The HeartAssist 5™ takes the guesswork out of patient care management. Its exclusive direct flow measurement system provides precise blood flow data 24/7, for all patients, in all conditions. Other VADs rely on estimates by the clinician or software, which can leave you flying blind when you need this data the most.
Use flow probe data
for:
- Optimizing pump speed for
each patient’s physiology
- Monitoring real time patient blood
flow
- Comparing real time data to patient blood flow history
- Diagnosing dehydration and
other conditions
- Weaning patients with
flow down to 1 L/min

Remote Home Monitoring
With remote home monitoring, HeartAssist
5™ patients can enjoy
a higher quality of life and peace of mind living
at home and traveling. Patients know if concerns
arise that their doctor can be just minutes away
from viewing the performance of their HeartAssist
5. Real-time patient blood
flow can be viewed to reassure patients, often
eliminating nuisance trips to the hospital. In
cases of concern, remote home monitoring provides
a head start, allowing for proactive response
and better results for the patient.
- Patient Privacy: A unique
name and password protects patient privacy and
allows the patient’s healthcare provider
to access this data from their computer or wireless
device.
