Why Use Pressure Inputs?
Provides physiologic feedback for pump control. Provides added-value pump diagnostic and monitoring
functions. Increases capability for patient monitoring. Potentially increases patient quality of life.

Summary
An initial control algorithm has been implemented to auto-regulate rotary blood pumps using physiological pressure inputs.
Two levels of control for a rotary pump have been tested in a mock loop setup.
The pressure signals produce added-value information. Additional monitoring and control levels have been conceived. Goal is to contribute to patient quality of life.
