Summary
An automatic control algorithm for the moving-actuator type total artificial heart (TAH) was developed based on motor current waveform analysis. Instead of using relatively complicated analysis of the instantaneous waveform, a simple method was used and very favorable characteristics in output response were achieved. In vitro mock circulation tests and two animal implantations were performed to evaluate the developed algorithm. The animals survived for 3 and 4 days with the operation of the developed algorithm and the hemodynamic parameters were shown to be well regulated within a physiological range.
