Multiflow Roller Pump Module

چکیده
Pump failures are an inherent problem associated with the operation of a heart lung machine. This report details the observation and identification of an unusual modular pump failure. Pump stoppage occurred intermittently over a period of two months with two separate Stockert/Shiley Computer Aided Perfusion System (CAPS) consoles. The mechanism was identified as a static discharge transferred to the module by a perfusion record clipboard. Electrical testing revealed that all modules could be stopped with a simulated static charge between 2 kilovolts (kV) and 25 kV. A sub-normal relative humidity in the operating room was a contributing factor but did not eliminate the problem when levels were returned to normal. Clinical engineering test results were forwarded to the manufacturer with recommendations. Preventive measures by this institution were adopted to reduce static discharge failure.

History of extracorporeal circulation: the invention and modification of blood pumps.
The first roller pump was patented in 1855 by Porter and Bradley and was hand operated. A modification first named "surgical pump", designed and manufactured by E. E. Allen in 1887, was intended for direct blood transfusion. Truax, who also distributed and promoted the Allen pump with one roller, developed the first double roller pump in 1899. In the following decades, several researchers, incl...
متن کاملSignificant safety advantages gained with an improved pressure-regulated blood pump.
A prototype of a non-occlusive pressure-regulated blood pump (M-pump) was evaluated in-vitro for safety in a comparative study with the roller and centrifugal pumps. The M-pump consists of collapsible tubing of unique design wrapped under tension around a rotor without a stator. The prototype M-pumps were tested in vitro to evaluate performance with respect to flow/ pressure characteristics, he...
متن کاملA comparison of the benefits of roller pump versus constrained vortex pump in adult open-heart operations utilizing outcomes research.
The purpose of this study was to compare roller pump and centrifugal pump technologies in routine adult open-heart operations to demonstrate the usefulness of applying a proven method of uniform risk stratification (outcomes research). Objective and readily available preoperative patient data was collected retrospectively on 102 non-randomized and consecutive adult open-heart operations. Group ...
متن کاملProinflammatory mediator response in coronary bypass surgery using a centrifugal or a roller pump.
Major surgery, trauma, and infection induce a proinflammatory mediator response which, if excessive, may cause tissue injury. The response was measured during elective coronary bypass surgery when a centrifugal pump or a roller pump, differing in their basic working principles, was used for extracorporeal circulation (ECC). Eight patients were perfused with a centrifugal pump and eight patients...
متن کاملBlood flow and damage by the roller pumps during cardiopulmonary bypass
Although much CFD work has been carried out to study the blood damage created in a centrifugal pump used for a cardiopulmonary bypass, little is known about the blood flow and consequent damage in a roller pump. A timedependent moving boundary problem is solved in this paper to explore the blood flow and damage in the roller pump. An initial attempt to predict the blood damage from these simula...
