A control strategy for rotary blood pumps meeting different user-selectable control objectives is proposed: maximum support with the highest feasible flow rate versus medium support with maximum ventricular washout and controlled opening of the aortic valve (AoV). A pulsatility index (PI) is calculated from the pressure difference, which is deduced from the axial thrust measured by the magnetic bearing of the pump. The gradient of PI with respect to pump speed (GPI) is estimated via online system identification. The outer loop of a cascaded controller regulates GPI to a reference value satisfying the selected control objective. The inner loop controls the PI to a reference value set by the outer loop. Adverse pumping states such as suction and regurgitation can be detected on the basis of the GPI estimates and corrected by the controller. A lumped-parameter computer model of the assisted circulation was used to simulate variations of ventricular contractility, pulmonary venous pressure, and aortic pressure. The performance of the outer control loop was demonstrated by transitions between the two control modes. Fast reaction of the inner loop was tested by stepwise reduction of venous return. For maximum support, a low PI was maintained without inducing ventricular collapse. For maximum washout, the pump worked at a high PI in the transition region between the opening and the permanently closed AoV. The cascaded control of GPI and PI is able to meet different control objectives and is worth testing in vitro and in vivo.
