Systemic IV Heparin Rate

Abiomed recommends using a heparin concentration of 25 U/mL in the purge system. D5W with heparin 25 U/mL or 50 U/mL is acceptable.

Total heparin delivered to the patient should include heparin from both the Impella® heart pump’s purge system as well as the systemic IV heparin.
