A Mock Circulatory System for Testing Pediatric Rotary Blood Pumps

  • Published:
Biomedical Engineering Aims and scope

A mock circulatory system for simulating physiological characteristics of the cardiovascular system of pediatric heart failure patients is described. The system can also be used for preclinical testing of pediatric ventricular assist devices based on implantable rotary blood pumps.
