Abstract:
The Cleveland Clinic continuous flow blood pump is the central element of our innovative ventricular assist system (IVAS). Recent progress has been made in the design/fabrication of a pulsatile mock loop, journal bearing materials testing, and evaluation of a system control algorithm. These results have allowed an acceleration of our program.
