It passes power from the Power Module, the Mobile Power Unit, Lithium-Ion Batteries, or its own integrated emergency backup supply, down to the LVAD via the Driveline. The HeartMate 3 System Controller constantly monitors system performance through communication with the implanted LVAD and Controller internal measurements and alerts the user to any alarm conditions by activating membrane panel LEDs and integrated audio annunciators. Further information on alarm conditions as well as system status can be attained by the user from the front panel LCD on the System Controller. When connected to a HeartMate Touch" Communication System, the System Controller sends information regarding the System Controller and Pump Status once per second to provide additional information to the user. This link also allows the clinician to set new patient operating parameters (e.g. pump speed) and provides a link for downloading trend and/or event recorder data. Component: Yes, HeartMate 3 LVAS
