The application is not intended to be limited to the particular embodiments described herein. Rather, the application is to cover all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the scope of the application as defined by the appended claims. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0039] Figure 1 An example percutaneous circulatory system 10 is shown, including a circulatory support device 12 positioned within a patient's 16 heart 14. The circulatory support device 12 can include a flexible elongate catheter shaft 20 having a first end attached to a handle 22 and a second end attached to a blood pump 24. Figure 1A blood pump 24 is shown positioned within a left ventricle 18 of a patient 16. The blood pump 24 can be percutaneously delivered (e.g., tracked) over a guidewire to the ventricle 18. For example, the catheter shaft 20 and blood pump 24 can be tracked over a guidewire through a femoral artery and descending aorta, past the aortic arch, through the ascending aorta, past the aortic valve, and into the left ventricle 18.

[0040] In some examples, the shaft 20 of the circulatory support device 12 can include one or more blood inlets located at a distal region of the catheter shaft 20, and one or more blood outlets located along a housing of the blood pump 24. In some examples, the blood pump 24 can be positioned within the heart 14 such that the one or more blood inlets located along the distal region of the catheter shaft 20 can be positioned within the left ventricle 18, and the one or more blood outlets located along the housing of the blood pump 24 can be positioned within the aorta. Additionally, the blood pump 24 can include an electric motor that drives an impeller (positioned within a housing of the blood pump 24) to rotate. In some examples, the motor can power the rotation of the impeller via electromagnetic induction. The rotating impeller can draw blood from the left ventricle (via the one or more blood inlets located at the distal region of the catheter shaft 2) into the aorta (via the one or more outflow inlets located along the housing of the blood pump 24). In other words, the electric motor-driven impeller pumps blood from the left ventricle through the aortic valve and into the ascending aorta.

[0041] Figure 1 A first end of the catheter shaft 20 is also shown attached to a handle 22. The handle 22 can include a distal end region attached to the catheter shaft 20, and a proximal end region attached to a power cable 26. The power cable 26 can include a distal end region connected to a control console 28. It should be appreciated that the handle 22 can include one or more actuators (e.g., buttons, joysticks, dials, switches, etc.) designed to allow a clinician to control various functions of the blood pump 24. For example, a clinician can control the rotational speed of the motor and / or impeller located in the blood pump 24 via actuation of one or more actuators located on the handle 22.

[0042] Additionally, percutaneous circulatory system 10 can include one or more sensors positioned along console 28, handle 22, catheter shaft 20, and / or blood pump 24. One or more sensors positioned along catheter shaft 20 and / or blood pump 24 within console 28, handle 22 can be designed to monitor blood pressure (e.g., arterial pressure, venous pressure), blood flow velocity, blood flow volume, or other parameters. Additionally, one or more sensors positioned along console 28 within handle 22, catheter shaft 20, and / or blood pump 24 can be designed to monitor other parameters of circulatory system 10, circulatory support device 12, and / or patient 16. Example parameters that can be sensed and monitored can include electrical connection of cable 26 to console 28, optical and / or electrical connection to pressure sensors positioned in catheter shaft 20 and / or blood pump 24, power supply current to blood pump 24, rotational speed of blood pump 24 impeller, arterial pressure, venous pressure, power supply current to motor, rotational speed of motor, motor revolutions per minute measurement, voltage driving motor, back EMF from motor, etc., as well as any combination or temporal pattern of signals corresponding to one or more of the parameters listed herein. Further, additional parameters (e.g., flow through blood pump 24) can be derived by processing combinations of any of the signals listed herein in a time-dependent manner.

[0043] Additionally, Figure 1 It is shown that console 28 can include one or more control knobs (e.g., buttons, knobs, dials, etc.) 30 and / or one or more displays. For example, Figure 1 It is shown that console 28 can include a first display 32 and a second display 34. It should be understood that console 28 can include more than two displays. Additionally, although Figure 1 It is shown that first display 32 and second display 34 are integrated into console 28, it is contemplated that circulatory system 10 can be designed such that first display 32, second display 34, or both first display 32 and second display 34 are separate, distinct components of circulatory system 10. In other words, first display 32, second display 34, or both first display 32 and second display 34 can be separate, standalone displays independent of console 28. In some examples, first display 32 and second display 34 can obtain their respective data from respective independent sources.

[0044] In some examples, the second display 34 can be designed to attach to the console 28 and / or the first display 32. For example, the first display 32 can be integrated into the console 28, and the second display 34 can be configured to attach to a portion of the console 28. In other examples, both the first display 32 and the second display 34 can be separate, standalone displays, where the second display 34 can be configured to attach to the first display 32, or where the first display 32 can be configured to attach to the second display 34.

[0045] Figure 2 The console 28 is shown to include one or more processors 36, memory 38, and I / O units 40, among other suitable components. The processors 36 of the console 28 can include a single processor or more than one processor that work alone or in concert (e.g., a first processor 36 that provides data / instructions to the first display 32 and a second processor 36 that provides data / instructions to the second display 34). The processors 36 can be configured to execute instructions, including instructions that can be loaded into the memory 38 and / or other suitable memory. Example processor components can include, without limitation, a microprocessor, a microcontroller, a multi-core processor, a graphics processing unit, a digital signal processor, an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), a field-programmable gate array (FPGA), discrete circuits, and / or other suitable types of data processing apparatuses. In some examples, the processors 36 of the console can be configured to execute program instructions. The program instructions can include, for example, firmware, microcode, or application code executed by the processors 36, microprocessors, and / or microcontrollers. The one or more processors 36 can be configured to each manage different functions. They can also be configured to perform the same functions simultaneously (e.g., a redundant system). Further still, they can be configured such that a first processor 36 performs a given function and a second processor 36 checks whether the results of the function of the first processor 36 are correct (e.g., a command-monitoring system).

[0046] In some examples, the first display 32 can be controlled primarily by firmware control instructions of the console, and thus, can require relatively less processing power, relatively less instructions, and very simple communication between the processors 36 and the display 32, as compared to the second display 34 (e.g., a touch screen display 34) that can be controlled primarily by an embedded computer with a flexible and relatively complex communication protocol.

[0047] The memory 38 of the console 28 can include a single memory component or more than one memory component, each working individually or in conjunction. Example types of memory can include random access memory (RAM), EEPROM, FLASH, suitable volatile storage, suitable non-volatile storage, persistent memory (e.g., read only memory (ROM), hard disks, flash memory, optical disk storage, and / or other suitable persistent memory), and / or other suitable types of memory. The memory 38 can be or can include a non-transitory computer readable medium.

[0048] The I / O unit 40 of the console 28 can include a single I / O component or more than one I / O component, each working individually or in conjunction. An example I / O unit 40 can be any type of communication port configured to communicate with other components of the circulatory system 10. Example types of I / O units 45 can include wired ports, wireless ports, radio frequency (RF) ports, Bluetooth Low Energy ports, Bluetooth ports, near field communication (NFC) ports, HDMI ports, Wi-Fi ports, Ethernet ports, VGA ports, serial ports, parallel ports, component video ports, S-video ports, composite audio / video ports, DVI ports, USB ports, optical ports, and / or other suitable ports.

[0049] Additionally, the first display 32 and / or the second display 34 can include, for example, CRTs, LEDs, 3D displays, other types of displays. The first display 32 and / or the second display 34 can present information related to the functioning and operational parameters of the circulatory system 10, the circulatory support device 12, and / or the physiological parameters of the patient 16 in a simple format that can be useful to a clinician. For example, the first display 32 and / or the second display 34 can be configured to display arterial pressure, venous pressure, power current to the blood pump 24, rotational speed of the blood pump 24 impeller, power current to the motor, rotational speed of the motor, revolutions per minute measurement of the motor, voltage driving the motor, back EMF from the motor, etc., as well as graphical information related to any combination or temporal pattern of signals corresponding to one or more of the parameters listed herein. In addition, additional parameters (e.g., flow through the blood pump 24) can be derived by processing any combination or temporal pattern of signals corresponding to one or more of the parameters listed herein in a time-dependent manner. Furthermore, the first display 32 can indicate whether the system 10 is operating normally, whether the system 10 detects a particular problem that can require additional (e.g., non-routine) procedures / adjustments, and / or whether the system 10 detects a particular problem that requires emergency procedures. Also, the first display 32 can include information that conveys a need for a particular response (e.g., action). For example, the display 32 can convey information that the blood pump 24 has failed and needs to be replaced immediately during a medical procedure.

[0050] In some examples, the circulatory system 10 can be designed such that the type and / or arrangement of graphical information displayed on the first display 32 can be different from the information displayed on the second display 34. For example, in some cases, the second display 34 can be designed to display detailed information about one or more functional, operational, and / or physiological parameters related to the circulatory system 10, the circulatory support device 12, and / or the patient 16, while the first display 32 can be designed to provide a simplified “global” information state summary of one or more functional, operational, or physiological parameters related to the circulatory system 10, the circulatory support device 12, and / or the patient 16.

[0051] As per the above, the first display 32 and / or the second display 34 can be configured to display information related to the functioning and operational parameters of the circulatory system 10, the circulatory support device 12, and / or the physiological parameters of the patient 16 in a simple format that can be useful to a clinician. For example, the first display 32 and / or the second display 34 can be configured to display arterial pressure, venous pressure, power current to the blood pump 24, rotational speed of the blood pump 24 impeller, power current to the motor, rotational speed of the motor, revolutions per minute measurement of the motor, voltage driving the motor, back EMF from the motor, etc., as well as graphical information related to any combination or temporal pattern of signals corresponding to one or more of the parameters listed herein. In addition, additional parameters (e.g., flow through the blood pump 24) can be derived by processing any combination or temporal pattern of signals corresponding to one or more of the parameters listed herein in a time-dependent manner. Furthermore, the first display 32 can indicate whether the system 10 is operating normally, whether the system 10 detects a particular problem that can require additional (e.g., non-routine) procedures / adjustments, and / or whether the system 10 detects a particular problem that requires emergency procedures. Also, the first display 32 can include information that conveys a need for a particular response (e.g., action). For example, the display 32 can convey information that the blood pump 24 has failed and needs to be replaced immediately during a medical procedure. Figure 1It can be appreciated that, in some examples, the first display 32 can occupy a smaller sized space within the console 28 as compared to the relatively larger sized second display 34. Accordingly, the first display 32 can be designed to provide a simplified visual summary of information that is designed to readily convey the status of one or more functions, operations, and / or physiological parameters of the circulatory system 10, the circulatory support device 12, and / or the patient 16. In some examples, the visual information displayed on the first display 32 can correspond to, be related to, or be associated with one or more functions, operations, and / or physiological parameters displayed on the second display 34. However, in other examples, the parameters displayed on the first display 32 can be unrelated to one or more parameters displayed on the second display 34.

[0052] Figure 3 is a schematic depiction of an example display of the first display 32 discussed herein. Figure 3 An example arrangement and relative positions of one or more symbols (e.g., icons, visual representations, text, logos, visual alerts, etc.) that can be displayed (e.g., illuminated) on the display 32 are shown. As will be discussed in greater detail below, one or more of the symbols can be illuminated on the display 32 in a variety of different modalities.

[0053] Figure 3 The example display 32 shown can include one or more “visual parameter arrays” arranged side-by-side relative to one another. For example, Figure 3 The display 32 is shown to include a first visual parameter array 42, a second visual parameter array 44, a third visual parameter array 46, a fourth visual parameter array 48, and a fifth visual parameter array 50. It should be appreciated that each individual “visual parameter array” 42, 44, 46, 48, 50 can include a group or cluster of symbols (e.g., icons, visual representations, text, logos, visual alerts, etc.) that collectively represent a particular function or physiological parameter of the circulatory system 10 and / or the patient 16, in addition to providing information about the “status” of that particular parameter.

[0054] Additionally, each visual parameter array can include a “visual parameter representation” and one or more “parameter status indicators.” For example, Figure 3 The visual parameter array 42 shown can include a “visual parameter representation” 42a that can include symbols (e.g., icons, visual representations, text, logos, visual alerts, etc.) related to, for example, the motor of the blood pump 24 of the circulatory device 12. Further, Figure 3The illustrated visual parameter array 42 can also include one or more“parameter status indicators” 42b, 42c, 42d, each of which can include a symbol (e.g., icon, visual representation, text, logo, visual alert, etc.) that can convey information related to, for example, an operating state or condition of a motor of the blood pump 24. It will be appreciated that various functional and physiological parameters of the circulatory system 10 and / or the patient 16 can be conveyed by the visual parameter array 42, 44, 46, 48, 50, as well as the parameter status indicators 42b, 42c, 42d, 44b, 44c, 44d, 46b, 46c, 46d, 48b, 48c, 48d, 50b, 50c, 50d, as described in greater detail below. Figure 3 The illustrated visual parameter arrays 42, 44, 46, 48, 50 represent.

[0055] According to Figure 3 It will also be appreciated that the visual parameter representations for the respective visual parameter arrays 42, 44, 46, 48, 50 and each parameter status indicator can be arranged as a vertical“stack” on the display 32. For example, Figure 3 The visual parameter array 42 is shown to include a first visual parameter representation 42a, a first parameter status indicator 42b, a second parameter status indicator 42c, and a third status parameter indicator 42d, each of which is vertically stacked relative to one another along a vertical axis 60 of the display 32. Further, Figure 3 The visual parameter array 44 is shown to include a first visual parameter representation 44a, a first parameter status indicator 44b, a second parameter status indicator 44c, and a third status parameter indicator 44d, each of which is vertically stacked relative to one another along a vertical axis 62 of the display 32. Still further, Figure 3 The visual parameter array 46 is shown to include a first visual parameter representation 46a, a first parameter status indicator 46b, a second parameter status indicator 46c, and a third status parameter indicator 46d, each of which is vertically stacked relative to one another along a vertical axis 64 of the display 32. Further, Figure 3 The visual parameter array 48 is shown to include a first visual parameter representation 48a, a first parameter status indicator 48b, a second parameter status indicator 48c, and a third status parameter indicator 48d, each of which is vertically stacked relative to one another along a vertical axis 66 of the display 32. Still further, Figure 3 The visual parameter array 50 is shown to include a first visual parameter representation 50a, a first parameter status indicator 50b, a second parameter status indicator 50c, and a third status parameter indicator 50d, each of which is vertically stacked relative to one another along a vertical axis 68 of the display 32.

[0056] Figure 3 The status indicators corresponding to each of the visual parameter arrays 42, 44, 46, 48, 50 are shown to be represented by an elongated rectangular shape. For example, Figure 3Each of the following is shown as a first state indicator 42b, 44b, 46b, 48b, 50b, a second state indicator 42c, 44c, 46c, 48c, 50c, and a third state indicator 42d, 44d, 46d, 48d, 50d, represented as an elongated rectangular "bar". Therefore, as... Figure 3 As shown, the first status indicators 42b, 44b, 46b, 48b, and 50b can form rectangular bars extending horizontally across the display 32 (each of which can be individually illuminated on the display 32), the second status indicators 42c, 44c, 46c, 48c, and 50c can form rectangular bars extending horizontally across the display 32 (each of which can be individually illuminated on the display 32), and the third status indicators 42d, 44d, 46d, 48d, and 50d can form rectangular bars extending horizontally across the display 32 (each of which can be individually illuminated on the display 32). However, it should be understood that any of the status indicators described herein can be represented by any shape on the display 32. For example, any of the status indicators (or visual parameter representations) can be represented by a square, triangle, rectangle, ellipse, circle, star, polygon, or any other shape.

[0057] Additionally, it should be understood that any of the symbols (e.g., any symbol used as a visual parameter representation or any status indicator discussed herein) may be represented by color. For example, in some cases, the first status indicators 42b, 44b, 46b, 48b, and 50b may be illuminated in white, the second status indicators 42c, 44c, 46c, 48c, and 50c may be illuminated in yellow, and the third status indicators 42d, 44d, 46d, 48d, and 50d may be illuminated in red. It should be understood that any color or color arrangement may be used to represent and / or illuminate any symbol (e.g., any symbol used as a visual parameter representation or any status indicator) on display 32.

[0058] Additionally, the example display 32 can be configured such that any individual symbol (e.g., icon, visual representation, text, sign, visual alarm, etc.) can be displayed individually or in combination with any other symbol on display 32. Furthermore, the symbols displayed on display 32 (e.g., icon, visual representation, text, sign, visual alarm, etc.) can be associated with any information displayed on the first display 32 (e.g., corresponding, related, etc.).

[0059] although Figure 3It is shown that the display 32 includes five arrays of visual parameters 42, 44, 46, 48, 50, but it should be understood that the display 32 can include fewer than five arrays of visual parameters (each of which can include one or more visual parameter representations and / or status indicators). Alternatively, it should be understood that the display 32 can include more than five arrays of visual parameters (each of which can include one or more visual parameter representations and / or status indicators). For example, the display 32 can include 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, or more arrays of visual parameters (each of which can include one or more visual parameter representations and / or status indicators).

[0060] Figure 3 It is also shown that, in some examples, Figure 3 The one or more visual parameter representations, the first parameter status indicator, the second parameter status indicator, and / or the third status parameter indicator discussed in the Figure 3 It is shown that, in some examples, the visual parameter representations 42a, 44a, 46a, 48a, 50a can be horizontally aligned relative to one another along a horizontal axis 52 of the display 32. Further, Figure 3 It is shown that, in some examples, the first status indicators 42b, 44b, 46b, 48b, 50b can be horizontally aligned relative to one another along a horizontal axis 54 of the display 32. Further, Figure 3 It is shown that, in some examples, the second status indicators 42c, 44c, 46c, 48c, 50c can be horizontally aligned relative to one another along a horizontal axis 56 of the display 32. Further, Figure 3 It is shown that, in some examples, the third status indicators 42d, 44d, 46d, 48d, 50d can be horizontally aligned relative to one another along a horizontal axis 58 of the display 32.

[0061] Figure 3 It is shown that, in some examples, the visual parameter representations and status indicators can be arranged in a particular order along a vertical axis of the respective array of visual parameters. For example, Figure 3 It is shown that the visual parameter representation 42a can be positioned between the second status indicator 42c and the third status indicator 42d of the first array of visual parameters 42. Figure 3 It is also shown that Figure 3Each of the other visual parameter arrays 44, 46, 48, 50 shown can have a similar arrangement as the visual parameter array 42, whereby the respective visual parameter representation 44a, 46a, 48a, 50a is positioned between the second state indicator 44c, 46c, 48c, 50c and the third state indicator 44d, 46d, 48d, 50d of the respective visual state array 44, 46, 48, 50.

[0062] It should be appreciated that the visual parameter representations and state indicators of any individual visual parameter array 42, 44, 46, 48, 50 discussed herein can be arranged in any given configuration. For example, for any visual parameter array 42, 44, 46, 48, 50, the visual parameter representation 42a, 44a, 46a, 48a, 50a can be positioned in any order relative to any of its corresponding state indicators. For example, the visual parameter representation 42a can be positioned in any order between the first state indicator 42b, the second state indicator 42c, and the third state indicator 42d of the first visual parameter array 42. For example, the visual parameter representation 42a, the first state indicator 42b, the second state indicator 42c, and the third state indicator 42d can be ordered (from top to bottom along the vertical axis 60) as: the visual parameter representation 42a to the first state indicator 42b to the second state indicator 42c to the third state indicator 42d; or can be ordered as the first state indicator 42b to the visual parameter representation 42a to the second state indicator 42c to the third state indicator 42d; or can be ordered as the first state indicator 42b to the second state indicator 42c to the third state indicator 42d to the visual parameter representation 42a. It should be appreciated that the vertical arrangement of the visual parameter representations and state indicators of the other individual visual parameter arrays 44, 46, 48, 50 can be similar to the vertical arrangement of the visual parameter 42a discussed herein.

[0063] Figure 3 An example display 134 is shown, which can be similar in form and function to the display 32 discussed herein. Figure 3 Visual parameter representations 142a, 144a, 146a, 148a, 150a are shown, which are horizontally aligned with one another along the display 134 (similar to the horizontal alignment of the visual parameter representations 42a, 44a, 46a, 48a, 50a discussed herein). Figure 4 The horizontal alignment of the visual parameter representations 42a, 44a, 46a, 48a, 50a discussed herein). Figure 4It is further shown that each of the visual parameter representations 142a, 144a, 146a, 148a, 150a can include a symbol (e.g., an icon) that can represent a particular function or operational parameter of the circulatory system 10 or a physiological parameter of the patient 16. For example, the visual parameter representation 142a can include a symbol representing the electrical connection of the power cable 26 to the control console 28, the visual parameter representation 144a can include a symbol representing the location of the blood pump 24 within the patient 16, the visual parameter representation 148a can include a symbol representing the amount of suction applied by the blood pump 24 within the heart 14 of the patient 16, and the visual parameter representation 150a can include a symbol representing the rotational speed of the motor driving the impeller of the blood pump 24. Further, Figure 3 It is shown that, in some examples, the visual parameter representations 142a, 144a, 146a, 148a, 150a can include text describing a particular function or operational parameter of the circulatory system 10 or a physiological parameter of the patient 16. For example, Figure 4 The illustrated visual parameter representation 146a includes the text "MAP" representing the "mean arterial pressure" within the aorta of the patient heart 16. However, it is contemplated that the visual parameter representation 146a can be represented by an icon, similar to Figure 4 The other illustrated visual parameter representations 142a, 144a, 148a, 150a.

[0064] Figure 4 It is further shown that the first status indicators 142b, 144b, 146b, 148b, 150b can be vertically aligned with each of the visual parameter representations 142a, 144a, 146a, 148a, 150a. The first status indicators 142b, 144b, 146b, 148b, 150b can be similar to the first status indicators 42b, 44b, 46b, 48b, 50b discussed in relation to Figure 4 The first status indicators 42b, 44b, 46b, 48b, 50b described. Figure 4 It is further shown that the first status indicators 142b, 144b, 146b, 148b, 150b can be horizontally aligned with each other, similar to the first status indicators 42b, 44b, 46b, 48b, 50b discussed in relation to Figure 3 The first status indicators 42b, 44b, 46b, 48b, 50b described.

[0065] Figure 4 An example display 234 is shown, which can be similar in form and function to the displays 34, 134 discussed herein. Figure 3 Visual parameter representations 242a, 244a, 246a, 248a, 250a are shown, which are horizontally aligned with each other along the display 234 (similar to the horizontal alignment of the visual parameter representations 42a, 44a, 46a, 48a, 50a discussed in relation to Figure 5 The visual parameter representations 42a, 44a, 46a, 48a, 50a discussed). Figure 5It is further shown that each of the visual parameter representations 242a, 244a, 248a, 250a, 150a can include text that represents (e.g., describes, indicates) a particular function or operational parameter of the circulatory system 10 or a physiological parameter of the patient 16. For example, the visual parameter representation 242a can include the text“Connection,” which can represent the electrical connection of the power cable 26 to the control console 28; the visual parameter representation 244a can include the text“Position,” which can represent the position of the blood pump 24 within the patient 16; the visual parameter representation 246a can include the text“Pressure,” which can represent a particular blood pressure (e.g., mean arterial pressure, etc.) within the patient’s heart 16; the visual parameter representation 248a can include the text“Suction,” which can represent the amount of suction applied by the blood pump 24 within the patient’s heart 14; and the visual parameter representation 250a can include the text“Motor,” which represents the rotational speed of the motor that drives the impeller of the blood pump 24.

[0066] Figure 3 It is further shown that the first status indicators 242b, 244b, 246b, 248b, 250b can be vertically aligned with each of the visual parameter representations 242a, 244a, 246a, 248a, 250a. The first status indicators 242b, 244b, 246b, 248b, 250b can be similar to the first status indicators 42b, 44b, 46b, 48b, 50b described in relation to Figure 5 the display 34. Figure 5 It is further shown that the first status indicators 242b, 244b, 246b, 248b, 250b can be horizontally aligned with each other, similar to the first status indicators 42b, 44b, 46b, 48b, 50b described in relation to Figure 3 the display 34.

[0067] Figure 4 Another example display 334 is shown, which can be similar in form and function to the other displays discussed herein. Figure 3 Visual parameter representations 342a, 344a, 346a, 348a, 350a are shown, which are horizontally aligned with each other along the display 334 (similar to the horizontal alignment of the visual parameter representations 42a, 44a, 46a, 48a, 50a discussed in relation to Figure 6 the display 34). Figure 6 It is further shown that each of the visual parameter representations 342a, 344a, 348a, 350a can include a symbol (e.g., an icon) that can represent a particular function or operational parameter of the circulatory system 10 or a physiological parameter of the patient 16 (similar to the icons discussed in relation to Figure 3 the display 34). Moreover, Figure 6Further illustration shows that the first state indicators 342b, 344b, 346b, 348b, and 350b are represented by circles, wherein each of the circular state indicators 342b, 344b, 346b, 348b, and 350b is aligned with each other along the horizontal axis 354. Furthermore, Figure 4 The second status indicators 342c, 344c, 346c, 348c, and 350c are shown to be represented by larger circles (relative to the circles representing status indicators 342b, 344b, 346b, 348b, and 350b), wherein each of the circular status indicators 342c, 344c, 346c, 348c, and 350c is aligned with each other along the horizontal axis 356. Furthermore, Figure 6 The third state indicators 342d, 344d, 346d, 348d, and 350d are shown to be represented by even larger circles (relative to the circles representing state indicators 342b, 344b, 346b, 348b, 350b and 342c, 344c, 346c, 348c, and 350c), wherein each of the circular state indicators 342d, 344d, 346d, 348d, and 350d is aligned with each other along the horizontal axis 358. Additionally, Figure 6 It is shown that the first status indicators 342b, 344b, 346b, 348b, 350b, the second status indicators 342c, 344c, 346c, 348c, 350c, and the third status indicators 342d, 344d, 346d, 348d, 350d shown on display 334 are not aligned with each other along a given vertical axis. As described herein, Figure 6 Any of the status indicators (or visual parameter representations) shown can be represented by any shape, including squares, triangles, rectangles, ellipses, circles, stars, polygons, etc.

[0068] Figure 6 An example display 432 is shown, which may be similar in form and function to the display 32 discussed herein. Figure 6 Visual parameters 442a, 444a, 446a, 448a, and 450a are shown, which are horizontally aligned with each other along the display 432 (similar to the related...). Figure 7 The visual parameters discussed represent the horizontal alignment of 42a, 44a, 46a, 48a, and 50a. Figure 7It is further shown that each of the visual parameter representations 442a, 444a, 446a, 448a, 450a can include a symbol (e.g., an icon) that can represent a particular function or operational parameter of the circulatory system 10 or a physiological parameter of the patient 16. For example, the visual parameter representation 442a can include a symbol representing the electrical connection of the power cable 26 to the control console 28, the visual parameter representation 444a can include a symbol representing the rotational speed of the motor driving the impeller of the blood pump 24, the visual parameter representation 446a can include a symbol representing the amount of suction applied by the blood pump 24 within the heart 14 of the patient 16, and the visual parameter representation 448a can include a symbol representing the location of the blood pump 24 within the patient 16. Further, Figure 3 It is shown that, in some examples, the visual parameter representations 442a, 444a, 446a, 448a, 450a can include text describing a particular function or operational parameter of the circulatory system 10 or the patient 16. For example, Figure 7 The visual parameter representation 450a shown includes the text "MAP" representing the "mean arterial pressure" within the aorta of the patient heart 16. However, it is to be understood that the visual parameter representation 450a can be represented by an icon, similar to Figure 7 The other visual parameter representations 442a, 444a, 446a, 448a shown.

[0069] Figure 7 It is further shown that the first status indicators 442b, 444b, 446b, 448b, 450b can be vertically aligned with each of the visual parameter representations 442a, 444a, 446a, 448a, 450a. The first status indicators 442b, 444b, 446b, 448b, 450b can be similar to the first status indicators 42b, 44b, 46b, 48b, 50b described with respect to Figure 7 The first status indicators 42b, 44b, 46b, 48b, 50b described. Figure 7 It is further shown that the first status indicators 442b, 444b, 446b, 448b, 450b can be horizontally aligned with each other, similar to the first status indicators 42b, 44b, 46b, 48b, 50b described with respect to Figure 3 The first status indicators 42b, 44b, 46b, 48b, 50b described.

[0070] As discussed herein, each of the visual parameter arrays 42, 44, 46, 48, 50 shown and described herein can identify (e.g., represent, symbolize, etc.) a particular functional or operational parameter of the circulatory system 10 or a physiological parameter of the patient 16 while also conveying information regarding the "state" of the particular parameter during the medical procedure. For example, the display 32 can be configured to present the state information related to the functional parameter of the circulatory system 10 or the physiological parameter of the patient 16 in a simple, easy-to-understand format such that the clinician can readily determine the state of each parameter represented by the visual parameter arrays 42, 44, 46, 48, 50 from the display 32.

[0071] Accordingly, in some cases, the first, second, and third state indicators of a given visual parameter array can provide real-time, step-wise (e.g., progressive) state information (e.g., alarm indications) corresponding to a functional or physiological parameter of the system 10 or the patient 16. Figure 7 The display 32 is shown to progressively advance a step-wise state indication (e.g., alarm indication) corresponding to an example parameter of the system 10 (e.g., the electrical connection between the power cable 26 and the console 28). Accordingly, in some cases, Figure 3 The visual parameter representation 42a shown can include a symbol (e.g., Figures 8 to 10 The icon 142a shown), which conveys to the clinician that the visual parameter array 42 represents the electrical connection between the power cable 26 and the console 28 of the system 10. Further, Figure 8 The display 32 is shown to display the first state indicator 44b (without displaying the state indicators 44c, 44d) positioned below the visual parameter representation 42a on the horizontal axis 54. The display of the first state indicator 44b can convey that the state of the electrical connection between the power cable 26 and the console 28 is in an "information / advice" (e.g., normal, routine, etc.) operating condition (e.g., a sufficient amount of electrical current is being transferred along the power cable 26 between the console 28 and the circulatory support device 12). In other words, the display of any of the first state indicators 42b, 44b, 46b, 48b, 50b can convey to the clinician that the parameter to which the first state indicator 42b, 44b, 46b, 48b, 50b relates is operating in a normal (e.g., routine) operating condition.

[0072] Further, in some examples, the processing system of the system 10 can be programmed to define a numerical range, a minimum threshold, a maximum threshold, etc., which defines the "information / advice" operating condition of the particular parameter to which a given first indicator 42b, 44b, 46b, 48b, 50b relates. As Figure 3As shown, when each of the first status indicators 42b, 44b, 46b, 48b, 50b is displayed (e.g., the first indicators 42b, 44b, 46b, 48b, 50b are displayed in a solid row along the horizontal axis 54), the display 32 conveys to the clinician that all parameters represented by the visual parameter arrays 42, 44, 46, 48, 50 are operating under normal operating conditions and do not require user action.

[0073] Figure 8 The display 32 shows a second status indicator 42c that represents parameters (e.g., electrical connection between power cable 26 and console 28) indicated by visual parameter representation 42a. Figure 8 The visual parameter representation 42a shows that the state has changed from "information / consultation operation condition" (represented by status indicator 42b) to "serious" (e.g., warning condition) (represented by status indicator 42c). This can indicate that the functional, operational, or physiological parameters represented by the visual parameter representation 42a have exceeded the scope of information / consultation operation and entered a serious condition, which may require user action and the parameters may need to be improved, adjusted, etc. (e.g., the current flowing along the power cable 26 between the console 28 and the circulation support device 12 may be in an abnormal state).

[0074] Furthermore, in some examples, the processing system of system 10 can be programmed to limit numerical ranges, minimum thresholds, maximum thresholds, etc., which limit the “critical” operating conditions of specific parameters associated with given second state indicators 42c, 44c, 46c, 48c, 50c.

[0075] Figure 9 The diagram shows the second status indicator 42c (positioned on the horizontal axis 56), while the status indicator 42b (positioned on the horizontal axis 54) is no longer shown. In other words, [the diagram shows the second status indicator 42c, positioned on the horizontal axis 54]. Figure 9 The display shown is Figure 9 The comparison shown in the display illustrates that 42a is represented by visual parameters (e.g., Figure 8 The “status” of the parameter (e.g., the electrical connection between power cable 26 and console 28) represented by icon 142a) has been moved upwards along the vertical axis 60 of the visual parameter array 42. Figure 9 As shown, clinicians can quickly view Figure 3 The display 32 shown indicates that the state of the parameter represented by the visual parameter representation 42a has changed from the first state indicator 42b to the second state indicator 42c. Furthermore, it should be understood that... Figure 9 The display 32 shown indicates that the status of the parameters corresponding to the other visual parameter arrays 44, 46, 48, and 50 is still under information / consultation operation conditions.

[0076] Figure 9 The display 32 is shown displaying a status indicator 42d of a parameter represented by the visual parameter representation 42a (e.g., the electrical connection between the power cable 26 and the console 28). Figure 9 The visual parameter representation 42a is shown having changed from a severe condition to a “critical” condition, which can indicate that the functional, operational, or physiological parameter represented by the visual parameter representation 42a has moved beyond the pre-alarm range and into a critical condition, whereby immediate user action is required, and the parameter needs to be changed and / or the medical procedure can need to be stopped (e.g., a condition in which the circulatory support device 12 no longer receives power from the console 28, and thus the blood pump 24 cannot operate).

[0077] Figure 10 The display is shown displaying a third status indicator 42d (positioned on the horizontal axis 58), and no longer displaying the status indicator 42c (which was positioned on the horizontal axis 56 in Figure 10 In other words, the display shown in Figure 10 is compared to the display shown in Figure 9 The “status” of the parameter represented by the visual parameter representation 42a (e.g., the electrical connection between the power cable 26 and the console 28) has moved upward along the vertical axis 60 of the visual parameter array 42, as shown in Figure 9 The clinician can quickly view the display 32 shown in Figure 10 and understand that the status of the parameter represented by the visual parameter representation 42a has transitioned from the second status indicator 42c to the third status indicator 42d. Further, from the display 32 shown in Figure 3 it should be understood that the status of the parameters corresponding to the remaining visual parameter arrays 44, 46, 48, 50 are still in the informational / consultative operating condition. Figure 10

[0078] Additionally, in some examples, the non-display of a status indicator within a visual parameter array 42, 44, 46, 48, 50 can convey to the clinician that the status of the parameter represented by the visual parameter representation is unknown or not yet determined at that time.

[0079] Further, in some examples, the processing system of the system 10 can be programmed to define a numerical range, a minimum threshold, a maximum threshold, or the like, which defines a “critical” operating condition of a particular parameter to which a given second status indicator 42d, 44d, 46d, 48d, 50d corresponds.

[0080] Figure 10 Another example is shown whereby the display 32 conveys information about the condition of a functional, operational, or patient parameter by displaying different status indicators of the plurality of visual parameter arrays 42, 44, 46, 48, 50.​Figure 10 The display 32 is shown how it can be designed to present the status of the system 10 and / or patient 16 parameters in an easily understood format so that the clinician can readily determine from the display 32 the status of each parameter represented by the visual parameter array 42, 44, 46, 48, 50.

[0081] For example, Figure 11 The first status indicator 42b, 50b is shown displayed on the horizontal axis 54, whereby the display of the first status indicator 42b, 50b conveys to the clinician that the parameter represented by the visual parameter representation 42a, 50a is operating in an "information / advisory" operating state. Figure 11 Further, the second status indicator 44c is shown displayed on the horizontal axis 56, whereby the display of the second status indicator 44c conveys to the clinician that the parameter represented by the visual parameter representation 44a is operating in a "severe" operating state. Still further, Figure 11 The third status indicator 46d is shown displayed on the horizontal axis 58, whereby the display of the third status indicator 46d conveys to the clinician that the parameter represented by the visual parameter representation 46a is operating in a "critical" operating state. Still further, Figure 11 A status indicator for the visual parameter array 48 is shown not displayed. Thus, since a status indicator for the visual parameter array 48 is not displayed, it is understood that the status of the parameter represented by the visual parameter representation 48a is unknown. For example, if the visual parameter representation 48a represents the location of a blood pump within the patient, the display of no status indicator within the visual parameter array 48 can convey to the clinician that the location of the blood pump within the patient is unknown at that time. Further, if the location of the blood pump becomes known, a status indicator can appear within the visual parameter array 48 (as described herein) thereby conveying to the clinician the operating state of the blood pump location within the patient. It should be understood that, Figure 11 The display configuration shown will allow the clinician to quickly assess that the parameter represented by the visual parameter representation 42a, 50a is operating in an information / advisory condition, that the parameter represented by the visual parameter representation 44a can need to be adjusted, that the parameter represented by the visual parameter representation 46a can need to be immediately changed or medical procedure stopped, and that the status of the parameter represented by the visual parameter representation 48a is unknown.

[0082] In some examples, it will be appreciated that the status indicators within a given visual parameter array can remain displayed while other status indicators of the visual parameter array are displayed. In other words, the display 32 can be configured to operate such that a first status indicator can be displayed during normal operating conditions, a second status indicator can be displayed during severe conditions (whereby the first status indicator remains displayed with the second status indicator), and a third status indicator can be displayed during critical conditions (whereby the first and second status indicators can remain displayed with the third status indicator).

[0083] Figure 11 An alternative arrangement of the visual parameter arrays 42, 44, 46, 48, 50 is shown. Figure 11 An alternative arrangement of the visual parameter arrays 42, 44, 46, 48, 50 is shown. Figure 12 An alternative arrangement of the visual parameter arrays 42, 44, 46, 48, 50 is shown. Figure 3 The display 32 discussed can be arranged such that the visual parameter representations 42a, 44a, 46a, 48a, 50a are vertically aligned with respect to one another. Figure 12 The visual parameter representations 42a, 44a, 46a, 48a, 50a are shown vertically aligned along a vertical axis 80. Further, Figure 3 It is further shown that each of the first, second, and third status indicators corresponding to each individual visual parameter representation 42a, 44a, 46a, 48a, 50a can be horizontally aligned with its respective visual parameter representation 42a, 44a, 46a, 48a, 50a on a horizontal axis. For example, Figure 12 It is shown that the visual parameter representation 42a is horizontally aligned along a horizontal axis 70 with a first status indicator 42b, a second horizontal indicator 42c, and a third horizontal indicator 42d. Figure 12 It is further shown that the visual parameter representation 44a is horizontally aligned along a horizontal axis 72 with a first status indicator 44b, a second horizontal indicator 44c, and a third horizontal indicator 44d. Figure 12 It is further shown that the visual parameter representation 46a is horizontally aligned along a horizontal axis 74 with a first status indicator 46b, a second horizontal indicator 46c, and a third horizontal indicator 46d. Figure 12 It is further shown that the visual parameter representation 48a is horizontally aligned along a horizontal axis 76 with a first status indicator 48b, a second horizontal indicator 48c, and a third horizontal indicator 48d. Figure 12 Figure 12 Figure 12 It is further shown that the visual parameter representation 50a is horizontally aligned along a horizontal axis 78 with a first status indicator 50b, a second horizontal indicator 50c, and a third horizontal indicator 50d.
