VCR:
Centrifugal Device
• 1 moving part
• passive suspension
• RPM 2-5k
• 2-10ltrs
• high tolerances

Other:
Axial Device
• 1 moving part
• active magnetic suspension
• RPM 15-25k
• 1-6 Ltrs
• very tight tolerances


It is clear that the VCR device is the best (Low RPM; high tolerances, stronger blood flow when needed).


NB: Thoratec has a second generation device.
