Controller Design for Ventricular Assist Devices
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, an integrated model of the human circulatory system with a brushless DC axial flow ventricular assist device (VAD) was developed. The resulting nonlinear hybrid model is then used to design the VAD feedback control system. The VAD controller is designed to maintain a physiologically motivated perfusion; it is tested using computer simulations of different scenarios ranging from the normal heart to the left heart asystole.

Design an Equivalent Left Ventricular Assist Device for Medical Equipment Labs
LVAD is a mechanical pump supporting a weak heart function and blood flow. Sometimes, the heart may not recover fast enough to take over the pumping action immediately after surgery, in such patients a temporary support device has been employed to maintain the pumping action until the patient’s own heart recovers. This device can be considered as a temporary alternative before the process of ar...

Physiological control of a left ventricle assist device (LVAD) is generally a complicated task due to diverse operating environments and patient variability. In this work, a tracking control algorithm based on sliding mode and feed forward control for a class of discrete-time single input single output (SISO) nonlinear uncertain systems is presented. The controller was developed to track the re...

A simple fault detection algorithm was designed to monitor the purge pump operation of a rotary type ventricular assist device (AB-180 Circulatory Support System [AB-180 CSS], CardiacAssist, Inc., Pittsburgh, PA, USA). This algorithm receives the fluid pressure of the purge system, calculates the pressure derivative, and then compares with the preset thresholds to detect potential abnormal cond...
