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.
