Abstract
A circulatory assist system is disclosed, the system including an implantable electrical device having an electric motor, an implantable controller connected to the implantable electrical device, and an implantable power source connected to the controller for supplying power to the controller. The controller is attachable to a first side of a percutaneous connector. A second side of the percutaneous connector, opposite to the first side, allows external connectivity to said controller.
Claims12
A circulatory assist system comprising:
- an implantable electrical device having an electric motor;
- an implantable controller electrically connected to said implantable electrical device;
- an implantable power source electrically connected to said implantable controller for supplying power to the implantable controller or to the implantable electrical device;
- and
- a skin button having a first side and a second side opposite to said first side;
- wherein said implantable controller is attachable to said first side of the skin button,
- the second side of said skin button allows connectivity to said implantable controller,
- wherein the implantable controller includes a drive MOSFET circuit for disabling drive signals from the implantable controller or disabling routing of power from the implantable power source through the implantable controller to the implantable electrical device, and
- wherein the skin button is configured to selectively ground an input MOSFET disable signal.
