    摘要: A pump for pumping sensitive fluids, such as blood, having no mechanical contact between the impeller and any other structure. The pump comprises a pump housing, an impeller disposed within the pump housing, a magnetic bearing system for supporting and stabilizing the impeller in five degrees of freedom, and a conformally shaped magnetically linked motor for rotating the impeller. The magnetic bearing system and motor advantageously comprise electromagnets and permanent magnets for stability and control of the impeller, and to reduce size, weight, and pump power consumption. Permanent and electromagnets are disposed on the pump housing and permanent magnets are disposed on the impeller such that by controlling electric current through the electromagnets on the housing, the magnetically suspended impeller functions as the rotor, and the housing as the stator of a D.C. motor. The system advantageously allows for sensing of relative impeller position and dynamic properties without the need for additional sensors. The fluid inlet, pump impeller, housing, and other components are configured such that flow patterns are as smooth and laminar as possible to reduce damage to the fluid, and such that eddies, flow separation, and re-circulation are reduced. In various embodiments, the pump is suitable for short or long-term implantation as a ventricular assist device or as a complete replacement heart in a human patient.

    摘要: An accessory holding device for a ladder assembly includes a body member and at least one mounting member. The body member includes a primary compartment and a plurality of secondary compartments integrally configured with the primary compartment such that the primary compartment is disposed between a first compartment and a second compartment of the plurality of secondary compartments. The primary compartment and the plurality of secondary compartments of the body member are capable of receiving accessories therein. Further, the at least one mounting member adjustably coupled to one of the primary compartments and the plurality of secondary compartments of the body member. The at least one mounting member is capable of removably mounting the body member to the ladder assembly for holding the accessories.
