A continuous-flow output mode of a rotary blood pump reduces the fluctuation range of arterial blood pressure and easily causes complications. For a centrifugal rotary blood pump, sinusoidal and pulsatile speed patterns are designed using the impeller speed modulation. This study aimed to analyze the hemodynamic characteristics and hemolysis of different speed patterns of a blood pump in patients with heart failure using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and the lumped parameter model (LPM). The results showed that the impeller with three speed patterns (including the constant speed pattern) met the normal blood demand of the human body. The pulsating flow generated by the impeller speed modulation effectively increased the maximum pulse pressure (PP) to 12.7 mm Hg, but the hemolysis index (HI) in the sinusoidal and pulsatile speed patterns was higher than that in the constant speed pattern, which was about 2.1 × 10−5. The flow path of the pulsating flow field in the spiral groove of the hydrodynamic suspension bearing was uniform, but the alternating high shear stress (0~157 Pa) was caused by the impeller speed modulation, causing blood damage. Therefore, the rational modulation of the impeller speed and the structural optimization of a blood pump are important for improving hydrodynamic characteristics and hemolysis.

In rotary blood pump recipients with low blood pressure pulsatility, current oscillometric methods to measure blood pressure are not applicable. The aim of this study was to use ultrasonic Doppler flow measurements to determine blood pressure in this patient population noninvasively. In 28 rotary blood pump recipients, blood pressure was measured three times with the developed Doppler method and compared to the invasive arterial line (n = 15) or to the oscillometric Terumo Elemano BP monitor (n = 13). Blood velocities in the radial artery were recorded by the new Doppler sensor during cuff deflation. A sigmoid curve was fitted to a preprocessed velocity signal and the systolic and mean arterial pressures were determined. A total of 84 measurements were performed, and 17 recordings were visually excluded from further analysis due to obvious artifacts. Both the systolic and mean pressures derived by the Doppler method were in good accordance with the invasively measured pressure (3.7 ± 6.6 mmHg for the systolic and −2.1 ± 7.3 mmHg for the mean pressure). A good agreement between the oscillometric monitor and the Doppler method for the systolic (0.0 ± 6.0 mmHg) and mean (1.0 ± 5.9 mmHg) pressures was observed. In this study, a new Doppler blood pressure measurement system was developed and clinically validated. The novel sensor allows easier placement above the radial artery compared to commercial probes. An algorithm was developed which processes the Doppler signal robustly and is able to determine the systolic as well as the mean arterial blood pressure.

Conventional magnet manufacturing is a significant bottleneck in the development processes of products that use magnets, because every design adaption requires production steps with long lead times. Additive manufacturing of magnetic components delivers the opportunity to shift to agile and test-driven development in early prototyping stages, as well as new possibilities for complex designs. In an effort to simplify integration of magnetic components, the current work presents a method to directly print polymer-bonded hard magnets of arbitrary shape into thermoplastic parts by fused deposition modeling. This method was applied to an early prototype design of a rotary blood pump with magnetic bearing and magnetic drive coupling. Thermoplastics were compounded with 56 vol.% isotropic NdFeB powder to manufacture printable filament. With a powder loading of 56 vol.%, remanences of 350 mT and adequate mechanical flexibility for robust processability were achieved. This compound allowed us to print a prototype of a turbodynamic pump with integrated magnets in the impeller and housing in one piece on a low-cost, end-user 3D printer. Then, the magnetic components in the printed pump were fully magnetized in a pulsed Bitter coil. The pump impeller is driven by magnetic coupling to non-printed permanent magnets rotated by a brushless DC motor, resulting in a flow rate of 3 L/min at 1000 rpm. For the first time, an application of combined multi-material and magnet printing by fused deposition modeling was shown. The presented process significantly simplifies the prototyping of products that use magnets, such as rotary blood pumps, and opens the door for more complex and innovative designs. It will also help postpone the shift to conventional manufacturing methods to later phases of the development process.
