SYSTEM FOR CONNECTING A BLOOD PUMP WITHOUT TRAPPING AIR BUBBLES

A system for connecting medical tubing or any other type of fluidic circuit conduits (e.g., cannulae) to a ventricular assist device ("VAD") or any other pumping device used for blood pumping during cardiac circulatory support for vascular surgery. The system prevents air bubbles from ente...

Zusammenfassung:A system for connecting medical tubing or any other type of fluidic circuit conduits (e.g., cannulae) to a ventricular assist device ("VAD") or any other pumping device used for blood pumping during cardiac circulatory support for vascular surgery. The system prevents air bubbles from entering a cardiac circulatory support system when connecting cannulae to a VAD that may later enter the blood stream of a patient during cardiac surgery, and also provide for purging any air bubbles that may have entered the cardiac circulatory support system during a cannulae-VAD connection.
