Abstract
A portable axial-flow polymer bridge pump with hydrodynamic bearings has been developed for bridge-to-bridge use. The pump is inexpensive to manufacture and disposable. It weighs 185 g and was verified to have a lifetime of 3 months with silent operation. For partial circulatory assist at a flow rate of 2 L/min, the clinical limit of hemolysis was verified for a rotational speed below 9000 rpm, at which a pressure of 100 mmHg was generated. In an anti-thrombogenic test, the pump stably operated for 6 h without thrombus formation.
期刊介绍:
The aim of the Journal of Artificial Organs is to introduce to colleagues worldwide a broad spectrum of important new achievements in the field of artificial organs, ranging from fundamental research to clinical applications. The scope of the Journal of Artificial Organs encompasses but is not restricted to blood purification, cardiovascular intervention, biomaterials, and artificial metabolic organs. Additionally, the journal will cover technical and industrial innovations. Membership in the Japanese Society for Artificial Organs is not a prerequisite for submission.
