Device for producing an artificial blood circulation

摘要

A pump has a tubular membrane (14) deformed cylindrically by fluid driving pressure to produce an artificial blood circulation. The pump has a feeler (42) which follows the deformation of membrane (14) and operates a switch (102) to close the circuit of an optical signalling device (103) when the deformation of the membrane (14) reaches a predetermined value. A control circuit (104) may be provided for the automatic regulation of the fluid driving pressure acting on the membrane (14) in dependence upon the duration of the closure time of the switch (102). (FIG. 7).
