Component engineering is important for the development of implantable-type rotary blood pumps (RP). The authors are conducting elementary development of an implantable artificial heart. A sensor system detects information in the living body. An automatic control system performs the drive control. Energy is provided by a transcutaneous energy transmission system (TETS). Various artificial hearts are being created. Miniaturization resulting from an increase in operating frequency is planned. A vibrating flow pump (VFP) has a reduced size of pumping chamber because of the high-speed reciprocating movement. Undulation pump ventricular assist devices (UPVAD) are small, lightweight rotary pumps. VFPs are useful in the medical treatment of multiple organ failure (MOF). UPVADs are planned to be permanent-use RPs. The purposes of these two artificial hearts differ, although they have a common component. The authors are developing TETS by using amorphous fibers, making efficient power transmission possible. Control information input from a micro or nano sensor is realized. A control algorithm has been developed and baroreflex control has been successful. Artificial heart development, fully exploiting component engineering, continues.
