood pumping system, use sterile technique.
The Bio-Pump centrifugal pump and the disposable insert of the Bio-Probe blood flow monitoring system are packaged as sterile products and are designed for single use only. Do not reuse or resterilize as this could result in severe patient injury or death.
A handcrank must always be available for emergency use. Instructions for using the handcrank are in Chapter 8.
Do not place level sensors below the minimum operating level recommended by the reservoir manufacturer.

Bio-Console 560 Overview
Never place fingers inside remote tube clamp closing mechanism. Serious injury may occur if fingers are caught in the remote tube clamp when it closes.
Establish
pump RPM before unclamping the arterial line. Failure to do so could cause retrograde
flow. Proper positioning of the bubble detector is the responsibility of the user. Bubble detectors must
be positioned to allow sufficient time for the user to respond to detected bubbles. Never occlude the inlet to the centrifugal pump because negative pressures will be created within
that portion of the circuit. To avoid an electrical shock, the Bio-Console must be disconnected from the AC power source
during servicing or cleaning. Do not adjust, modify, repair, or touch the internal circuitry. These actions could cause operator
injury or cause faulty operation of the Bio-Console or AutoClamp interface module.

Precautions

Inspect each package and device visually and functionally prior to use. If the equipment appears damaged, consult with a qualified Medtronic service technician.
A standby Bio-Console should be available during cardiopulmonary bypass procedures. If the Bio-Console must be replaced during a procedure, follow the instructions in Chapter 8.
This system must be operated and monitored continuously by a trained and qualified medical professional.
The flow display may be inaccurate and/or the User Interface displays may blink when an electrocautery unit is in operation.
Before using the Bio-Console, determine that the system is in proper operating condition, as described in this manual. Ensure that the system and its components are used according to accepted medical practice and the manufacturer’s instructions. To ensure that the system will operate properly, use only Medtronic accessories.
Only operate a Bio-Pump centrifugal pump that is primed according to the procedures described in the Bio-Pump manual. Operating the centrifugal pump without being primed may damage the internal seal on the centrifugal pump.
Connect the power cord only to an AC power source that is properly inspected and certified for biomedical equipment.
Do not expose the Bio-Pump centrifugal pump to chemical agents as they may affect the integrity of this device. Anesthesia solutions such as FORANE® are known to degrade polycarbonate plastics. Avoid contact of these solutions with the Bio-Pump centrifugal pump.
1
To avoid damage to the equipment, all electrical connections to the Base Unit should be attached before the Bio-Console is turned ON.
For United States and Canada users: connect only to a UL/c-UL listed ITE computer or equivalent. For customers outside the United States and Canada: connect only to an ITE computer evaluated
to IEC 60950-1 or equivalent. Installing a centrifugal pump with the motor revolving may harm the centrifugal pump. The performance of the safety systems must be verified before each use.

Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the Bio-Con­sole 560 is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the Bio-Console 560 should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as reorienting or relocating the Bio-Console 560.

Installing the Bio-Pump Centrifugal Pump

The Bio-Console Extracorporeal Blood Pumping Console Model 560 is designed to be operated only with the Bio-Pump Centrifugal Pump. There are no safety or performance data that establish compatibility of any other manufacturer's device or components with the Medtronic system.
Warning: Use of the Bio-Pump centrifugal pump beyond the labeled recommendations may result in failure of the centrifugal pump, reduced pumping capacity, leaks, excessive blood trauma, or degradation or corrosion of blood contact materials, which may pass through the blood to the patient.
1. Caution: Ensure the Bio-Pump centrifugal pump is primed according to the procedures described in the Bio-Pump manual. Operating the centrifugal pump without being primed may damage the internal seal on the centrifugal pump.
2. Make sure the RPM knob is turned to zero to the clicked-OFF position (Figure 28). The black button on the knob serves as the pointer to the RPM settings. As the knob is turned to zero, slight pressure can be felt and a click will be heard.
Caution: Installing a centrifugal pump with the motor revolving may harm the centrifugal pump.
3. Remove the red protective cover and slide the centrifugal pump into the pump motor receptacle with the outlet positioned away from the top center ( locking pin engages.

Caution: Ensure that a standby Bio-Console and handcrank are available during cardiopulmonary bypass procedures. If the Bio-Console must be replaced during a procedure, follow the instructions in Chapter 8.
Caution: Determine that the system is in proper operating condition, as described in this manual. Ensure that the system and its components are used according to accepted medical practice and the manufacturer's instructions. To ensure that the system will operate properly, use only Medtronic accessories.

Adjusting Flow Rate

The RPM speed is used to maintain positive flow and pressure to the centrifugal pump outlet side of the perfusion circuit. The blood flow rate is dependent upon pump RPM, circuit resistance and patient vascular resistance. Resistance factors include, but are not limited to:
length of tubing and size of the cannula
blood temperature and viscosity
patient's systemic vascular resistance
Refer to Appendix B for detailed information on the relationship between RPM, resistance and blood flow.
To adjust the flow rate:
1. Rotate the RPM knob on the User Interface.
2. Continue rotating until the desired flow rate is achieved.
Note: If the knob is not at zero when the Bio-Console is turned on, the centrifugal pump will not spin. To reset the motor controller, turn the knob to 0 RPM for a minimum of one (1) second.

It incorporates a pair of color-coded sensors that are attached to the outside of the reservoir using double-sided adhesive tape. One sensor is designated as the upper level sensor (yellow); the other sensor is designated as the lower level sensor (red). Each level sensor is configured independently. If the fluid in the reservoir level drops below the position of a level sensor, it will trigger a system alert or alarm and optionally may be configured to slow or stop the pump.
Note: The level sensing system is designed to be used with a Medtronic hardshell reservoir. The level sensing system consists of the following components:

Figure 55. Level Sensor Configuration Window
1. Level Sensor Enable/Disable
— These buttons select whether the level sensor is enabled or not. If set to ON, the level sensing system will respond as configured (see below) if a low fluid level is detected. If set to OFF, the level sensing system will not monitor the reservoir.
Note: The level sensor enable/disable buttons will always default to OFF after the Bio­Console is switched to standby.
2. Level Sensor Configuration — These buttons select how the level sensing system will respond if a low fluid level is detected. The configuration setting is indicated with text under the level sensor button. The configuration choices are as follows:
a. Alert Only (upper level sensor)/Alarm Only (lower level sensor) — If a low fluid level is
detected, a system alert or alarm will be generated and the button will change appearance and color (yellow for alerts, red for alarms) (Figure 56).
Operator and Reference Manual English 63
Chapter 6
Figure 56. Upper Level Sensor Alert
b. Coast —
If a low fluid level is detected, the pump will temporarily decelerate to the coast set speed until the sensor detects fluid. In addition, an alert or alarm will be generated. For more information on Coast, refer to page 71.
Note: Coast will not engage if the pump speed is already less than the coast set speed.
c. Stop — If a low fluid level is detected, the pump will stop and, in addition, generate an
alarm. To restart the pump, the user must turn the RPM knob counterclockwise, past the detent, to 0 RPM for a minimum of one second.
Warning: If for any reason the centrifugal pump has stopped, the arterial line must be clamped either manually or by use of the AutoClamp system.
Note: When the RPM knob is turned counterclockwise to 0 after a stop event (manual control), the safety system that is overridden is the sensor that is not in its normal operating condition when the RPM knob is at 0. The applicable safety system icon color will indicate its operating condition (Table 1).
For example, if the reservoir does not fill up to an “OK” status level for the upper level sensor, then the upper level sensor alert function will be ignored; and its icon will show gray (disabled) after the RPM knob is turned clockwise from 0.
However, a lower level sensor event or a bubble detector event will trigger an alarm if those sensors are in their normal operating condition.
Note: Optionally, the clamp may be configured to close when the pump stops. Refer to page 75.
