INSERTING THE IMPELLA CATHETER
NOTE – Proper surgical procedures and techniques are the
responsibility of the medical professional. The described
procedure is furnished for information purposes only. Each
physician must evaluate the appropriateness of the procedure
based on his or her medical training and experience, the type of
procedure, and the type of systems used.
If the Impella Catheter is used in the OR as part of open heart surgery,
manipulation may be performed only at the access site. Direct manipulation
of the catheter assembly through the aorta or ventricle may result in serious
damage to the Impella Catheter and serious injury to the patient.
When using a pigtail diagnostic catheter with side holes, ensure that the
guidewire exits the end of the catheter and not the side hole. To do so,
magnify the area one to two times as the guidewire begins to exit the pigtail.
During placement of the Impella Catheter, take care to avoid damage to the
inlet area while holding the catheter and loading the placement guidewire.
1.
Confirm purge fluid is exiting the Impella Catheter.
2. Obtain access to the femoral artery.
3.
Insert a 5–8 Fr dilator over the 0.035 guidewire (provided) to pre-
dilate the vessel.
4.
Remove the 5–8 Fr dilator over the 0.035 guidewire. Predilate the
artery with the appropriate dilator prior to inserting the sheath.
While inserting the introducer, hold the shaft of the introducer to
slide it into the artery.

5. Administer heparin. When the ACT is greater than or equal to 250
seconds, remove the dilator.
6.
Prior to catheter insertion, flush the introducer
