Reliability evaluation of blood pump for mechanical heart by dynamic response test

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Before ventricular assist devices and replacement artificial hearts can be applied clinically, device performance must be evaluated. We developed a tester simulating bio-circulation in order to evaluate the stability of blood pumps across states ranging from resting to active. Automated load testers will prove useful in the development and evaluation of blood pumps, reducing the number of blood tests and animal experiments required.
