Abstract:
A method for synchronizing operation of a heart assist pump device to a patient's cardiac cycle includes obtaining a signal from a motor of a heart assist pump device and filtering the signal to remove noise. The method also includes determining a speed synchronization start point at which time the motor of the heart assist pump device will begin a change in speed of operation based on the filtered signal. The method further includes modulating a speed of the motor of the heart assist pump device to a target speed at the speed synchronization start point, thereby synchronizing the change in speed of operation with a patient's cardiac cycle.

Claim (Index 7):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein determining the speed synchronization start point comprises:\n using a maximum amplitude time point as a reference when T max2max [i] is most close to T cyc [i] such that the speed synchronization start point is equal to t max [i]+T cyc [i] T sp , where T sp  is the duration of the increase in speed of operation; using a minimum amplitude time point as the reference when T min2min [i] is most close to T cyc [i] such that the speed synchronization start point is equal to T min [i]+T cyc [i] T k1 , where T k1 =k 1 T min2max , and k 1 \u22480.25 to 0.4, which depends on the T sp ; using a falling-crossing time point as the reference when T f2f [i] is most close to T cyc [i] such that the speed synchronization start point is equal to t f [i+1]+T f2min +T k1 , where T f2min  is the average of T f2min , and T k1 =k 1 T min2max ; or using a rising-crossing time point as the reference when T r2r [i] is most close to T cyc [i] such that the speed synchronization start point is equal to t r [i]+T cyc [i]\u2212T k2  where T k2 =k 2 T min2max , and k 2 \u22480.125 to 0.3, which depends on the T sp .
