Technical Support of Preclinical Hydrodynamic and Functional Tests of New Medical Mechatronic Peristaltic Blood Pumps Developed by Central Research Institute of Robotics and Cybernetics

The article considers the results of scientific research works on creation of hydrodynamic and functional experimental benches for pre-clinical physiological tests of new mechatronic peristaltic blood pumps. The conclusion states the need in carrying out such tests before the start of biological experiments involving animals. An example of the device developed at Central Research Institute of Robotics and Cybernetics-a centrifugal pump-having optimal physiological characteristics is provided. The novelty of the proposed approaches to creation of hydrodynamic and functional experimental benches, as well as their technical equipment and data obtained as a result of the experiments, form a new approach to conduct of preclinical and physiological tests of mechatronic peristaltic pumps.
