URGENT PRODUCT UPDATE
Medtronic has stopped the distribution and sale of the HVAD™ System as of June 3, 2021, and has notified physicians to cease new implants of the Medtronic HVAD™ system and transition to an alternative commercial LVAD for all future implants. Prophylactic explant of the HVAD™ system is not recommended at this time.
How Logfiles Are Created
HVAD Waveforms
The HVAD waveform is a visualization of blood flow through the HVAD, which is generated by three factors:
- Pressure at the inflow of the pump
- Pressure at the outflow of the pump
- Set speed
Controller Logfiles
Every 15 minutes, the controller records the flow from the waveform and the pump's speed and power into its logfiles. It also records all medium and high-priority alarms at the time they occur. The controller can store up to 30 days of pump parameter data before overwriting the data in a first in/first out fashion.
Autologs
When sent to the Autologs service, the data contained in the logfiles is charted and organized to simplify pump performance interpretation. The data shown in the reports is summarized to help the user identify major and long-term trends.
