DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE SENSOR
The Impella 5.0 Catheter has an electronic differential pressure sensor located at the proximal end of the 21 Fr
®
cannula. The purpose of the pressure sensor is to generate the placement signal, which is used by operators and the
controller to monitor the position of the Impella
The pressure sensor is a flexible membrane integrated into the cannula. One side of the sensor is exposed to the
blood pressure on the outside of the cannula and the other side is exposed to the pressure of the blood inside of
the cannula. The sensor generates an electrical signal proportional to the difference between the pressure outside
the cannula and the pressure inside. This signal is displayed on the Automated Impella
signal.
