The CFTAH080 design showing the rotating assembly with left and right impeller regions, the thin connecting journal bearing blood flow path, and the right pump aperture. The right pump moves the blood returning from the body, via the right atrium (RA), to the lungs. The left pump receives the blood returning from the lungs, via the left atrium (LA), and pumps that blood throughout the body. (A) Side view of rotating assembly and blood flow path. (B) Isometric view of rotating assembly and blood flow path. (C) Left pump impeller with six primary blades and six splitter blades. (D) Right pump impeller with seven primary impeller blades. The direction of rotation is indicated by arrows.
