P09021 Hydraulic VAD Test Loop System Level Design Review
Project Description
Project Background:The left ventricle is responsible for pumping blood out to the body and for a person with heart disease might not be strong enough. A left ventricular assist device (LVAD) can be surgically implanted to give the heart the boost it needs. RIT is developing a magnetically levitated axial flow LVAD.
Past senior design projects have worked on creating a durability tester for the LVAD, and a centering magnet device. Additionally two projects have focused on developing hemodynamic flow simulation systems.
Problem Statement:The main goal of this project is to create and construct a flexible system that can be run and operated from a user interface on LabView and allow the creation of flow and pressure curves generated from LVAD devices. The system will be able to test LVAD device both with and without Pulsatile Ventricular Simulator (PVS) with fluids and blood.
Objectives/Scope:1. Collect and process data to generate pressure and flow curves for static system which is automatically adjusted.3. Capable of extracting fluids while running in order to determine damage to blood caused by LVAD.3. Collect and process data to generate pressure and flow curve for dynamic system which is a scaled model of the physiological circulatory system working with a PVS.
Deliverables: Functional, partially biocompatible Left
Ventricular Assist Device test loop.
Pressure, Temperature, and Flow characteristic curves for static and dynamic systems.
Expected Project Benefits: Aide in development of magnetically levitated
axial flow LVAD by helping to characterize the amount of assistance which is generated, finding the optimal pressure assist, and determining pumps impact on blood.
Reinforcing the bioengineering program at RIT.
Core Team Members: Jonathan Klein – Project Manager Kyle Menges – Technical Lead Nguyen Dinh Vu – Technical Lead Christine Lowry – Design Engineer (ME) Chris Stein – Design Engineer (ME) Priyadarshini Narasimhan – EE Julie Coggshall – ISE
Strategy & Approach
Assumptions & Constraints:1. Understand the pressure, volume, flow rate, and
temperature of the physiological circulatory system.
2. Working with an existing steady state VAD closed loop, the team will be able to begin their analysis before designing a loop with the LV Simulator.
3. Proposed Budget: $2,000 - $3,0004. Minimize test loop volume and simplistic design
due to blood expenses and risk of damage/ clotting.
Issues & Risks:o Available Resources
Functional Pulsatile Ventricular Simulator
o Blood Issues Certification Purchasing and storage Locations and use
o Project Understanding by team Bio compatibility Physiological Simulation Electrical Needs

Electrical Equivalent SimulationPurpose: Analyze the effect of the venous compliance tank (is it really necessary?)
Figure 1. – Complete system including both capacitors (compliance tanks)
If a resistor represents the resistance in the system, pressure is represented by the voltage in a circuit and the current is the flow rate, a model using electric components can be used to represent the test
loop. and are the resistors representing the resistance of tubing while is the variable resistor used to vary the resistance in the system so as to achieve desired flow and pressure curves. The 2mF capacitor is the arterial compliance and since it has the units of ml/mmHg the capacitor is in micro farads to follow the units of compliance as opposed to l/mmHg in which case the capacitor value would be 2F. The 50mF capacitor also follows the units of the venous compliance which has the value of 50ml/mmHg. A square wave representing the LVAD and PVS, LVAD is indicated the 1V base voltage and the 100V is the PVS mimicing the left ventricle's pumping. The pulse width is 360ms as it because it best models the duration of a single heart beat and the period was set for 60 beats per minute.

Figure 1 was the schematic used to simulate the test loop with an arterial capacitor and venous capacitor while figure 3 was the schematic used to simulate the test loop without a venous tank. Figure 2 shows the results of the simulation of figure 1 and figure 4 shows the results of the simulation of figure 3. Table 1 shows the results of both simulations in a table form with the voltages at the nodes near the arterial and venous capacitance. It also shows the total current in the loop and also the rise time of both the arterial and venous capacitance. Besides this, the table compares the results obtained with and without the venous capacitor. It shows that by removing the venous capacitor, the voltage at the node

near the arterial capacitor decreases slightly since the total current in the loop has increased. The rise time is going to be the same since the capacitor value is not changed. So since there is no drastic change in the voltage at the arterial tank, it will not be required to have the venous. To keep the current, or the rate of flow of the liquid, the variable resistor should be varied.

Assumptions:
The assumptions that were chosen for the fluids analysis include:
Laminar Flow Incompressible Flow Steady State
The fact that blood is a non-Newtonian fluid and that our calculated Reynolds number was 3,936 indicates that there will be some variability between theoretical calculations and the actual pressures and flow measured within the system. Introducing the PVS into the system creates a non-steady condition, and therefore we decided to analyze the system at the maximum desired flow rate for physiological simulation (6 Liters/minute). Under the assumed conditions, the PVS and LVAD both contribute a negative head loss to the system using eq. 8.29, and therefore will benefit the system in terms of pressure loss.
Minor Losses:
To find friction factor f a VBA code (written by Mr. John Wellin) was used. The code requires an input of the Reynolds number and roughness of the pipe/tubing to perform several iterations in order to determine the friction factor based on the Moody Diagram.

For Bend in tube at bottom of loop Table 8.4 was used for 90o elbows (worse case)
For all changes in diameter, including the LVAD Reducer, Fig. 8.14 was used to find the appropriate loss coefficients (Kc, Ke).
For Quick Connects a loss coefficient of K=0 was used as provided in the data sheet from the manufacturer.
The Blood loop and Glycerin water solution loop were analyzed for head losses due to the tubing, connections, tanks and other affects of the system. From our calculations both systems will be able to run and have enough pressure to complete the circuit even with the associated head losses. For the fluids analysis of the Glycerin loop steady state was assumed any variations from this assumption while using the PVS can be accounted for in testing.

Bubble Rise Time
Abstract: this is an analysis to figure out how much time needed for a bubble to reach the surface of liquid. It can be applied for dimensioning the blood tank.
Scheme / given information:
- blood viscosity µ=0.0027 at 100°F- blood density ρblood=1060 kg/m3- air density ρair=1.177 kg/m3 at 100°F
- bubble volume
Vol=43π R3
- buoyancy force Fb=ρblood gVol- drag force Fd=6πμbloodRV- gravity force mg- velocity of fluid inside the tubing Vfluid=0.79 m/s
Assumption: bubbles is sphere-shape, temperature is constant at 100˚F, the bubble rises vertically.

π μblood
We calculated for a bubble of 0.5mm in radius. All the bubble with smaller size will take more time to rise. After calculation in Maple, we found that the time and distance for that the bubble reach its maximum velocity are negligible. So we can assume that the velocity of the bubble is constant with the value V=Vmax=0.213m/s. As a result, the traveled distance is represented as below:
Figure 1. Distance traveled by the bubbled in function of time
If we assume that the velocity of liquid inside the tank is two times less than the velocity in the tubing. So the time needed for a fluid element pass through the tank is:
t=Distanceinput /output0.5×V fluid
With this time, the distance that a bubble raises is:
H=V max×t=V max×Distance
0.5×V fluid
So, in the case of the blood tank, the distance between input and output is ID=4.75 in, so H=2.5 in. In the case of the arterial tank, the distance is IDxcos45o, so H=3.0 in. In the two cases, the bubble gets far enough.

In order to find the approximate time for the blood in the tank to heat as well as the time it took for the water bath tank to heat to temperature the Lumped Capacitance method was used. We inputted these equations and values into excel and found that the time for the blood loop to heat would be less than 2 hours. These numbers indicate a show temperature rise that will be less likely to damage the blood.

These calculations required the solution of a first order ordinary differential equation. The solution to this ODE led us to a find the final temperature of the tubes after a certain distance. The solution to this final equation was graphed in excel. The data shows that there is less than 1 degree change in temperature over 50 in of tubing. From this calculation it is clear that the heating system that we have

Linear motor’s force approximation
Abstract: this is an analysis to approximate the force needed by the linear motor.
Scheme / given information:
Constants:- Fluid maximum pressure: Pfluid=2 psi- Outer diameter of the tubing: OD=11/16 in- Width of clamp: W=1 in
Assumption: The resistance of the tubing has been neglected
Analysis:
When the tubing is totally clamped, the length of clamp area is: L=Circumference

So the force can be approximated as:Fmotor=P fluid× L×W=2 psi×1.1∈×1∈¿2.2 pounds
So if we neglect the resistance of the tubing, the force needed is 2.2 pounds.

Arterial tank dimensioning
Abstract: this is an analysis to dimension the arterial tank, and calculate its properties.
Scheme / given information:
Constants from the physiological mocking system:-Compliance Cv=2.2 mL/mmHg=1.65e-8 m3/Pa-Fluid pressure at the output (absolute) Pf=860 mmHg =1.147e5 Pa-Density of glycerin ρ=1060km/m3
Constants from material constraints:
- Inner diameter of the tank ID=7.75 in=0.197 m-Height of the tank h=0.6 ft=0.183 m
Other constant: gravity g=9.81 m/s2
Assumption: ideal gas, small change in fluid height
Analysis:
From the equation: C v=

Pair=V tank−A tank h f

We come up to the expression:h f=

And:Pair=

C v=1.13e5(absolute )
So we find that we need to fill in 4.78 inch-height liquid, and the pressure of the air in the tank must be 1.75psi to have a pressure of 100mmHg at the output of the tank.Reference:

Saline Flush
In search for a solution to flush out LVAD test loop post- blood testing, Drugs.com (a Drug
Information Online source) suggested the use of Sodium Chloride Irrigation, which is commonly
used in Clinical Pharmacology. 0.9% Sodium Chloride Irrigation USP is used for a variety of clinical
indications such as sterile irrigation of body cavities, tissues or wounds, indwelling urethral
catheters, surgical drainage tubes, and for washing, rinsing or soaking surgical dressings,
instruments and laboratory specimens. It also serves as a diluent or vehicle for drugs used for
irrigation or other pharmaceutical preparations. 0.9% Sodium Chloride Irrigation USP provides an
isotonic saline irrigation identical in composition with 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection USP (normal
saline).1
Many vendors of biocompatible tubing or valves, which we will likely purchase materials,
such as Cole-Parmer.com, suggest sterilization by autoclave, radiation, or ethylene oxide. An
autoclave is a pressurized machine that heats aqueous solutions above their boiling point at normal
atmospheric pressure to make objects sterilized.2 Autoclaves can cost anywhere between $1,756
and $3,958, and are out of the price range of this project. 3 Radiation is also an option not suited for
this project, and would divert too much focus away from the scope. Ethylene oxide is the organic
compound with the formula C2H4O. This colorless flammable gas with a faintly sweet odor is the
simplest epoxide, a three-member ring consisting of two carbons and one oxygen atom, and is also
used for medical sterilization.4 This chemical is used in a chamber sterilization method, which a
chamber is flooded with a mixture of ethylene oxide and other gases that are later aerated. Because
of this, and the fact that it is toxic to inhale, we are choosing not to use ethylene oxide (nor radiation

Looking at the results for what was obtained from the calculations to figure out the sensitivity of the sensor and resolution of both the DAQ and sensor, it was found that if the PX2300 was purchased it can be coupled with the flow sensor and the USB 6009 DAQ. If instead the PX26 was purchased it is possible to couple it with the NI9211A DAQ and thermocouple. But if the OMB-DAQ-54 was bought it is possible to incorporate all the sensors including the flow sensor as it has a total of 10 single ended analog inputs.
Since the NI9211 has the a range of ±80mV along with the thermocouple, this makes it possible to use the PX26 pressure sensor, besides this it has a resolution of about 10nV/bit showing that it will be able to resolve the minute fluctuation of the sensors. The sensor is shown to output 10mV per psi of change. Assuming that required accuracy of the pressure reading is 0.1inches of water, it was found that the resolution of the sensor to be 36.1µV, meaning that the when the sensor detects 36.1µV then it indicates a change in pressure.
For the flow sensor, it has a sensitivity of about 0.156V/liter and a resolution of 7.8mV if it is assumed that the accuracy of the reading needs to be a 0.05 liter change. The output voltage range also corresponds of the OMB-DAQ-54 so they can be used together.
