    Abstract: An implantable fluid operated device may include a fluid reservoir configured to hold fluid, an inflatable member, and an electronic fluid control system to transfer fluid between the fluid reservoir and the inflatable member. The fluid control system includes at least one pump and at least one valve including a piezoelectric actuator. The piezoelectric actuator includes a diaphragm, and a piezoelectric element coupled to the diaphragm. The piezoelectric element deforms in response to a voltage applied by an electronic control system of the fluid control system. The diaphragm deforms in response to deformation of the piezoelectric element. The piezoelectric actuator actuates the at least one pump and at least one valve to control a flow of fluid based on one of an amount of deformation or a direction of the deformation of the diaphragm.

    Abstract: According to an aspect, an implantable device includes a fluid reservoir configured to be implanted in a body of a patient at a first location, an inflatable member configured to be implanted in the body of the patient at a second location, and a pump assembly configured to be implanted in the body of the patient at a third location. The pump assembly is configured to transfer fluid from the fluid reservoir to the inflatable member in response to the implantable device being in an inflation mode, and the pump assembly configured to transfer the fluid from the inflatable member to the fluid reservoir in response to the implantable device being in a deflation mode. The pump assembly includes an electronic control module, an electronically powered pump, a first valve, and a second valve. The electronic control module is configured to activate or deactivate the electronically powered pump.
