Abstract

A blood pump system includes two blood pumps, which may be implanted into a patient. The blood pumps may comprise VAD pumps. Control devices and methods operate the pumps such that they can function as a total artificial heart.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A heart pump system, comprising:
 first and second blood pumps; and   a controller operably connected to the first and second pumps.   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the controller includes first and second controllers operably connected to the first and second pumps, respectively. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the pumps comprise ventricle assist devices (VADs). 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the controller operates the first and second pumps in a master/slave configuration.
