Abstract
A drive unit system for operating a cardiac assist device is disclosed. The drive unit system may include an R-wave detection module that makes a speculative detection of an R-wave associated with a received electrocardiogram (ECG) signal of a patient's heart and a conservative detection of the R-wave. The drive unit system includes a drive unit that may be coupled to the cardiac assist device and may operate the cardiac assist device based on the speculative detection and the conservative detection.
Claims51
A drive unit system for operating an cardiac assist device, the drive unit system comprising:
- an R-wave detection module operative to:
- make a speculative detection of an R-wave associated with a received electrocardiogram (ECG) signal of a heart of a patient;
- and
- make a conservative detection of the R-wave associated with the ECG signal;
- and
- a drive unit operatively coupleable to the cardiac assist device, the drive unit operative to operate the cardiac assist device based on the speculative detection and the conservative detection.
