Blood Pumps

Blood pumps are critical devices used in various medical procedures, including cardiopulmonary bypass during heart surgery, blood transfusions, and treatment for patients with heart failure.

These pumps facilitate the flow of blood, ensuring that adequate circulation is maintained while medical interventions take place. Given the essential role of blood pumps in patient care, they must operate with precision and reliability to prevent complications and enhance patient outcomes.

Industry Challenges

Fluid Dynamics Complexity:

The behavior of blood as a non-Newtonian fluid can complicate flow measurement, making it difficult to achieve accurate and stable performance under varying conditions.

01
Risk of Thrombosis

Prolonged contact of blood with pump surfaces can lead to thrombus (blood clot) formation, which can compromise the safety of the pump and the well-being of the patient.

02
Regulatory Compliance

Blood pumps are subject to stringent regulatory standards to ensure their safety and efficacy. Meeting these standards requires accurate measurement of the blood flow.
