BEARING DEVICE FOR A HEART SUPPORT SYSTEM, AND METHOD FOR RINSING A SPACE IN A BEARING DEVICE FOR A HEART SUPPORT SYSTEM

摘要

The invention relates to a bearing device (100) for a heart support system. The bearing device (100) comprises a stand unit (105) and an impeller (110). The stand unit (105) is designed to bear the impeller (110) rotatably. The impeller (110) is designed to rotate during an operation of the heart support system in order to convey a pump fluid stream (115). The impeller (110) is designed to enclose at least a partial section (120) of the stand unit (105) in the mounted state of the bearing device (100), wherein a space (125) for guiding a rinse fluid stream (130) is arranged between the partial section (120) and the impeller (110). At least one rinse outlet (135) is formed in the impeller (110). The rinse outlet (135) is designed to lead the rinse fluid stream (130) out of the space (125) by means of centrifugal force during the operation of the heart support system.
