Abstract

See full text

An integrated control module is provided for a ventricular assist device. A housing receives a power monitoring/switching circuit, a main receptacle, and a quasi-internal backup receptacle. The main receptacle within the housing receives a main battery. The main receptacle is configured for manual installation and removal of the main battery without requiring any separate tool. The quasi-internal backup receptacle within the housing receives a backup battery having a battery capacity less than the main battery. The backup receptacle includes a locking mechanism that requires use of a separate tool to unlock the locking mechanism for removing the backup battery. The backup battery is installed and removed without disturbing power supplied from a main battery in the main receptacle to the power monitoring/switching circuit.
