The control system, type "Sinus", for an artificial heart is proposed. The use of servomechanisms in this system allows one to obtain pressure pneumopulses of any required form. The form of pneumopulses can be determined either by an external source, e. g. and analog computer, or by a built-in generator forming an electric control signal having one of three possible forms. The structural diagram of the type "Sinus" system and its brief technical specifications are given.
