DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): With the approval by the Food and Drug Administration in 2003 of electrically powered ventricular assist systems as destination therapy (i.e., as an alternative to cardiac transplantation), the number of patients with implanted electrically powered devices in the general population is going to steadily increase. While patients are now required to carry a spare primary battery with them at all times, patient compliance will likely become a concern of increasing importance, particularly as more elderly patients receive these implants. The goal for this program is the development of a power adapter that permits ventricular assist device (VAD) and total artificial heart (TAH) systems to safely draw power from the electrical system of most motor vehicles. The power adapter can be used as an emergency backup to normal power sources and/or as a convenience during long car trips. The power adapter is to be factory configurable to meet the power requirements of most, perhaps all, ventricular assist and total artificial heart systems.

描述（由申请人提供）： 在食品和药物管理局在2003年获得电力的心室辅助系统为目的地治疗（即作为心脏移植的替代方案）的批准下，普通人群中植入电力设备的患者数量将稳步增加。尽管现在要求患者始终随身携带备用主电池，但患者的合规性可能会成为越来越重要的关注，尤其是随着更多老年患者接受这些植入物的重要性。该程序的目标是开发一个允许心室辅助设备（VAD）和总人工心脏（TAH）系统的功率适配器，以安全地从大多数机动车的电气系统中汲取电源。电源适配器可以用作正常电源的紧急备份和/或在长途旅行期间方便。电源适配器应具有出厂配置，以满足大多数（也许是所有）心室辅助和人造心脏系统的功率要求。
