Abstract
We have built a new compact control drive unit (CDU) which can be used for a ventricular assist system (VAS) or intraaortic balloon pumping (IABP). This CDU has an installed air compressor, a vacuum unit, a battery, full alarm and backup systems, an automatic level control of flow and atrial pressure for VAS, and a full-fill to full-empty drive mode controlled by air flow. This CDU exhibited satisfactory and stable performance in mock circulation, animal studies and clinical cases. This new compact CDU is thought to be useful in clinical setting.
