Description

The Maquet BE-PLS 2050 PLS Set is a specialized, pre-assembled disposable circuit engineered for high-performance Extracorporeal Life Support (ECLS). Developed by Getinge (Maquet), this integrated kit is designed exclusively for use with the Rotaflow II system, providing critical cardiopulmonary support for patients in the ICU, OR, and during emergency transport.

With a focus on biocompatibility and sustained performance, the BE-PLS 2050 supports extended therapy durations of up to 14 days, offering a reliable solution for both cardiac and respiratory failure management.


Core Technology: Bioline Coating & Integrated Design

The hallmark of the BE-PLS 2050 is its Bioline Coating, a heparin-based surface treatment applied to all blood-contacting surfaces. This technology mimics the natural vascular endothelium to:

  • Reduce the systemic inflammatory response.

  • Minimize platelet activation and clotting.

  • Optimize hemolysis resistance over long-term use.

By combining the Quadrox oxygenator with the Rotaflow centrifugal pump in a pre-connected format, the set reduces priming volume and minimizes the risk of air entrainment during setup.


Mechanism of Action

The BE-PLS 2050 functions as an external respiratory and circulatory bypass.

  1. Propulsion: The Rotaflow centrifugal pump utilizes a polycarbonate housing and a low-friction design to move blood at rates between 0.5 and 7.0 L/min.

  2. Gas Exchange: Blood enters the Quadrox membrane oxygenator (1.8 m² surface area), where carbon dioxide is removed and oxygen is added via high-efficiency microporous fibers.

  3. Thermoregulation: An integrated heat exchanger (0.4 m²) allows clinicians to manage the patient’s core body temperature precisely during bypass.

  4. Safeguards: The low-resistance 3/8″ tubing is rated for pressures up to 400 mmHg, ensuring circuit integrity even at high flow rates.


Clinical Applications and Uses

The PLS 2050 set is versatile, supporting multiple extracorporeal modalities:

  • VA-ECMO (Veno-Arterial): Provides both gas exchange and circulatory support for patients in cardiogenic shock or cardiac arrest (eCPR).

  • VV-ECMO (Veno-Venous): Provides dedicated respiratory support for patients with severe ARDS or acute lung failure.

  • Bridge Therapy: Acts as a bridge to recovery, transplant, or long-term VAD (Ventricular Assist Device) placement.

Treatment & Implementation Process

The pre-assembled nature of the PLS Set allows for rapid deployment in critical scenarios:

  1. Priming: The circuit is typically primed with a balanced electrolyte solution or blood products, depending on patient size and clinical urgency.

  2. Cannulation: Clinicians establish vascular access (central or peripheral) to connect the patient to the 3/8″ tubing.

  3. Initiation: Support begins at low flow, gradually increasing to the target rate (up to 7 L/min) while monitoring the Rotaflow II console.

  4. Maintenance: The Bioline coating allows for stable long-term therapy with reduced anticoagulation requirements compared to uncoated circuits.

  5. Monitoring: Pressure safeguards and gas exchange efficiency are monitored continuously for up to 14 days.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long can the Maquet BE-PLS 2050 be used continuously?

The BE-PLS 2050 PLS Set is validated for continuous clinical use for up to 14 days. This extended duration is significantly longer than many standard ECLS circuits, making it ideal for patients requiring prolonged respiratory or circulatory stabilization in the ICU or while awaiting further treatment.

What is the benefit of Bioline Coating on this ECLS circuit?

Bioline Coating is a leading-edge biocompatible surface treatment that combines heparin with albumin. It covers all blood-contacting parts of the circuit to minimize the body’s inflammatory response, reduce blood clot formation, and prevent hemolysis, which is essential for maintaining patient safety during long-term extracorporeal support.

Can the PLS 2050 set be used for pediatric patients?

The BE-PLS 2050 is designed for flow rates between 0.5 and 7.0 L/min, which typically covers adult and larger adolescent populations. For neonatal or small pediatric patients requiring much lower flow rates and smaller priming volumes, specialized pediatric-specific ECLS sets should be used to ensure optimal hemodynamics.

Is the BE-PLS 2050 set compatible with the original Rotaflow console?

This specific set is optimized for the Rotaflow II system, the next generation of Getinge’s ECLS technology. While the pump technology is similar, clinicians should always verify exact console and drive-unit compatibility to ensure that the pressure sensors and flow measurements integrate correctly with the hardware.

What specific components are included in the pre-assembled set?

The kit includes the Rotaflow centrifugal pump, the Quadrox oxygenator with an integrated heat exchanger, and the necessary 3/8″ low-resistance tubing. Being pre-assembled means all components are pre-connected and sterile, which reduces the time required for the clinical team to prime and initiate the bypass.

What is the maximum pressure the BE-PLS 2050 can handle?

The circuit and tubing are engineered with pressure safeguards to handle a maximum of 400 mmHg. This high pressure rating ensures that the system can maintain high flow rates (up to 7.0 L/min) safely, providing sufficient support for adult patients with high systemic resistance or large body surface areas.
