BLOOD FLOW SYSTEM WITH OPERATOR ATTACHABLE COMPONENTS
First Claim
1. A system for pumping blood in a patient comprising:
- a rotational drive assembly;
a fluid drive element;
a housing, surrounding the fluid drive element, and comprising an inflow port and an outflow port;
an inflow cannula assembly comprising;
an inflow conduit with a proximal end and a distal end, wherein the distal end is operably attachable to the inflow port and the proximal end is fluidly connectable to a source of oxygenated blood; and
an inflow connector constructed and arranged to operably connect the inflow conduit to the inflow port; and
an outflow graft assembly comprisingan outflow conduit with a proximal end and a distal end, wherein the proximal end is operably attachable to the outflow port and the distal end is fluidly connectable to a blood vessel; and
an outflow connector constructed and arranged to operably connect the outflow conduit to the outflow port.

Abstract
A system for pumping blood in a patient comprises multiple components including a rotational drive assembly; a fluid drive element; a housing, an inflow cannula assembly and an outflow graft assembly. The inflow cannula assembly comprises an inflow conduit and an inflow connector. The outlet graft assembly comprises an outflow conduit and an outflow connector. The housing surrounds the fluid drive element and comprises an inflow port and an outflow port. The inflow conduit comprises a first end operably attachable to the inflow port and a second end fluidly connectable to a source of oxygenated blood. The outflow conduit comprises a first end operably attachable to the outflow port and a second end fluidly connectable to a blood vessel. The inflow connector operably connects the inflow conduit to the inflow port. The outflow connector operably connects the outflow conduit to the outflow port.
