Abstract: An intravascular blood pump (1) comprises a pump casing (2) having a blood flow inlet (21) and a blood flow outlet (22), and an impeller (3) arranged in said pump casing (2) so as to be rotatable about an axis of rotation, wherein the impeller (3) has blades (31) sized and shaped for conveying blood from the blood flow inlet (21) to the blood flow outlet (22). The blood pump (1) further comprises a drive unit (104) for rotating the impeller (3), the drive unit (104) comprising a plurality of posts (140) arranged about the axis of rotation (10). Coil windings (47) around the posts are sequentially controllable so as to create a rotating magnetic field. The shaft portion (141) of each of the posts (140) comprises a soft magnetic material which is discontinuous in cross-section transverse to the longitudinal axis of the respective post (140).

Abstract: This invention concerns an intravascular blood pump for percutaneous insertion into a patient's blood vessel. The blood pump comprises a pump casing having a blood flow inlet and a blood flow outlet, an impeller arranged in said pump casing so as to be rotatable about an axis of rotation. The impeller has blades sized and shaped for conveying blood from the blood flow inlet to the blood flow outlet. The blood pump comprises a drive unit for rotating the impeller, the drive unit comprising a plurality of posts arranged about the axis of rotation and a back plate connecting rear ends of the parts, the posts and the back plate together forming a magnetic core of the drive unit. A coil winding is disposed around each of the posts. The coil windings are controllable so as to create a rotating magnetic field, wherein the impeller comprises a magnetic structure arranged to interact with the rotating magnetic field so as to cause rotation of the impeller. The magnetic core or a part of it comprises a discontinuous soft magnetic material which is discontinuous regarding electric conductivity in a cross-section, wherein at least one weld is provided at a surface of the discontinuous soft magnetic material. The weld bridges at least one discontinuity regarding electric conductivity in the discontinuous soft magnetic material. Further, the invention concerns a method of manufacturing the magnetic core.
