Abstract
A controller for an implantable blood pump including processing circuitry in communication with the implantable blood pump and configured to generate at least one preventative alert.
Claims20
A controller for an implantable blood pump, the controller comprising:
- processing circuitry in communication with the implantable blood pump and configured to:
- determine to generate at least one preventative alert before an adverse event occurs at the implantable blood pump based on a user input or a clinician input, wherein the at least one preventative alert is dismissible by a user;
- and
- generate at least one reactive alert in response to the adverse event occurring at the implantable blood pump, wherein the at least one reactive alert lasts for a longer duration of time than the preventive alert.
1 more element
A method of operating a notification system of a controller for an implantable blood pump, the method comprising:
- determining to generate at least one preventative alert from the controller before an adverse event occurs at the implantable blood pump based on a user input or a clinician input, wherein the at least one preventative alert is dismissible by a user;
- and
- generating at least one reactive alert in response to the adverse event occurring, wherein the at least one reactive alert lasts for a longer duration of time than the preventive alert.
A controller for an implantable blood pump, the controller having a display, the controller comprising:
- a haptic device coupled to the controller;
- and
- processing circuitry in communication with the implantable blood pump and with the haptic device, the processing circuitry being configured to:
- determine to generate at least one preventative alert as a vibratory alert from the haptic device and as a text alert on the display before an adverse event occurs at the implantable blood pump based on a user input or a clinician input, wherein the at least one preventative alert is dismissible by a user;
- and
- generating at least one reactive alert in response to the adverse event occurring, wherein the at least one reactive alert lasts for a longer duration of time than the preventive alert.
