Medos/HIA-assist system: first experiences with mechanical circulatory assist in infants and children

V Herwig et al. Int J Artif Organs. 1997 Dec.

Abstract

The Medos/HIA-System is a new pneumatically driven system for mechanical circulatory assist. The system is characterized by excellent efficiency at high heart rates and is available with three ventricles of 10, 25 and 60ml stroke volume. It can be used as left-, right- or biventricular assist device. Our preliminary experiences with this novel system for support of infants and children are reported.
