Abiomed 004334 Impella RP Heart Pump Set 170mm x 22F (x)

The device as listed, Abiomed 004334 Impella RP Heart Pump Set (170mm x 22F), provides a sophisticated approach to providing temporary mechanical circulatory support to patients with right ventricular failure. Complications from rheumatic heart disease, myocardial infarction, or heart surgery can lead to right ventricle dysfunction, which poses great risk to a patient’s hemodynamics.

Key Features and Benefits

Proprietary Method of Administration: The Impella RP is a percutaneous catheter implantable system that propels blood from the inferior vena cava into the pulmonary artery, providing right ventricular support by offloading and improving circulation. Offloading the right ventricle allows the heart to recover.

Pump Length 170mm, Catheter 22F: Sized at 170mm in length and outer 22F diameter, the device can be inserted through the femoral vein. The design strikes a balance between hemodynamic support and procedural simplicity.

Small Incision Surgery: Unlike other surgical techniques, Implantation of the Impella RP is carried out percutaneously, through a small incision made in the groin, reducing the risk of complications, shortening the procedure, and accelerating recovery time.

Indications for Use: The Impella RP is intended for adult patients having acute right heart failure or decompensation following implantation of left ventricular assist device, myocardial infarction, heart transplant or open-heart surgery. It is most helpful in situations where medical therapy alone does not adequately restore normal hemodynamic values.

Enhanced Patient Outcomes: The Impella RP serves the purpose of blood flow of up to 4 liters per minute which is sufficient to provide support for the patients to stabilize and perfuse vital organs. In optimal conditions, this temporally relief can help patients recover, undergo other interventions or sometimes, go for transplantation.

Ease of Monitoring and Control: The pump itself is integrated onto a computer console which is placed externally. This console allows remote monitoring and control of pump operations ensuring that changes can be made in response to alteration of patient's status.

Clinical Significance

Heart and circulation are vital parts of human body. Management of heart related diseases require close attention for aggravation. The Impella RP Heart Pump Set is one of the main equipment for taking care of right ventricular failure. The device was developed to help for the severely affected people in a simple manner. Within moments of using it, there is easy management of circulation which gives more time for medical attention.

To summarize, the clinically validated Abiomed 004334 Impella RP Heart Pump Set is effective in enhancing outcomes in patients with right ventricular dysfunction. The device combines sophisticated engineering and an ease of usability—considering the clinical requirement in treating acute right heart failure. Thus, healthcare providers managing cases of acute heart failure can utilize the device as a reliable resource.
