Abstract
A pulsatile fluid pump apparatus includes an integral pump assembly employing a flexible diaphragm in a diaphragm assembly; a pulsatile fluid pump system including a control housing, for removably receiving the integral pump assembly, the control housing and the integral pump assembly being configured for operation, in a first mode, so that the pulsatile fluid pump system reciprocally actuates the diaphragm assembly to cause pumping automatically; and a manual driver assembly, wherein the integral pump assembly is configured, in a second mode, in the absence of actuation of the diaphragm assembly by the pulsatile fluid pump system, to removably receive the manual driver assembly to support manual actuation and operation of the diaphragm assembly.
