Prediction of blood damage in artificial organs
| One essential criterion for the successful development of medical devices and artificial organs is acceptance by the human body. The latent potential for blood damage, change and deposits have to be minimised to facilitate blood flow in devices.
As an addition and alternative to expensive in-vitro and in-vivo experiments for haemo-compatibility of organ displacement systems and other flow devices ASD GmbH has developed a method which enables the determination and prediction of blood damage potential. Using modern blood damage theories in numerical simulations, ASD GmbH has developed leading expertise in this field. Prediction of damage, activation, aggregation and deposition of cells during the product development phase promotes cost minimisation and essentially faster product optimisation.

 Load-time function of blood constituents in a centrifugal blood pump

The minimisation of blood damage potentials of centrifugal blood pumps before manufacturing and testing of prototypes is only one example of an application of this method.
