Abstract

We present an experimental setup for measuring the mechanical performance of centrifugal blood pumps. Using a 3D printer to construct supporting parts and magnetic couplings, we developed the measurement setup that can be used for various types of blood pumps. The experimental setup is equipped with sensors to measure a variety of mechanical characteristics of blood pumps including pressure, flow rate, torque, temperature, and rotating speed. Our experimental measurements for two commercial blood pumps are consistent with data provided by manufacturers, which indicates that the our setup offers the accurate measurements of blood pump performance. Utilizing the experimental setup, we tested aqueous glycerin solutions mimicking the density and viscosity of blood, which enabled us to predict the difference in operations using water and blood.
