Abstract

Systems and methods for generating blood flow with a blood pump including a membrane and an encapsulated actuator are described. The pump may be implantable and may include a stator assembly, an electromagnetic assembly supported by the stator assembly, a magnetic assembly, one or more springs attached to the stator and the magnetic assembly, and encapsulation portions that connect the magnetic assembly to the stator assembly. The magnetic assembly may further be coupled to a membrane assembly including a flexible membrane. The electromagnetic assembly may be selectively activated to cause the magnetic assembly to reciprocate, thereby causing the membrane assembly to reciprocate and inducing wavelike undulations in the flexible membrane to pump blood from an inlet to an outlet of the pump. The encapsulation portions may prevent blood from interacting with an interior moving portion of the pump thereby reducing the risk of hemolysis.

Claims (29)

1. A blood pump system comprising:

a housing having an inlet and an outlet configured to be in fluid communication with a patient's circulatory system;

a membrane disposed within the housing;

an electromagnetic coil disposed within the housing, the electromagnetic coil configured to cause the membrane to reciprocate to pump blood;

a moving magnetic portion configured to extend around and to move with respect to the electromagnetic coil; and

a top and bottom encapsulator coupled to the moving magnet portion and configured to obstruct blood flow between the electromagnetic coil and the moving magnet portion such that the blood does not contact the electromagnetic coil and the moving magnet portion, the top and bottom encapsulator disposed within the housing and configured to define a blood flow channel between the housing and the top and bottom encapsulator,

wherein, during operation, blood enters the inlet, flow between the housing and the top and bottom encapsulator in the blood flow channel, and is propelled across the membrane to the outlet to pump the blood.

2. The blood pump system of claim 1 , wherein the electromagnetic coil is disposed between an upper stator portion and a lower stator portion.

3. The blood pump system of claim 2 , further comprising at least one spring coupled to the upper stator portion wherein the at least one spring and the top encapsulator apply a spring force on the moving magnet portion.

4. The blood pump system of claim 1 , wherein the moving magnet portion is annular.

5. The blood pump system of claim 1 , wherein the top and bottom encapsulator inhibit damage to the blood due to shear conditions.

6. The blood pump system of claim 1 , wherein the blood flow channel inhibits damage to von Willebrand Factor multimers in the blood.

7. The blood pump system of claim 1 , wherein the blood flow channel is sized and configured to facilitate blood flow towards the outlet and resist blood flow towards the inlet.

8. The blood pump system of claim 1 , wherein the flow channel is sized and configured to inhibit shear conditions of the blood in the blood flow channel and to inhibit recirculation of the blood in the blood flow channel.

9. The blood pump system of claim 1 , further comprising an encapsulation fluid disposed between the top and bottom encapsulator and the actuator assembly electromagnetic coil.

10. The blood pump system of claim 9 , wherein the encapsulation fluid is a perfluorocarbon.

11. The blood pump system of claim 9 , wherein the encapsulation fluid is selected from one of silicone oil, saline, deionized water, or perfluorodecalin.

12. The blood pump system of claim 1 , wherein:

the electromagnetic coil is disposed between an upper stator portion and a lower stator portion,

the top encapsulator is coupled to the top stator portion and the magnetic assembly,

the bottom encapsulator is coupled to the bottom stator portion and the magnetic assembly,

the membrane is flexible,

the electromagnetic coil is configured to generate a magnetic field, and

the moving magnet portion is configured to reciprocate responsive to the magnetic field and cause the membrane to reciprocate responsive to the moving magnet portion.

13. The blood pump system of claim 12 , wherein the moving magnet portion comprises a Halbach array.

14. The blood pump system of claim 12 , further comprising at least one spring coupled to the moving magnet portion assembly and the upper stator portion assembly.

15. The blood pump system of claim 12 , further comprising encapsulation fluid, wherein the encapsulation fluid is disposed between the top and bottom encapsulator, the moving magnet portion assembly, and the electromagnetic coil actuator assembly.

16. The blood pump system of claim 15 , wherein the blood flow channel is configured to inhibit recirculation of the blood.

17. The blood pump system of claim 12 , wherein the blood flow channel is sized and configured to facilitate blood flow towards the outlet and resist blood flow towards the inlet.
