Abstract
A connector unit for a control unit is configured to control an implantable blood pump. The connector unit includes a supply interface designed for connecting the connector unit to a power supply, a data interface designed for connecting the connector unit to a data processing unit, and a control interface designed for connecting the connector unit to an integrated interface of the control unit. A supply connection of the control unit to the power supply and a data connection of the control unit to the data processing unit can be established at the same time by means of the connector unit. The application furthermore relates to a control unit for controlling an implantable blood pump and to a control system for an implantable blood pump.
Claims13
A connector unit for a control unit, the control unit configured to control an implantable blood pump, wherein the connector unit comprises:
- a supply interface configured to connect the connector unit to a power supply;
- a data interface configured to connect the connector unit to a data processing unit;
- and
- a control interface configured to connect the connector unit to an integrated interface of the control unit so that a supply connection of the control unit to the power supply and a data connection of the control unit to the data processing unit can simultaneously be established by the connector unit;
- wherein the connector unit comprises a USB controller circuit and the data interface comprises a USB interface;
- wherein the connector unit comprises an insulation barrier for an electrical decoupling of the control unit from the data processing unit.
A control system for an implantable blood pump comprising:
- a connector unit that comprises:
- a supply interface configured to connect the connector unit to a power supply;
- a data interface configured to connect the connector unit to a data processing unit;
- and
- a control interface configured to connect the connector unit to an integrated interface of the control unit so that a supply connection of the control unit to the power supply and a data connection of the control unit to the data processing unit can simultaneously be established by the connector unit;
- and
- a control unit that comprises:
- an integrated interface that is connectable to the control interface of the connector unit to establish the supply connection and the data connection;
- wherein the connector unit comprises a USB controller circuit and the data interface comprises a USB interface;
- wherein the connector unit comprises an insulation barrier for an electrical decoupling of the control unit from the data processing unit.
