    Information for physicians to manage patients who will receive an implant or who already had an implanted HM3 device: • During the implant, by fitting the Outflow Graft to the Pump Cap, a click sound should be heard while the Screw Ring is being tightened. Continue to rotate the screw ring clockwise until it stops completely and stop making click sound for a tight hand tight connection. • If a low-flow alarm persists at any time after implantation, and other potential causes such as hypertension, low preload, right heart failure, and influx occlusion were considered as cause, computed tomography (CT) angiography should be performed to identify possibility of occlusion of the graft of the graft output. • If surgical repair of the exit graft is necessary due to a torsion occlusion, the flexion relief of the exit graft must be reconnected in its original state or repaired to avoid further folds or occlusion of the graft. Physicians who manage patients who exhibit a persistent low-flow alarm should determine home-based patient care recommendations based on a single clinical case.
