  • Medtronic HeartWare Ventricular Assist HVAD System Battery
  • Charger Model 1600US - Product UsageThe HeartWare Ventricular Assist System (HVAD) is indicated in the United States (US) and European Union (EU) for use as a bridge to cardiac transplantation (BTT) as well as an alternative to transplantation as destination therapy (DT) for patients who are at risk of death from refractory end-stage left ventricular heart failure. The HVAD Pump Controller is a microprocessor unit that controls and manages HeartWare System operation. It sends power and operating signals to the blood pump and collects information from the pump. The controller requires
  • two power sources for safe operationeither two batteries, or one battery and an AC adapter or DC adapter. While active, patients will typically use two batteries. While relaxing or sleeping, patients should use power from an electrical outlet (AC adapter) because it provides power for an unlimited period of time. The HeartWare Battery Charger is part of the HeartWare Ventricular Assist System (HVAD). Patients receive 4 total batteries with their system along with a battery charger and are instructed to have spare, fully charged batteries always available. The battery charger can charge up to 4 batteries at a time using 4 charging bays. Each battery slides into a bay and is connected to the battery charger
