Abstract
The existing artificial heart air driving system is utilizing a stationary air compressor and a vacuum pump, so the moving area of the patient is restricted within a rather small region. To get rid of this limitation, we made up a compact air driving system making use of a rotary compressor which is rotated forward and reverse direction alternately by a D. C. motor. Next we performed an in vitro test using a mock circuit. Then it is shown that this driving system is usable in place of the existing system without any problems.
