Abstract

Mechanical circulatory support systems that employ a connector cable for transmitting power and data are disclosed. A mechanical circulatory support system includes a ventricular cuff, a ventricular assist device, an external module, and a connector cable. The ventricular cuff is configured for attachment to a heart. The ventricular assist device is configured for attachment to the ventricular cuff and includes a housing, a rotor, a stator assembly, and control electronics. The external module includes an internal battery and is configured to power and control operation of the mechanical circulatory support system. Power and data are transmitted from the external module to the ventricular assist device over the connector cable. The connector cable includes two redundant pairs of electrical conductors.
