A sophisticated electromechanical ventricular simulator for ventricular assist system testing.
1991
: With the advent of chronically implanted left ventricular assist systems, new adaptive control algorithms are being developed to allow automatic device control under a variety of hemodynamic conditions. An electromechanical pump is described that accurately mimics ventricular function. A pusher-plate sac pump with tri-leaflet valves is coupled to a high-speed linear motor. Pump chamber volume and pressure are constrained to follow the time-varying elastance model of ventricular function by use of a microprocessor feedback loop.
