Impella App vs Thopaz+ Simulator

The Impella® App provides key resources health care professionals can access pre- and post-procedure at the point of care from the cath lab, ICU, OR or while in transport to improve patient outcomes. When patient care is critical, minutes matter. Offline content mode ensures cardiologists, surgeons, nurses, advanced practice providers and medical technicians always have access to the videos, content and algorithms they need. This app provides: - Step-by-step videos on the setup and insertion of Impella heart pumps - Personalized experience based on role and specialty - Calculators such as heparin rate, CPO, PAPi and AKI - Interactive Protected PCI patient selection checklist - Impella instructions for use (IFUs) - Click-to-call access to Abiomed’s 24/7 Clinical Support Center

Medela's Thopaz+ takes chest drainage therapy to a new level of care. Unlike analogue systems, it reliably regulates the applied pressure at the patient's chest and digitally (and quietly) monitors critical therapy indicators. Clinical data has demonstrated that Medela's chest drainage therapy improves outcomes and streamlines the delivery of care. This simulator helps you to become familiar with Thopaz+ and its advanced functions. You can… - simulate a functional check - simulate visual and audio warnings and alarms - simulate the catheter check - change all menu settings - simulate fluid drainage - see examples of air leak and fluid histories - see an example of an event history DISCLAIMER:  This app is intended to be a tool to provide information only.
