Abstract: The present disclosure provides for methods and systems for determining heart rate of a patient. Based on motor current signals of a ventricular assist device (VAD), each of first, second and third events in the measured current signal may be detected, the first event being indicative of a rise or fall in the current signal, the second event being indicative of a rise or fall in the current signal in the opposite direction as the first event, and the third event being indicative of a rise or fall in the current signal in the same direction as the first event. A timer counter may be initiated upon detection of the first event, and an elapsed time may be measured upon detection of the third event. Heart rate may be determined based on the elapsed time of the timer counter.

Abstract: A method of operating an implantable blood pump having a first stator, a second stator, and an impeller movably disposed there between. The method includes applying a first voltage waveform at first phase to the first stator to generate a magnetic field to rotate the impeller. A second voltage waveform is applied at a second phase shifted from the first phase to the second stator to rotate the impeller, the second voltage waveform is asymmetric to the first voltage waveform.

Abstract: A ventricular assist system including an implantable rotary pump, a pump drive circuit for supplying power to the pump, and a signal processing circuit receiving one or more electrophysiological signals and one or more physiological signals of the subject. The signal processing circuit is operable to receive inputs from the one or more electrophysiological sensors and the physiological sensor, and determine the presence or absence of a non-normal sinus cardiac rhythm condition based on the input from the electrophysiological sensors. In the presence of a non-normal sinus rhythm, the circuit operates the pump in a modified mode of operation. In the absence of a non-normal sinus rhythm, the circuit operates the pump in a normal mode of operation. In either case, the circuit controls the power to the pump and/or speed of the pump based on the input from the physiological sensor and the mode of operation.

Abstract: A method of determining a heart rate of a patient having an implanted blood pump including applying a voltage to a plurality of coils of a stator of the blood pump to produce an electromagnetic force to rotate a rotor in communication with the plurality of coils; displaying a waveform associated with a back electromotive force in the plurality of coils of the blood pump, the waveform being proportional to an axial position of the rotor relative to the stator; determining a time interval between a first alteration in the waveform relative to a baseline and a second alteration in the waveform relative to the baseline; and determining the heart rate of the patient based on the time interval.

Abstract: A method of controlling a blood pump having a predefined hydraulic performance including at least from the group consisting of estimating and measuring an instantaneous flow rate during operation of the blood pump at a predetermined rotational speed of an impeller of the blood pump, the instantaneous flow rate including a plurality of flow rate data points. The plurality of flow rate data points define a trajectory around at least one from the group consisting of an operational point of a predefined pressure-flow curve associated with the predetermined rotational speed of the impeller of the blood pump and a target operational point of a target pressure-flow curve different than the predefined pressure-flow curve. The predetermined rotational speed of the impeller is adjusted until the plurality of flow rate data points define a predetermined trajectory around at least one of the operational point and the target operational point.

Abstract: A flow rate of blood through an implantable blood pump is determined based on a parameter related to the flow, such as a parameter related to thrust on the rotor of the pump. An amount of current supplied to the pump is used to determine each of a first flow rate value and second flow rate values. Each of the first and second flow rate values, in combination with the parameter related to thrust on the rotor of the pump, are used to calculate a flow rate of blood through the pump.

Abstract: The present invention relates to kits and methods for calibrating a pump through performance of a thermal knockdown process including demagnetization of an impeller of the pump where the impeller is separate from the pump. By heat treating the impeller, a property of magnetic interaction of the pump is reduced in a repeatable manner. A kit includes a pump with impeller, a controller and an oven. The method generally involves an iterative process of testing the pump for a property related to magnetic interaction of the elements of the pump, removing the impeller from the pump, heating the impeller under controlled conditions, then placing the impeller back into the pump to repeat the test performed initially.
