Abstract

A fluid handling system includes a console configured to connect with a first electrical interface that is configured to connect to a plurality of components of the fluid handling system, the console including a second electrical interface configured to connect with the first electrical interface, a display, and one or more hardware processors. A control system includes the one or more hardware processors and a non-transitory memory storing instructions that, when executed, cause the control system to: detect an electrical signal from a first component of the plurality of components of the fluid handling system responsive to a caretaker performing a first instruction; determine a system state of the fluid handling system based at least in part on the electrical signal from the first component; compare the system state with a predetermined state condition corresponding to said first instruction; and output an indication on the display of the system state.

Claims (36)

1 . A fluid handling system comprising:

a console configured to connect with a first electrical interface that is configured to connect to a plurality of components of the fluid handling system, the console including a second electrical interface configured to connect with the first electrical interface, a display, and one or more hardware processors;

a control system comprising the one or more hardware processors and a non-transitory memory storing instructions that, when executed, cause the control system to:

detect an electrical signal from a first component of the plurality of components of the fluid handling system responsive to a caretaker performing a first instruction; and

determine a system state of the fluid handling system based at least in part on the electrical signal from the first component;

compare the system state with a predetermined state condition corresponding to said first instruction; and

output an indication on the display of the system state; and

a motor for driving a percutaneously insertable pump for bodily fluids, wherein the instructions further cause the control system to: i) determine a temperature of an impeller motor that rotates the impeller to pump blood and ii) shut off the impeller motor responsive to the determination of the temperature of the impeller motor.

2 . The fluid handling system according to claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the control system to generate on the display a first user interface including a visual indication of the first instruction.

3 . The fluid handling system according to claim 2 , wherein the instructions further cause the control system to generate on the display a second user interface including a visual indication of a second instruction based at least on the comparison indicating that the system state is within predetermined state condition and the first instruction is completed.

4 . The fluid handling system according to claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the control system to generate an alarm based at least on the comparison indicating that the system state is not within predetermined state condition.

5 . The fluid handling system according to claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the control system to determine a current drawn by the motor and shut off the motor if the current drawn exceeds a predetermined threshold.

6 . The fluid handling system according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of components comprises a catheter, and the instructions further cause the control system to: determine a flow state of fluid in the catheter and trigger an alarm based if the flow state is indicative of a blockage.

7 . The fluid handling system according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of components comprises a priming pump and a catheter assembly, and wherein the instructions further cause the control system to cause the priming pump to use a positive pressure to prime the catheter assembly with a biocompatible fluid.

8 . The fluid handling apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein the instructions further cause the control system to monitor a back pressure or current draw of the priming pump and terminate the priming if the back pressure or current draw exceeds a predetermined threshold.

9 . The fluid handling system according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of components comprises a priming pump and a catheter assembly, and wherein the instructions further cause the control system to cause the priming pump to use a negative pressure to prime the catheter assembly with a biocompatible fluid.

10 . The fluid handling apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein the instructions further cause the control system to monitor a back pressure or current draw of the priming pump and terminate the priming if the back pressure or current draw exceeds a predetermined threshold.

11 . The fluid handling system according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of components comprises a catheter assembly and a primer housing for housing at least a portion of the catheter assembly during a priming operation.

12 . The fluid handling system according to claim 11 , wherein the primer housing comprises a tapered portion configured to compress at least a portion of the catheter assembly from an expanded configuration to a collapsed configuration, the collapsed configuration having a smaller diameter than the expanded configuration.

13 . The fluid handling system according to claim 11 , wherein the catheter assembly comprises an expandable impeller.

14 . The fluid handling system according to claim 11 , further comprising a sensor for detecting air bubbles and wherein the instructions further cause the control system to control the sensor to detect the presence of air bubbles in the catheter assembly.

15 . The fluid handling system according to claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the control system to automatically begin a priming operation upon the system state being a predetermined condition.

16 . The fluid handling system according to claim 1 , further comprising at least one sensor for detecting a condition of a waste fluid line.

17 . The fluid handling system according to claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the control system to generate on the display an alert history for showing a history of alert conditions of the fluid handling system.

18 . The fluid handling system according to claim 1 , further comprising a catheter assembly, a biocompatible fluid source, and a waste fluid line.

19 . A fluid handling system comprising:

a console configured to connect with a first electrical interface that is configured to connect to a plurality of components of the fluid handling system, the console including a second electrical interface configured to connect with the first electrical interface, a display, and one or more hardware processors; and

a control system comprising the one or more hardware processors and a non-transitory memory storing instructions that, when executed, cause the control system to:

detect an electrical signal from a first component of the plurality of components of the fluid handling system responsive to a caretaker performing a first instruction;

determine a system state of the fluid handling system based at least in part on the electrical signal from the first component;

compare the system state with a predetermined state condition corresponding to said first instruction; and

output an indication on the display of the system state;

wherein the plurality of components comprises a priming pump and a catheter assembly, and wherein the instructions further cause the control system to:

cause the priming pump to use a pressure to prime the catheter assembly with a biocompatible fluid; and

monitor a back pressure or current draw of the priming pump and terminate the priming if the back pressure or current draw exceeds a predetermined threshold.

20 . The fluid handling system according to claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the control system to generate on the display a first user interface including a visual indication of the first instruction.
