Parameters
This occurs when the pump does not have sufficient preload.
What is PI event?

What is the 2 fully charged batteries, clips and backup controller?
Target blood pressure is.
What is <90mmHg?
Power cable disconnected advisory alarm can be silenced for this number of minutes.

This occurs when there is a PI event?
What is drop speed by 200-400rpm?
This is the recommended daily routine for HeartMate 3 LVAD patients to ensure that their equipment is functioning properly.
What is checking the System Controller display (self test), checking the power sources, inspecting the driveline exit site, and ensuring they have their backup equipment nearby?
It is most important to avoid this to prevent driveline infections.

Low preload (dehydration, bleeding)
Tamponade
Afterload decreases
RV dysfunction
Speed too high

There is a power outage while the patient is on the MPU. The____ will provide power until the patient goes onto batteries.
What is 11 volt lithium-ion emergency backup battery (EBB)?
These 3 features on ECHO are assessed in order to optimize speed.
What is aortic valve opening, left ventricular size, position of the septum? (p. 4-23, IFU)
This is the technology that HeartMate 3 LVAD uses to eliminate mechanical bearings and minimize blood trauma.
