    摘要: Systems and methods for detecting suction events in blood pumps by monitoring pump motor current. A pump suction event is detected based on a comparison of a pulsatility index that is calculated based on a filtered pump motor current signal with a first predetermined threshold or based on a comparison of a calculated index associated with a normalized band-pass filtered pump motor current signal with a second predetermined threshold. A suction event is also detected based on comparisons of both the calculated pulsatility index and the calculated index associated with the normalized band-pass filtered pump motor current signal with respective first and second predetermined thresholds.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus for estimating maximum flow for a heart pump are described. The method comprises receiving data relating motor current to differential pressure measured for a predetermined speed of a motor of the heart pump, extrapolating based on the received data, a first value for the motor current at which the differential pressure is zero, and determining a maximum flow value through the heart pump at the predetermined speed of the motor of the heart pump based, at least in part, on the first value for the motor current.
