MiFlow™ VAD

How It Works

The MiFlow™ VAD is a fully magnetically levitated rotary blood pump that uses WorldHeart's MagLev technology 'engine' that powers both the MiFlow™ VAD and the PediaFlow® VAD. It will also use the same multi-disciplinary computer-based modeling process that has led to efficient design and development of the PediaFlow® VAD.

The pump, MagLev 'engine' and motor designs from these devices are being adapted to provide the desired improvements in biocompatibility, reliability, and quality of life for the MiFlow™ patient population.
