Abstract
A heart failure recovery device includes a fluid pump having an inlet and an outlet in fluid communication with a pump reservoir, and a pumping element disposed within the pump reservoir, the pumping element including a protrusion that in an active state is configured to rotate and move fluid away from the inlet and towards the outlet. A receiver coil can be electrically coupled to the fluid pump and is configured to subcutaneously absorb electromagnetic energy for powering the fluid pump. In certain embodiments, an implantable port provides fluid access to the pump reservoir for cleaning and maintaining the fluid pump. In other embodiments, a valve closes fluid access to at least one of the inlet and the outlet during periods when the device is not being used for treatment.
