Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to develop diaphragm type pneumatic Left Ventricular Assist Device(LVAD) for clinical application and to evaluate its performance through the mock circulation and animal experiment. The blood housing and diaphragm are made by polyurethane. The relations of cardiac output us. beat rate and cardiac output vs. systolic-to-diastolic rate was estimated through the mock test and hemodynamic waves are recorded for the evaluation of VAD. We performed animal experiment and 4 animals survived more than 24hrs. As a result, the hemodynamic data and waves showed this system can be applicable to the animal experiment.
