A study on the development of motor-driven artificial heart and its control

A new type of motor-driven Total Artificial Heart (TAH) system with rolling-ball mechanism has been developed. To test its performance as a Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD), LVAD is controlled to bypass blood for impaired heart triggered by the R-wave in ECG. Results of the test with a Mock Circulation System (MCS) and an animal experiment with a dog are also included. More powerful system using a brushless DC motor has been developed and its control scheme is represented.
