A pumping assembly includes a flexible tube extending along a longitudinal axis. The flexible tube defines an internal cavity extending along the longitudinal axis. The internal cavity is configured to contain a fluid disposed therein, wherein the fluid is a liquid and/or a gas. A plurality of ferromagnetic or magnetic particles are disposed within at least a portion of a thickness of the flexible tube. The plurality of ferromagnetic or magnetic particles are also disposed extending along the longitudinal axis. A plurality of electromagnets are placed in series adjacent to one another. The flexible tube is disposed adjacent to the plurality of electromagnets. A controller is configured to selectively magnetize at least one electromagnet from the plurality of electromagnets in a progression along the plurality of electromagnets, thereby compressing the tubing in a progression being a pumping action. A power source is electrically connected to the controller.

Defining proximal as toward the heart and distal as away from the heart, a sheath includes a proximal opening and multiple fenestrations maintainable in position slightly beyond a site or point of sheath entry into a vessel by way of an anchoring assembly having a set of radially displaceable anchoring elements configured for abutting a superficial vessel wall. The fenestrations and/or anchoring element(s) are arranged obliquely or non-obliquely around peripheral portions of the sheath. The sheath can receive blood from a pumping source at a proximal opening, and channel the blood toward, to, and through the fenestrations. The fenestrations, in combination with the proximal opening, enable the perfusion of blood into the cannulated vessel in a set of distal directions for perfusing a distal tissue or organ. Flow of blood out of fenestrations directs blood distally towards the limb, head, or other distal region, mitigating the risk of or preventing ischemia.

Provided is a chamber configuration for a reverse flow centrifuge, and a reverse flow centrifuge system configured for low fluid volume and small radius rotation. The compact reverse flow centrifuge system has a reusable subsystem and a single use replaceable subsystem. The replaceable subsystem comprises a separation chamber, fluid delivery manifold and rotational mounting connecting the separation chamber to the fluid manifold. The single use replaceable subsystem provides a closed environment for execution of reverse flow centrifugation processes. The separation chamber has a substantially conical fluid enclosure portion connected to a neck portion, and a dip tube extends centrally through the conical fluid enclosure to provide a fluid path to the tip of the conical fluid enclosure.

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.

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).
