Abstract:
A method of operating a counterpulsation device (CPD) in a human or animal subject is disclosed, the method including: receiving a heart beat signal indicative of the heart beat of the subject; providing counterpulsation therapy by controlling the pressure supplied to a CPD drive line in pneumatic communication with the CPD to cause the CPD to alternately fill with blood and eject blood with a timing that is determined at least in part based on the heart beat signal; while providing counterpulsation therapy, receiving a CPD drive line pressure signal indicative of the pressure in the CPD drive line; and adjusting the pressure supplied to the drive line based at least in part on the drive line pressure signal.

Claim (Index 38):
The apparatus of  claim 36 , wherein the controller is further configured to receive a pressure upper limit corresponding to an upper limit of the pressure in the CPD drive line and a pressure lower limit corresponding to a lower limit of the pressure in the CPD drive line, wherein the controller adjusts the pressure supplied to the CPD drive line by:\n in response to determining that the pressure in the CPD drive line exceeds the pressure upper limit, venting the pressure chamber until the pressure in the CPD drive line is below the pressure upper limit, and in response to determining that the pressure in the CPD drive line is below the pressure lower limit, opening a valve corresponding to the vacuum chamber until the pressure in the CPD drive line is above the pressure lower limit.
