“…In our experience (3,4,5), the valves (mechanical, biological, or polyurethane) are the most expensive part of a VAD, and this significantly increases the final cost of the device. Replacing these types of valves with nondisposable clip valves located over the input and output cannulae could simplify the design and reduce the final cost of the disposable part of VADs.…”

We propose a new, low-cost pulsatile ventricular assist device (VAD) for short-term applications. The new device could prove very useful in emergency ventricular failure in which patient survival is not assured. In these cases, the device allows ventricular function to be maintained as the patient's situation is evaluated and a decision is made on whether to perform a heart transplant or to replace the device with a long-term VAD. The device has a pneumatic tubular blood chamber, clip valves over the cannulae, and a compliant input chamber that improves filling of the pump. Clip valves and all other functions of the device are controlled by means of a computerized console. The use of clip valves reduces the cost of the disposable part of the device.

We propose a new vacuum-driven blood pump having a tubular shape with active valves. This design avoids any possible problems caused by membrane breakage, thereby minimizing the risk of gas embolic events and stagnation regions. By using active valves, it is possible to ensure better flow control and minimize pressure gradients inside and outside the pump. The low cost of the pump's disposable parts enables it to be used for such applications as a ventricular assist device, a pulsatile pump device in extracorporeal circulation, a pump in hemodialysis and apheresis circuits, and a pump in extracorporeal membrane oxygenator systems.
