Abstract

See full text

A blood pump includes a housing an inlet and outlet communicating with a pump chamber. A rotor received in the pump chamber is rotated by a drive motor. A drive shaft extending between the motor and rotor passes through a seal which is purged from the non-blood side by fluid. The fluid side of the seal contains a pumping element to modulate the fluid pressure, thereby controlling the purge fluid flow.
