Abstract

We have developed a ground-isolation circuit in order to reduce the noise of the internal controller system for the total artificial heart(TAH) and ventricular assist device(VAD). Using the ground-isolation technique, we could transmit the analog target signal to other pheriperal device including IBM PC via RS232C and polygraph, with no noise. Experimental results of VAD showed that there was less impulsive noise in current signal which caused in our previous conventional system. Therefore it could be proved that implementation of isolation technique is very effective to improve the signal to noise ratios of analog signal transmission for TAH or VAD.
