Using one chip microcontroller 87Cl96 (On chip EPROM type) and EPLD (Erasable & Programable Logic Device), an implantable control system to drive pendulum type electromechanical total artificial heart was developed. This control system consists of 4 parts, main management system, motor driver with power regulator, state monitoring system and communication part. The main system has the functions for speed detection, PI(proportional and integration) control, PWM generation, communication and analog data processor. Two kinds of power system were used and separated by 8 photo coupler arrays to improve the system stability. The performances of each compartments were compared with our previous z80 microprocessor based control system and good correspondences was shown. Logic power consumption was reduced to a one third of our previous controller. Using mock circulation tests, the overall performances of control system are evaluated.

The removal of impulsive noise terms which occur in interventricular pressure (IVP) signals of a Korean-type total artificial heart is essential for estimation of atrial pressure change. We compared various order statistic filters and conclude that median filter with sidelength L = 1 is the most appropriate filter for IVP signals in the perspectives of operation cost, detail preserving (peak value), and waveform.

DTET(Dual Transcutaneous Energy Transmission System) is the stable power transferring unit for TAH(Total Artificial Heart) which uses more power than any other artificial organ. It has better efficiency and safety than an ordinary single TET. By reducing the load, it can reduce the change of supplying current for each single TET and it causes the lower change of efficiency. The increment of magnetic flux in coils enables delivering power through thick skin. It can enable internal batteries remove when will be used in a failure of TET, for a lithium ion battery has heavier weight than TET. A DTET should be studied the effect between each coils that generate magnetic flux. It should be compared the advantage with the weakness when it is used.

In the development of the totally implantable artificial heart (TAH), the information of the preload condition is important to ind appropriate condition or the automatic control of the heart. Our TAH configuration consists of two artificial ventricles, and brushless DC motor within actuator. The pressure between ventricles could indicate the preload condition during the TAH operation. If we can measure accurately inspite of the noise induced from TAH and environmental condition. We suggested integrating a feedback loop to remove an unexpected DC drift. NPI 19-series Nova sensor was used which could measure pressure in gas and liquid. This method and sensor enabled us to develop the pressure transducer compact so (that) the systems can be implanted with TAH into patient. This system has been verified in vitro and in vivo test. This results showed that the output waveform of this system was stable irrespective of animal condition.

새로운 형태의 인공심장용 전동기구동형 혈액동기구동행 혈액 펌프플 개발하였다. 개발된 혈액 펌프는 소형, 고출력, 브러쉬 없는 직류 전동기를 에너지 변환 장치로 사용하였으며, 이 전동기 자체가 원호 형태의 궤적을 따라 좌우로 회전하도록 고안되었으며, 전동기를 포함한 '회전원통'의 웅직임이 좌우에 부착되어 있는 폴리우레탄으로 제작된 혈액 주머니를 번갈아 밀게 되어 혈액을 박출하게 된다. 본 연구에서 도입한 이동형 작동기 원리에 의해 다른 전동기 구동형 혈액 펌프가 안고 있는 두가지의 중요한 문제점인 펌프 크기의 증가와 자연 심장과의 해부학적인 구조상 접합의 문제점들을 개선할 수 있었다. 또한 펌프의 효율과 전동기에 의한 시스템의 온도 상승, 그러고 펌프 내에 유입되는 유체에 대한 이론적 해석을 실시하였으며, 일련의 모의 순환 실험을 통해 실험 결과를 비교하였다. 개발된 펌프 시스템은 이식형 완전 인공 심장으로 사용하기에 충분한 심박출량(9 L/m)과 전부하에 민감한 반응, 그리고 기계적인 안정도를 보여 주었다.

It is very useful to perform the surgery simulation before implanting TAH(Total Artificial Heart} in a patient. The space of chest and the shape of vessels are different from patient to patient. So, It is desirable to customize a TAH design to the anatomy structure of a patient. Several studies are performed to visualize and explain the 3D structure of heart. These studies are performed using 2-dimensional ref or mated images and simple measurement. Anatomy structure of a human heart is not so simple. It is 4dimensional structure ; 3-dimensional plus time, heart beating. 3-dimensional reconstruction schemes of medical images developed for about 10 years are usually categorized into two types of rendering technique ; surface rendering and volume rendering. Volume rendering is preferable in medical image processing field because this technique can be applied without considering the complexity of geometry and change of field of interest. The usable space in the chest of patient can be measured by 3D volume matching of patient trunk and TAH model. This space changes with time. In this research we have developed the 4-dimensional volume match program of patient and TAH model. 3-dimensional rendered set of volumes along time were used to simulate TAH fitting trial. The quantitative measurement from this simulation could be applied to customize TAH design.

Between January of 1980 and December of 1989, we are encountered 121 cases of Down syndrome here at Yonsei University Medical Center. of these being endocardial cushion defect, ventricular septal defect, tetralogy of Fallot, atrial septal defect, patent ductus arteriosus and complicated anomalies. The mean age was 1 month 2 years with the sexual division at 31 males and 29 females. Among these 60 patients, 10 of them were treated trough surgical management, 8 of them being open heart surgeries, the 8 open heart surgeries are broken down as follow: 4 total correction of ECD, 2 patch repair of VSD, 1 total correction of TOF, 1 patch repair of ASD secundum. Another 2 operative management are ligation of PDA and modified Blalock - Taussig shunt of TOF. Postoperatively all patients were weaned and extubated on an artificial ventilator without any respiratory complications, and were discharged without incident.

Using back electro-motive force(EMF) signals of a brushless DC motor, the sensorless micro-processor controlled drive system was developed. In this new commutation method, the manual pulses are used for relatively short accelerating phase and then the exact commutational positions are detected based upon the back emf signals. The hardware and software implementations with the experiment to compare the performance of the developed system with the, conventional system using hall effect sensors are included. By reducing the number of the required sensors in the artificial heart control system, the total reliability will be incresed.

Three-dimensional blood flow in the sac of the KTAH(Korean total artificial heart) is simulated using fluid-structure interaction model. The aim of this study is to delineate the three-dimensional unsteady-blood flow in the sac of KTAH. Incompressible viscous flow is assumed for blood using the assumption of Newtonian fluid. The numerical method employed in this study is the finite element software called ADINA. Fluid-structure interaction model between blood and sac is utilized to represent the deformation of the sac by the rigid moving actuator. Three-dimensional geometry of cactus type KTAH is chosen for numerical model with prescribed pressure boundary condition on the sac surface. Blood flow is generated by the motion of moving actuator and strongly interacts with the solid material surrounding blood. High shear stress is observed mainly near the inlet and outlet of the sac.

This paper deals with the difference of the static and kinetic thrust characteristics of a linear pulse motor(LPM) without and with feedback control for a total artificial heart(TAH). In general, the kinetic thrust of LPM without feedback control decreases as increasing the mover velocity. The kinetic thrust characteristics of the LPM with feedback control are improved approximately 30% as compared with the LPM without feedback control in the high velocity range.
