Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to medical devices and methods. More particularly, the present invention relates to an implantable blood pump having a sealless fully magnetically suspended rotor.
- a sealless centrifugal blood pump is described in published PCT application WO 97/29795 and U.S. Patent No. 5,695,471.
- the pump is driven by an electric motor and incorporates radial magnetic bearings and stationary axial thrust bearings having contacting surfaces with the shaft or rotor.
- the purpose of the pump is to provide a left ventricular assist device operating over extended periods of time for the treatment of congestive heart failure.
- the shaft with the radial magnetic bearings, carrying the cantilevered pump impeller and motor/rotor combination may become misaligned (angled) causing problems with the motor gap(s).
- the second case there would be constant contact between the shaft end(s) and the axial bearing(s), potentially giving rise to additional thrombus formation and hemolysis.
- Combination of an axial motor with a centrifugal pump imposes some additional constraints on the optimum design of both. Compromises are mainly due to the small width of the motor gap(s), needed for improved efficiency, and the need to provide magnetic components as well as flat motor-pump impeller combination.
- the present invention is an improved design for a sealless rotary blood pump.
- the design separates the motor from the hydraulic impeller, where the motor is of the coaxial and/or concentric stator and rotor type and is preferably located in the left ventricle while the impeller which is mounted on the same shaft, remains external to the heart.
- the support of the shaft carrying the rotor and the pump impeller has been improved by using a combination of magnetical cylindrical and conical end bearings that can suspend the shaft in a floating configuration.
- the pump impeller includes a combination of axial and radial vanes to improve performance.
- the motor is suspended by bearings at each end and is not cantilevered.
- the impeller is cantilevered relative to bearings.
- the blood flow into the pump is divided in two paths in order to provide a large entry duct for the primary path and a smaller secondary flow path through the decreased motor gap to optimize the motor design.
- a hollow shaft or an external intake are used for the primary blood path.
- the shape of the pump casing has been further improved to fit within the apex of the heart.
- Pulsatile flow can be achieved by varying the angular velocity of the rotor shaft, at a preferred frequency of from 0.5 Hz to 1.5 Hz, more preferably from 1 Hz to 1.3 Hz.
- the direction (sense) of rotation of the pump can be chosen so that the reaction torque of the heart to which the pump is attached mimics the pulsatile torque of a normal heart. Additionally, the sound of a pulsatile flow rotary pump would likely be less objectionable than the sound of a continuously operating pump.
- Fig. 1 illustrates a first embodiment of a sealless blood pump constructed in accordance with the principles of the present invention.
- Figs. 2A and 2B illustrate the magnetic bearing utilized in the pump of Fig. 1.
- Fig. 3 is an external perspective view of the blood pump of Fig. 1.
- Fig. 4 illustrates an alternative magnetic bearing.
- Fig. 5 illustrates an alternative blood pump constructed in accordance with the principles of the present invention.
- Fig. 6 is a schematic illustration of a gating system for achieving pulsatile flow.
- Fig. 7 illustrates certain flow characteristics of the pulsatile flow blood pump.
- FIG. 1 A blood pump according to present invention is illustrated in Fig. 1.
- the blood pump incorporates a brushless radial motor 1 flanked by modified magnetic bearings 2 having lateral ferromagnetic pole pieces 3 that provide for balanced axial constraint.
- a primary blood flow path is through an eccentric intake nozzle 4, and a hydraulic impeller 5 may be of the thick web type or may be a modified Kaplan turbine- type pump impeller, having both axial and radial flow components, as shown.
- the intake nozzle 4 is preferably provided with a large cross-section and a short length, e.g. just longer than the muscle thickness of the apex of the heart, in order to reduce the hydraulic losses of the intake flow when compared to the annular path along the radial magnetic bearings of the prior art. Since the primary blood flow is through intake nozzle 4, radial gap 4a between the rotor and stator for both the motor and the radial magnetic bearings, may be substantially reduced when compared to the prior art. This design improves the magnetic efficiency and allows for a more compact design. Decreasing the size of the radial gap will also improve the stiffness of the radial bearing making the device less susceptible to shock and vibration while minimally impacting hemolysis or thrombus formation in the gap.
- the radial annular gap 4a provides a secondary parallel blood flow path for the pump.
- the cross sectional area of this decreased annular gap will have a much reduced blood flow capacity both due to the reduced cross sectional area of the smaller annulus and due to the greater effect of the boundary layers.
- gap 4a mainly allows for the design of a floating rotor with no contacting surfaces between the rotor magnetic bearings or the shaft, against any of the stationary components of the pump for all operating conditions.
- the magnetic bearings 2 may be similar to those described in U.S. Patent
- the disks 2a in Fig. 1 are axially magnetized permanent magnets assembled next to pole pieces, with equal poles facing each other resulting in a flux pattern wherein the poles of the stator and the rotor repel each other.
- the inner pole pieces on each side of the motor also provide magnetic shielding so that the magnetic bearing flux will not significantly interfere with the magnetic motor flux.
- FIG. 2A shows one bearing cell with the modified lateral pole pieces 2b.
- the pole pieces Pi and P are both shown as magnetic South poles and will repel each other with a force F a which has a radial component F r (Fig.
- the cross-section of the outer end pole piece is shown with more material toward the outer end, and the gap is shown with a slight conical angle mismatch to even out the flux repulsion across the gap.
- An alternate axial bearing design is shown hereinafter.
- an intake nozzle 4b need not be axisymmetric. It may also be preferably oriented toward the free wall of the left ventricle.
- Another feature of the present device is that it permits forming a "waist" or annular constriction in radially narrowed region 6a in the main housing to provide improved anchoring in the muscle at the apex of the heart.
- the base of the impeller housing may better conform to the shape of the apex of the heart.
- loops or anchors will be provided in the housing (not shown) to permit suturing to hold the pump in place.
- the hydraulic impeller design is no longer constrained by the need to serve also as the rotor of a flat motor as in the prior art.
- impellers such as a ship's screw rotor or a modified Kaplan turbine-type impeller having both axial and radial flow, while still inside a centrifugal pump housing.
- Such designs would have less surface exposed to the blood than the thick web impeller of the prior art.
- hemostasis should become a problem between the end of the impeller shaft and the secondary housing 6, it is possible to drill one or more holes in the impeller to provide leakage paths 7 for the blood. While this would minimally decrease pumping efficiency, it may be an advantageous compromise.
- titanium will be used for all housings because of its high strength and low weight, as well as its natural damping characteristics and biocompatibility.
- the principal housing 8, secondary housing 6, and end cap 9 can all be formed from titanium by investment casting and machining, or in the case of end cap 9, by machining from stock.
- the permanent magnets 10 can be made of a high energy rare earth, such as iron-neodymium or samarium-cobalt. Pole pieces can be made from pure or very low-carbon iron and then plated or coated to inhibit corrosion and enhance biocompatibility.
- the blood pump can be assembled in stages as follows.
- the stator (motor and magnetic bearings) could be installed in the principal housing 8, all except for pole piece 3 which is pre-assembled within cap 9.
- the impeller and shaft is then introduced in the stator assembly and the motor and bearing portions of the rotor are assembled onto the impeller shaft.
- the end cap subassembly (components 9 and 3) is then assembled onto the principal housing 8.
- the secondary housing 6 is assembled onto the principle housing, to complete the construction. All joints should be permanent and preferably done with press fits and adhesives in a manner similar to assembly techniques used in the disk drive motor industry.
- the implantable device will usually be coated with an anti- thrombotic coating.
- FIG. 4 an alternate magnetic bearings design is illustrated.
- the bearing cell in Fig. 4 differs from that in Fig. 2A by the addition of an annular permanent magnet 22 and annular end pole 20 which jointly may augment the axial repulsion forces between angled pole pieces 24 in the static and the rotating portions of the pump.
- the actual forces can be verified first analytically by using magnetic Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and then experimentally.
- FEA magnetic Finite Element Analysis
- a similar arrangement with added permanent magnet and pole piece is used at the opposite end of the magnetic bearing (not shown) to balance the axial forces.
- An alternative implantable pump design is illustrated in Fig. 5 (where like components are numbered the same as in Fig. 1).
- This design incorporates many of the features of the previously described pump, but differs in that a primary blood flow path 30 is routed to the impeller 5 through a hollow shaft 11, thus eliminated the need for a separate entry nozzle 4 or 4b as shown in Figs. 1 and 3.
- This embodiment takes advantage of the shaft 11 and the entire rotor assembly being truly floating (i.e., having no physical contact during rotation). It is furthermore advantageous because the efficiency of the motor is minimally impacted by the loss of magnetic material in the center of the rotor. Such a design could not be implemented in a configuration incorporating axial contacting bearings acting on a shaft as taught by the prior art.
- the centrifugal pumps of the present invention can be modified to operate so as to provide pulsatile blood flow into the aorta, which may be clinically advantageous in certain respects.
- pulsatile flow more closely matches or mimics the natural cycle of a beating heart.
- rotary pumps as proposed in the prior art and including temporary pumps placed in the aorta, are normally associated with continuous (non-pulsatile) flow.
- Pulsatile flow can be achieved with a rotary pump, however, by varying the rotational speed, preferably at a frequency between 0.5 Hz to 1.5 Hz, more preferably at 1 Hz and 1.3 Hz, which corresponds to heart rates in the range from 30 to 90 and 60 to 80 beats per minute, respectively.
- the frequency of rotational pulsatility can be gated to the output of the coronary sinus node through the use of appropriate sensors.
- a modified pacemaker can be used to gate or pace the pump through pacemaker leads as shown schematically in Fig. 6.
- the pulsatile cycle of the rotary pump will be triggered a fraction of a second ahead of the ventricles in order to best synchronize the output of the pump into the aorta with the pulsation of the ventricles since the acceleration of the rotary pump may be slower than the contraction of the ventricles.
- it may not be practical to exactly match the pulsatile flow rate of a normal heart with an electrically controlled rotary pump it may be possible to approximate the average flow rate when using a pacemaker as shown in Fig. 6 together with the appropriate pump motor drivers.
- the aortic flow velocity and the volume stroke in a healthy heart is depicted by a solid line.
- the peak flow rate may be increased, as shown in a broken line 40, or the delivery cycle may be lengthened, as shown in the broken line 42, or some combination of both as shown in the broken line 44.
- the objective will be to mimic the stroke volume per cycle, i.e., the area under the curves as illustrated in Fig. 7.
- Another advantage to gating the rotary pump with a pacemaker if the pacemaker is a rate-responsive device, is that the pacemaker in combination with the pump motor drivers can control the actual cardiac output through separate sets of algorithms. Such rate- responsive pacemakers are currently made to control heart rate only.
- a normal heart contracts and expands with every cycle, and also twists around an axis running approximately through the apex and the root of the aorta.
- Such periodic twisting motion would be partly mimicked by a left ventricular assist device having a rotary pump with a shaft aligned with the axis of the heart and controlled to deliver pulsatile flow.
- the housing which is tied into the apex of the heart, experiences a reaction torque which is transmitted to the heart. This reaction is opposite to the shaft sense of rotation.
- the sound of a pulsatile rotary pump may also be less objectionable to a patient than the constant hum of the constant velocity pump, particularly if the pulsatile action mimics the normal heartbeat.
