Abstract: 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. The one or more valves may be normally open valves, normally closed valves, or a combination thereof. One or more sensing devices may be positioned within fluid passageways of the fluid operated device. The 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. Variable voltage can be applied to the control of the pump and/or the valves based on varying atmospheric conditions and the fluid pressure and/or flow measurements processed by the electronic control system.

Abstract: An implantable fluid operated device includes a fluid control system to transfer fluid between a fluid reservoir and an inflatable member. The fluid control system includes at least one fluid control device including at least one pump and at least one valve, or at least one combination pump and valve device. The at least one fluid control device includes an auxiliary fluid control device that maintains a closed state of the valve in response to a fluctuation in pressure, or a pressure spike that would otherwise cause an unintentional opening of the fluid control device, and unintentional flow of fluid through the fluid control device.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: A device may include a base plate and a deformable diaphragm having a first surface, where the first surface includes a textured surface. The device may also include a fluid chamber defined between the base plate and the deformable diaphragm, with the fluid chamber being in fluidic connection with the fluid reservoir and with the inflatable member. The device may also include a piezoelectric element having a second surface, the first surface of the deformable diaphragm and the second surface of the piezoelectric element being adhesively attached, the piezoelectric element being operable to repeatedly change a volume of the fluid chamber by deforming the deformable diaphragm to pump fluid from the reservoir to the inflatable member.

Abstract: An implantable fluid operated device includes a fluid control system to transfer fluid between a fluid reservoir and an inflatable member. The fluid control system includes at least one fluid control device including at least one pump and at least one valve, or at least one combination pump and valve device. A seal is provided in the at least one fluid control device. In a first mode, the seal provides a seal between a fluid passageway and a fluid chamber of the fluid control device, to close the fluid control device. In a second mode, the seal is disengaged to open the fluid control device and allow fluid to flow between the fluid passageway and the fluid chamber. A seal retention device maintains a position of the seal when the fluid control device is open and fluid is flowing through the fluid control device.
