Type IV Single Suspension Link Assembly.  The type IV single suspension link assembly (1) consists of a body (2), pins (3), rollers (4), spring (5), button (6), plate (7), and lock (8).  Stops (9) on the side link plate prevent removal of the side link cover lock.  This assembly is used in the formation of the extraction system.   The Type IV link can also be used when a single extraction link is required. NOTE The type IV link assembly will not be authorized for LVAD use after   31 December 2003. 3 2 6 6 4 5 1
