video made in 2011.</p>

<p>

exclt video. &nbsp;5 mins. Engl subtitles. no sound.

it appears that the hydraulics are ALL internal (ie the working fluid does not go outside the body.)

The external line is only for control, monitoring, and electricity.</p>

<p>

min one: the large flaps are each about half or more of the ATRIA and each has a valve.

1.15 &nbsp;shows suture line for atria at IVC/RA &nbsp;and onto pulmonary veins/LAA.

with a plate that baloons into &nbsp;RA and LA.</p>

<p>

1.30: &nbsp;the heart that mounts onto the plate and into the aorta and the pulmonary trunk.</p>

<p>

1.50 you can see the power cable (looks like a VGA connector) adjacent to the plate</p>

<p>

2.10: &nbsp;the rotating pumps that propel that working fluid.

called electrohaudraulic onverters &nbsp;at 2.57</p>

<p>

3.17 &nbsp;note the lag of the LV wrt the RV.</p>

<p>

3.21 &nbsp;bio valves and biomembranes touch the blood.</p>

<p>

flow is pulsatilve at 3.30</p>

<p>

energy comes down neck from the L ear. and control signals go out.</p>
