A small size and lightweight motor-driven pulsatile LVAD using a ball screw has been developed. The motor-driven LVAD consists of a brushless DC motor and a ball-screw. The ball screw converts rotational motion of the motor into rectilinear motion of the pusher plate. The magnetic force between the tiny magnets on the pusher plate and the iron plate adhered on the pump diaphragm provides an active filling operation during the pump filling phase. The pump has a stroke volume of 55 ml, the whole volume of 285 ml and it weighs 360 g. The controller employs the fuzzy logic position and velocity control so that the LVAD experts’ experience could be used in the design of the controller. The LVAD was evaluated in the in-vitro experiments using the mock circulation. Maximum pump outflow of 5.1 l/min was obtained at the drive rate of 100 bpm against an afterload of 100 mmHg, and the active filling mechanism using the magnetic force provided a pump output of 3.6 l/min at a drive rate of 75 bpm under a preload of 0 mmHg. The operating efficiency of the LVAD was established to be measured between 8 and10%.
