Appl. No.:

16/359501

Inventors:

- Miami Lakes FL, US

International Classification:

A61M 1/10
A61M 1/12

Abstract:

A method of responding to an adverse event associated with an implantable blood pump including detecting the adverse event, reducing a pump speed of the blood pump relative to a set pump speed in response to the detected adverse event, and determining whether at least one of a group consisting of the adverse event and a second adverse event is present following the reducing of the pump speed of the blood pump. If the at least one of the group consisting of the adverse event and a second adverse event is not present, the method includes increasing the pump speed to the set pump speed and if the at least one of the group consisting of the adverse event and a second adverse event is present while increasing the pump speed to the set pump speed, the method includes reducing the pump speed to a maximum safe operating speed.

International Classification:

A61B 5/029

A61B 5/00

Abstract:

The present disclosure provides for each of a method of characterizing divergence of a monitored flow rate of blood through an implantable blood pump, and a method of predicting an upcoming adverse cardiac event using operating data of the blood pump, such as the characterized divergence data. Predicting an upcoming adverse cardiac event may be further based on similar operating data from a plurality of other implantable blood pumps.

Appl. No.:

16/124944

Justin WOLMAN - Aventura FL, US
Carlos REYES - Davie FL, US
Antonio Luiz Silva FERREIRA - Davie FL, US

International Classification:

A61M 1/10
A61M 1/12

Abstract:

A flow rate of blood through an implantable blood pump is determined based on a parameter related to the flow, such as a parameter related to thrust on the rotor of the pump. An amount of current supplied to the pump is used to determine each of a first flow rate value and second flow rate values. Each of the first and second flow rate values, in combination with the parameter related to thrust on the rotor of the pump, are used to calculate a flow rate of blood through the pump.
