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
Figure 7. 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.
