How logfiles are created

HeartWare HVAD Waveform visualization

HVAD Waveforms

The HVAD Waveform is a visualization of blood flow through the HVAD, which is generated by 3 factors:

  1. Pressure at the inflow of the pump
  2. Pressure at the outflow of the pump
  3. Set speed
The controller records data every 15 minutes

Controller Logfiles

Every 15 minutes, the controller records the flow from the waveform and the pump's speed and power into its logfiles. It also records all medium- and high-priority alarms at the time they occur. The controller can store up to 30 days of pump parameter data before overwriting the data in a first in/first out fashion.

An HVAD Autologs report

Autologs

When sent to the Autologs service, the data contained in the logfiles is charted and organized in a way to simplify pump performance interpretation. The data shown in the reports is summarized to help the user identify major and long-term trends.
