Century HLM, LLC

Century HLM, LLC manufactures the Century Heart Lung Machine (HLM), a cardiopulmonary bypass system designed for cardiac surgery and extracorporeal circulation support. The system features a Stöckert-designed centrifugal pump with exceptional durability and reliability, housed in a heavy-duty, single-piece raceway construction made from industrial-grade materials in the USA. The platform supports third-party centrifugal pump compatibility and includes integrated roller pump capability for dual 1/4" tubing. The CPC (Century Perfusion Console) touchscreen interface provides intuitive operation requiring only one hour of training, with monitoring and control of four pressures, four temperatures, four timers, and four detectors (two bubble, two level), plus automatic cardioplegia functions. The system includes an industry-leading UPS battery backup providing 2 hours of full system power or 5 hours of arterial pump operation. Data logging captures parameters every 10 seconds (5 seconds during alarms) and can be downloaded via USB or streamed to EMR systems via RS-232. The console base accepts standalone centrifugal pumps, cardioplegia systems, and compact heater-coolers. The company emphasizes low total cost of ownership, backed by 24/7 technical support and a 4-year warranty. Customization options include LED lamp, laptop tray, writing tray, mast configurations, and storage shelves. The company is perfusionist-owned and perfusionist-driven in product design and support.
