Introduction

The heart transplant is very effective as a

medical treatment means for the patients who
have serious heart problem.

The heart transplant is premised on a

donor's brain dying, and is remarkably
insufficient in number of the donors. Utilization
of the artificial heart will solve the problem
that the donor is insufficient.

When an artificial heart system is put in

practical use, there are some problems to be
solved. One of the problems is for energy
supply to drive an artificial heart actuator.
Energy is most simply supplied by using a
cable

Artificial Heart

Mechanical heart which completely substitutes the

natural heart anatomically and physiologically
Extra pumping chamber that can pump blood
throughout the body
Made up of metal and plastic
Has major parts
Rechargeable battery
Pump actuator
Blood handling parts

Energy Transference Scheme

The TET system allows the noninvasive

transmission of
energy to the inside of
the body. Figure1displays a block diagram of the
TET system.

Transcutaneous energy transmission (TET)

system is the most promising way transmitting the
driving energy without invasion. TET system uses
electromagnetic induction between the external coil
(primary) and the internal coil (secondary).

The AC electric power is transmitted to the

inside of the body through the transcutaneous
transformer, as shown in Figure2.

EXTERNAL RECHARGEABLE BATTERY

The Lithium ion battery (CGR18650A)

was adopted for an external power supply
because of high energy density, high output
power and ten cells in series connection were
used in battery pack

The completely-charged rechargeable

battery can supply a power of 44.5W.

DEPT OF ECE,VIT

The maximum power transmittable through the ECTETS

driven by the external lithium ion battery was measured.
Next, the artificial heart actuator ( rate of systole and
diastole: 50-percent, right rotation: 700-rpm, left rotation:
700-rpm) was driven by the electric power supplied by
the external rechargeable battery through the ECTETS.

The rechargeable battery can drive the artificial heart

actuator through the ECTETS for 4-hours .the time that
the external rechargeable battery can drive the artificial
heart is almost proportional to the weight of the battery.

ADVANTAGES

Advantages of the artificial heart are that it

is readily available and there is no need for
immunosuppressive drugs

The artificial heart restores hemodynamic

stability, raising blood pressure and helping vital
organs recover, as much as possible, in preparation for
a heart transplant.

DISADVANTAGES

The artificial heart is not without risk,

and those risks include failure of the electrical
motor, infection, and the need to take blood
thinners to prevent clotting.Stroke and
bleeding are also possible complications with
the artificial heart.

Conclusion

This evaluated the operating characteristics of the

ECTETS driven by the rechargeable battery for the
patients to go out or move freely. As a result, the
ECTETS driven by ten cells of lithium ion battery in
series connection was able to transmit the maximum
output power of 44.5-watt.

The ECTETS driven by 430-g battery pack in series

connection was able to drive the artificial heart actuator
for 4- hours.
