5.1.3 CentriMag and PediMag Blood Pumps
The CentriMag and PediMag Blood Pumps are electronically-driven, centrifugal Pumps
based on bearingless motor
technology. The centrifugal Pump allows pumping without
mechanical bearings and seals. The basic bearingless centrifugal principle is shown in
. An impeller is floating and rotating in the magnetic fields of a stator without
mechanical contact. A compact digital signal processor system with a servo amplifier
allows precise regulation of the impeller location and speed.
