This is called a Berlin Heart. This is an assist device, works just like a pump, that helps a failing heart. It sits outside of the body, drains blood out of the heart, and pumps it right back into the body, to augment cardiac output. What is on the bottom is the pneumatic device that drives it. This little thing saved a life of a 6 year old boy this past week. We put this kid on this pump, just in the nick of time. He made it, as he got a new heart (in a way of heart transplant) a couple of days ago. He is already sitting up on his bed, playing Nintendo.
A very good save it was.
