INCOR LVAD ARTIFICAL HEART IMPLANTATION PROGRAM

IINCOR® LVAD is the only third-generation implantable axial pump with magnetic impeller, certified in accordance with EU quality and safety standards.

The unique impeller suspension system works without mechanical contact and wear of components, providing long-term support of blood circulation in patients with terminal heart failure. Therefore, the INCOR® LVAD system is well suited for both temporary and final therapy (Destination therapy). The pump is made of titanium. The surface of the pump, in contact with blood, has a bioactive coating of Carmeda ® (heparin). The supply cannula connects the top of the left ventricle and the axial pump. The axial pump, in turn, is connected to the outgoing cannula through the corner section. The withdrawing cannula is anastomased with the ascending department (middle access) or the descending department (lateral access) of the aorta.

At lateral access it is possible not to use the angular section of the outgoing cannula. The pump and the control unit are connected by a control line passing through the cut of the skin. The power supply of the system is provided by two batteries (main and backup), which must be permanently connected to the control unit. The INCOR® system can also operate from AC power through the mains supply.

The control unit, main and backup batteries are stored in a lightweight, ergonomic and compact carrying case, which is fixed on the belt or over the shoulder, and also has a handle. Through the transparent window on top of the bag, you can easily perform visual control of the control unit and the appearance of alarm signals. Convenient, zip-fastened battery compartments allow you to replace the batteries with a minimal effort. The system includes a battery charger, a power supply unit and a laptop for monitoring and controlling the operation parameters of the INCOR® LVAD system.
