摘要: An implantable fluid operated device may include a fluid reservoir configured to hold fluid, an inflatable member, and a pump assembly configured to transfer fluid between the fluid reservoir and the inflatable member. The pump assembly may include one or more fluid pumps and one or more valves. An electronic control system may control operation of the pump assembly based on fluid pressure measurements and/or fluid flow measurements received from the one or more sensing devices. The electronic control system may include an internal component installed with the implanted device, and an external component that is operable by a user to provide user input, and to receive output from the implanted device.

摘要: According to an aspect, an electronic pump assembly includes a pump configured to move fluid between from or to a fluid reservoir of a device. The pump includes a passive valve. The electronic pump assembly includes a controller configured to actuate the pump and a flow modifier configured to restrict a flow of fluid entering or within the pump.

摘要: 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 or at least one valve including a piezoelectric actuator. The piezoelectric actuator can include a piezoelectric element that deforms in response to a voltage applied by an electronic control system of the fluid control system, and a diaphragm that deforms in response to deformation of the piezoelectric element. An isolation layer may be coupled to the piezoelectric element to isolate the active piezoelectric element from non-active portions of the piezoelectric actuator.

摘要: According to an aspect, an inflatable penile prosthesis includes a fluid reservoir configured to hold fluid, an inflatable member, and an electronic pump assembly configured to transfer the fluid between the fluid reservoir and the inflatable member. The electronic pump assembly includes a pump, an active valve, a pressure sensor configured to measure a pressure of the inflatable member, and a controller configured to control at least one of the pump or the active valve based on the measured pressure.
