International Classification:
F04B 1700
US Classification:
4174237, 41742312, 417356, 415900
Abstract:
An inventive blood pump in accordance with this invention includes a housing that has inlet and outlet ports for receiving and discharging blood. A rotor is positioned in the housings interior for pumping blood between the housings inlet and outlet ports, with the rotor being capable of motion in three translational and three rotational axes. An assembly for magnetically suspending and rotating the rotor in a contact-free manner with respect to the housing includes only one electromagnetic bearing that actively controls motion of the rotor with respect to one axis selected from the rotors three translational and three rotational axes, an electromagnetic motor that actively drives motion of the rotor with respect to one of its three rotational axes, and magnetic bearings for passively controlling motion of the rotor with respect to the remaining four of its translational and rotational axes. The inventive blood pump can also be incorporated into an artificial heart.

Magnetically Suspended Miniature Fluid Pump And Method Of Designing The Same

US Patent:
6447265, Sep 10, 2002
Filed:
Sep 20, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/398878
Inventors:
James F. Antaki - Allison Park PA
Bradley Paden - Santa Barbara CA
Gregory Burgreen - Pittsburgh PA
Nelson Groom - White Marsh VA
Assignee:
The University of Pittsburgh - Pittsburg PA
The United States of America as represented by the United States National Aeronautics and Space Administration - Washington DC
International Classification:
F04B 1700
US Classification:
417354, 417356, 4174231, 41742312, 415900
Abstract:
A rotary pump for pumping fluids through a patient having a housing with an internal region, a stator member and an impeller positioned within the housing and having impeller blades, wherein the impeller is magnetically suspended and rotated, and wherein the geometric configuration of the rotary pump is sized and proportioned to minimize stagnant and traumatic fluid flow within the rotary pump. The plurality of magnetic impeller blades are preferably rare earth, high-energy-density magnets selected from the group consisting of samarium cobalt and neodymium-iron-boron alloy.

Blood Pump Having A Magnetically Suspended Rotor

US Patent:
6447266, Sep 10, 2002
Filed:
Apr 24, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/841223
Inventors:
James F. Antaki - Allison Park PA
Bradley Paden - Santa Barbara CA
Gregory Burgreen - Pittsburgh PA
Nelson J. Groom - White Marsh VA
Assignee:
University of Pittsburgh - Pittsburgh PA
The United States of America as represented by the United States National Aeronautics and Space Administration - Washington DC
International Classification:
F04B 1700
US Classification:
417356, 604131
Abstract:
A blood pump preferably has a magnetically suspended rotor that rotates within a housing. The rotor may rotate about a stator disposed within the housing. Radial magnetic bearings may be defined within the stator and the rotor in order to suspend the rotor. The radial magnetic bearings may be passive magnetic bearings that include permanent magnets disposed within the stator and the rotor or active magnetic bearings. The pump may further include an axial magnetic bearing that may be either a passive or an active magnetic bearing. A motor that drives the rotor may be disposed within the housing in order to more easily dissipate heat generated by the motor. A primary flow path is defined between the rotor and the stator, and a secondary flow path is defined between the stator and the rotor. Preferably, a substantial majority of blood passes through the primary flow path. The secondary flow path is large enough so that it provides adequate flushing of the secondary flow path while being small enough to permit efficient operation of the radial magnet bearings across the secondary flow path.

Hard Or Soft Tissue Closure

US Patent:
6485504, Nov 26, 2002
Filed:
Jun 22, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/599775
Inventors:

John Andrew Holmes - Wexford PA
Assignee:
James A. Magovern - Pittsburgh PA
International Classification:
A61B 1704
US Classification:
606216, 606 72, 606233
Abstract:
An apparatus for holding a first portion of a bone and a second portion of a bone together for the bone to heal. A method for holding a first portion of a bone and a second portion of a bone together for the bone to heal. A suture. A grommet for a bone. A method for securing a suture through a bone.

Enhanced Harmonica

US Patent:
6635814, Oct 21, 2003
Filed:
Jan 28, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/058880
Inventors:
James F. Antaki - Pittsburgh PA, 15101
International Classification:
G01D 712
US Classification:
84377
Abstract:
Harmonica structures designed for enhancing harmonica play are disclosed. In one aspect, a reed comb is provided with a common bridge having reeds formed integrally therewith. The reed plate has a plurality of reed slots formed therein and is adapted to receive the reeds of the reed comb into corresponding slots formed in the reed plate. A stepped portion formed in the reed plate is adapted to receive a reed of the reed comb therein to permit substantial encasement of the reed within the reed slot. A key benefit of this arrangement is to resist leakage of air between the reed plate and the flanks of the reed during harmonica play. The reed plate can also include a first stepped portion upon which the roots of the reeds are positioned and a second stepped portion positioned adjacent to the tips of the reeds. Other structures are disclosed that include a radiused surface formed on a portion of the reed or on the surface of the reed slot in which the reed is positioned. A substantially wedge-shaped comb having angled top and bottom surfaces can also be provided.

Touch Down Of Blood Pump Impellers

US Patent:
6761532, Jul 13, 2004
Filed:

Assignee:
Vascor, Inc. - Pittsburgh PA
International Classification:
F04D 700
US Classification:
415900, 415200, 416170 R, 417 50
Abstract:
A blood pump having rotor and/or stator touch down zones to prevent pump failure or hemolysis which can occur if the rotor comes into contact with the stator due to power failure or mechanical shock. The touch down zones can include forming, or coating, portions of adjacent surfaces of the stator and rotor which can come into contact if a rotor touch down occurs. The materials used to form or coat the touch down zones can have properties which ensure that no consequential damage to the contacting surfaces occurs.

Low Profile Inlet For An Implantable Blood Pump

US Patent:
7338521, Mar 4, 2008
Filed:
Jun 13, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/171458
Inventors:
James F. Antaki - Pittsburgh PA, US
Jed C. Ludlow - North Salt Lake UT, US
Scott D. Miles - Sandy UT, US
Assignee:
World Heart, Inc. - Oakland CA
International Classification:
A61M 1/10
US Classification:
623 326, 4152081, 4174237, 604 611, 600 16
Abstract:
A low profile pump inlet for an implantable blood pump is disclosed. The low profile pump inlet has an inflow diffuser for attachment to a conduit bearing an inflow of a fluid such as blood and an outflow orifice in fluid connection with the diffuser. The outflow orifice is configured to direct the fluid from the diffuser into a pump such as an implantable blood pump. The low profile pump inlet helps to suppress the effects of upstream pipe bends on the blood traveling through the inlet. The inlet thus provides a flow having a substantially uniform velocity profile into the blood pump.
