Heartmate II
The Heartmate II is a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) that is implanted alongside the patient’s native heart with the purpose of pumping for the heart’s left ventricle.

Heartmate II The Heartmate II is surgically implanted just below the diaphragm in the abdomen. It acts as a conduit by attaching to the left ventricle and then to the aorta, leaving natural circulation in place.
![Page 6: Heartmate II · • LVAD is correctly assembled and all joints are tight • LVAD is primed with sterile injectable normal saline • Pump remains on back table until time to implant](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022053019/5f25e37cad9ba74c133d1646/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Heartmate II • Assists in providing energy to propel blood
throughout the body as a healthy left ventricle would do
• FDA approved to use as a bridge to transplant or as destination therapy when the patient is not a transplant candidate

clockwise until clicking
sound, then continue until
tight and clicking stops
![Page 12: Heartmate II · • LVAD is correctly assembled and all joints are tight • LVAD is primed with sterile injectable normal saline • Pump remains on back table until time to implant](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022053019/5f25e37cad9ba74c133d1646/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Assembly
Attach the thread protector with
the leur-lock cap to the pump
outflow elbow
Open leur-lock cap to let air
escape
Hold upright and fill with
sterile normal saline until it
flows out of the cap-then
close cap
![Page 13: Heartmate II · • LVAD is correctly assembled and all joints are tight • LVAD is primed with sterile injectable normal saline • Pump remains on back table until time to implant](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022053019/5f25e37cad9ba74c133d1646/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Assembly and Set-up Gently tap the side of the
pump and observe for air
bubbles rising to the surface
Add saline and tap until pump
appears full and no air
bubbles can be observed
