Shown with Pump Head

The complete pump system consists of the pump drive and a centrifugal pump head AP40 (Medtronic). The action of the pump head ensures very gentle pumping of blood. The head forms a completely enclosed unit without any moving parts to the outside. Pump head and drive are linked by a magnetic coupling. The driving motor turns a magnet which transmits the rotation to another magnet located inside the pump head.

NOTE: The pump heads are a consumable item. The pump head mounting is such that the heads can be replaced without the use of tools or specialized training. Please refer to the attached user manual for more information.
