Centrifugal blood pumps are considered to be generally superior to the traditionally used roller pumps in cardiopulmonary bypass. In our institute a new lightweight centrifugal sealless blood pump with a unique spherical thrust bearing and with a magnetic coupling was developed, the HiFlow. The small design makes the pump suitable for applications in complex devices or close to a patient. Hemolysis tests were carried out in which the BioMedicus pump BP-80 and a roller pump were used as reference. The centrifugal pump HiFlow showed the least blood trauma within the group of investigated pumps. In summary, the HiFlow pump concept with its low priming volume and limited contact surfaces shows great potential for clinical applications in cardiopulmonary bypass. Also, the possibility of using the pump as a short-term assist device with an option of a pulsatile driving mode was demonstrated.
