    摘要: A pump, such as a blood pump, includes a pump chamber with a wall and a fluid connection between an inlet and an outlet, along with an impeller, a motor stator, and a control coil arranged on the pump chamber for exerting, together with first rotor magnets, a controllable axial force on the rotor. A control unit provides a control current for the control coil, in order to hold the rotor in a position which is spaced apart axially from the wall of the pump chamber. A first chamber magnet is arranged close to the winding of the control coil and opposite the first rotor magnet, in order to provide, together with the first rotor magnet, a force between the first rotor magnet and the first chamber magnet, and in order to orient the rotor relative to the wall of the pump chamber.

    摘要: An apparatus for locating and venting pathogen cells in blood. A cassette has a plurality of thin holding chambers that are filled with blood drawn from a patient. A light source illuminates each of the holding chambers and passes light to an underlying sensor array such that the cells in the blood produce shadow images of the cells in the sensor array. A processor performs pattern recognition to identify and locate the pathogen cells by use of an image library. After the pathogen cells are located, a pump is operated to move the identified cells to a processing zone. When each identified cell reaches the processing zone, a control voltage is generated to open a valve to vent the identified pathogen cells. The pump refills the cassette holding chambers, returns the processed blood to the patient, and the procedure is repeated for a treatment time period.

    摘要: A disclosed apparatus or method can include or use a non-transluminally implantable blood pump housing, which can be sized and shaped to be implanted at an aortic valve of a human subject, the pump housing can include: a pump housing cross-sectional profile size that is larger than is passable via a blood vessel of the human subject; and a power connection, configured for being electrically connected to an intravascular lead that is sized and shaped to extend from the pump housing through a subclavian artery of the human subject.
