Cardiac output support apparatus with diaphragm and compression balloons
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11980751B2) discloses a cardiac output support apparatus designed to assist the heart's pumping function. The apparatus includes a diaphragm made of a flexible membrane that conforms to the lower heart part of a person, compression balloons positioned opposite the heart's atriums and ventricles, an air pressure actuator to inflate the diaphragm, and left and right actuators to fill and release fluid from the compression balloons. The apparatus is inserted into the chest, covering the lower heart part, and assists in pumping blood by alternately expanding and contracting the compression balloons.
Furthermore, the patent details the materials used in the apparatus, with the diaphragm and compression balloons made of flexible and non-pliable materials. The left and right actuators can adjust the cardiac output and cycle based on the person's pulse rate and oxygen saturation levels. Additionally, the apparatus can be customized based on the individual's heart condition, with the ability to control each compression balloon independently. The apparatus also includes components like a servo motor and air compression tank for the air pressure actuator, and servo motors and water-filled cylinders for the left and right actuators, enhancing its functionality and adaptability for different users.
