Abstract
We have developed a totally implantable assist pump system; a motor-driven assist pump [1–3] and a transcutaneous energy and optical information transmission system [3–5]. In vitro tests showed adequate hemodynamic performance and high actuator efficiency. In this study, we tested the endurance of the motor-driven assist pump in vitro to demonstrate its durability and reliability.
