Total artificial heart system with electric motor drive system
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11918798B2) discloses a total artificial heart system comprising at least one artificial ventricle coupled to a pulmonary artery, blood vessel, or heart chamber, and a drive system with an electric motor causing the ventricle to contract and expand. The system includes a unique drive system with a rotorcam, cam follower, and stator assembly, where the expansion of the ventricle is inversely proportional to the rotational speed of the rotorcam. Additionally, the system can include a right and left artificial ventricle, each with its own drive system comprising implanted electric motors and external power supplies.
Furthermore, the patent details additional features such as diaphragms separating the ventricles from the drive system, an electronic device for monitoring system activity, and communication modules for wireless data transmission. The system also includes advanced components like proximity sensors, pressure sensors, and specific rotorcam configurations. The method for calibrating the system involves adjusting the electrical current to the motor based on Hall sensor readings. Overall, the patent highlights a sophisticated total artificial heart system with innovative drive mechanisms and monitoring capabilities, offering potential advancements in cardiac care technology.
