  • Method and apparatus for monitoring and optimizing blood circulation generated by a pump
    Patent number: 9259521
    Abstract: In a device for the automatic control of blood pumps, an optimization of the blood flow is achieved by periodic speed interventions and flow changes thereby occurring, using a formed differential variable and a control algorithm. In addition, the location of possible flow resistances on the venous or arterial side can be ascertained.
    Type: Grant
