Abstract
Blood circulation assist systems with patient connectable cable assemblies. A blood circulation assist system includes a blood pump, an external controller, a percutaneous cable assembly, and an external cable assembly. The external controller is configured to output a connection indication. The percutaneous cable assembly includes a proximal connector. The external cable assembly includes a distal connector. The distal connector and the proximal connector are configured for connection and disconnection by the patient. The external controller is configured to detect whether the distal connector and the proximal connector are connected. The connection indication is indicative of whether the distal connector and the proximal connector are connected.
