Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to develop diaphragm-type pneumatic ventricular assist device(VAD) for clinical application and to evaluate its performance through the mock circulation system. The blood housing and diaphragm are made by coating pellethane on the metallic mold and the back plate is made by machining process. The relations of cardiac output(CO) vs. beat rate and CO vs. systolic-to-diastolic rate was estimated through the mock test and hemodynamic waves are recorded for the evaluation of VAD. As a result, the volume of blood pump is 70 ml, maximum CO is 5 L/min and CO has a close relation to the input resistance of blood pump. The hemodynamic data and waves showed this system can be applicable to the animal experiment.
