“…This could be accomplished by connecting their external wearable controller to a phone jack. 63 This electrohydraulically driven VAD combines the blood pump, displacement chamber, energy converter and internal electronic module into one unit. Intrathoracic implantation close to the lung ensures atmospheric pressure equalization, eliminating the need for percutaneous venting; moreover, shorter conduits will reduce hydraulic losses, risk of kinking and blood-biomaterial interaction.…”

“…The unit is powered and monitored/controlled via the energy and information transfer coils, which allow transcutaneous transfer of energy and information through intact skin and tissue, thus eliminating the need for percutaneous connections (17)(18)(19)(20)(21). The energy transfer system provides power to operate the VAD unit from a wearable external battery or other power source (automobile cigarette lighter, Household AC outlet, etc.).…”
