Blood circulation system
Disclosed is an artificial heart and lung apparatus (100) that can be connected to a patient (P), and transfers removed blood to a human body via a roller pump (120), the system including: the roller pump (120); a blood removal line (101) which transfers removed blood to the roller pump (120); a first blood transfer line (104) that transfers blood, which is transferred from the roller pump (120), to the human body; a blood removal rate sensor (111) that is provided in the blood removal line (101); and a control unit (140), in which the control unit (140) performs control such that a blood transfer rate of the roller pump (120) is in a specific range with respect to a blood removal rate measured by a blood removal rate sensor (111).
AUTOMATED DELIVERY OF MEDICAL DEVICE SUPPORT SOFTWARE
Embodiments of the present invention include a portable medical device with an integrated web server. The portable medical device is configured to establish a communication session with a user device. The integrated web server is configured to load software onto the user computing device for exchanging data with the portable medical device.
Blood circulation system
The preset invention discloses an artificial heart and lung apparatus (100) including a roller pump (120); a blood removal line (101); a first blood transfer line (104); a blood removal rate sensor (111) and a control unit (140) that performs linked control of the roller pump (120) in correspondence with a blood removal rate. The control unit (140) is capable of detecting that the blood removal rate deviates from a blood removal condition set in advance, and out-of-set condition blood removal is performed.

Blood circulation system
An artificial heart and lung apparatus includes a roller pump; a blood removal line; a first blood transfer line; a blood removal rate sensor; a control unit that performs the linked control of the roller pump in correspondence with a blood removal rate; and a blood transfer rate adjustment unit that instructs the roller pump to transfer a blood transfer rate. The blood transfer rate adjustment unit includes an operation amount input unit to which an operation amount from an arbitrary circumferential position can be input, and which outputs a pulse signal according to the input operation amount. A counter adds and subtracts pulse signals output from the operation amount input unit, and outputs a resultant as blood transfer rate adjustment data. The counter performs a counting operation with respect to the circumferential position of the operation amount input unit when blood transfer control transitions to the normal control.
TUBE SET AND TUBE PUMP PROVIDED WITH SAME
Provided is a tube set which is capable of easily determining whether a holder has been mounted when the holder is mounted on a housing. The tube set, which is provided in a tube pump that feeds a liquid, includes a pump tube and a holder. The holder has a flexible flat plate and includes first engagement portion and second engagement portions that arc located away from each other in a first direction. The first engagement portion and second engagement portions are configured to be fitted into first engagement groove and second engagement grooves formed in the housing, respectively, when the holder is pushed into the housing in a state of being bent in a thickness direction. The holder is elastically restored to be attached to the housing when the first engagement portion and the second engagement portions are fitted into the respective first engagement groove and the second engagement grooves, respectively. The holder has a flexural modulus of 500 MPa or more and 3500 MPa or less.
Blood pump
The present invention relates to a blood pump. The blood pump according to the present invention includes: a housing including an inlet, through which blood flows, at an upper part of the housing and an outlet, through which the blood is discharged, along an edge of the housing; an impeller part, which is rotatable and disposed inside the housing, including a plurality of blades on the surface thereof so as to move the blood flowing in through the inlet toward the outlet by using a centrifugal force; a rotary shaft member disposed to penetrate the center part of the impeller part so as to support the impeller part to be rotatable which moves the blood to the lower part thereof; and a magnetic body disposed on the impeller part for rotating the impeller part in a predetermined direction according to a change in a magnetic field outside the housing.
Malleable cannula
A malleable cannula. The malleable cannula includes a polymeric jacket and a malleable member. The malleable member, being surrounded by the jacket, includes a proximal end, a distal end, and a lumen extending therebetween and along a lengthwise axis of the malleable cannula. The malleable member further includes a longitudinal strut that is parallel to the lengthwise axis and a plurality of transverse struts coupled to and extending laterally away from the longitudinal strut and at least a portion of the lumen. The malleable member is configured to assume and maintain a shape of the malleable cannula.
BLOOD PUMP SYSTEMS AND METHODS
A blood pump system for persistently increasing the overall diameter and lumen diameter of peripheral veins and arteries by persistently increasing the speed of blood and the wall shear stress in a peripheral vein or artery for a period of time sufficient to result in a persistent increase in the overall diameter and lumen diameter of the vessel is provided. The blood pump system includes a blood pump, blood conduit(s), a control system with optional sensors, and a power source. The pump system is configured to connect to the vascular system in a patient and pump blood at a desired rate and pulsatility. The pumping of blood is monitored and adjusted, as necessary, to maintain the desired elevated blood speed, wall shear stress, and desired pulsatility in the target vessel to optimize the rate and extent of persistent increase in the overall diameter and lumen diameter of the target vessel.
MICROFLUIDIC REMOVAL OF EXCESS BILIRUBIN FROM BLOOD
A microfluidic photoreactor for treating excess bilirubin in blood, having: a microfluidic channel module; an illumination module comprising one or more illumination sources disposed about the microfluidic channel module and configured to illuminate blood passing through at least one microfluidic channel of the microfluidic channel module; and a heat exchanger module coupled to the at least one microfluidic channel module, wherein the heat exchanger module is configured to extract heat from the at least one microfluidic channel. A system including a microfluidic photoreactor and a method of treating excess bilirubin in blood.
