Abstract:
A blood pump has an inner housing and an actuator at least partially surrounded by the inner housing which is configured to drive a flow of blood within the body. An electronic component associated with a surface of the housing includes one or more thin film active electronic devices which implement one or more transducers configured to generate a signal based on movement associated with operation of the blood pump. An electromagnetic stator at least partially surrounds the inner housing and is configured to be magnetically coupled with the actuator in an energized state of the electromagnetic stator, wherein the electromagnetic stator may overlie at least a portion of the electronic component.
