English abstract:
This work presents the development of a systemic mock circulation loop designed for testing of an axial flow, pneumatically operated left ventricular assist device (LVAD). A simulation of the heart proximal systemic circulation has been implemented that resembles the environment in which the LVAD will be operating, from where a hydraulic system, with several reconsiderations, has been constructed. An alternative method for measurement of the pulsatile aortic flow is suggested. A significant match between the simulated and measured system responses is demonstrated which substantially simplifies the search for parameter sets that determine the hemodynamic behavior of the system. Due to a high degree of flexibility and a wide range of hemodynamic states that can be simulated, the presented mock circulation is suitable for in-vitro experiments with the LVAD.
