ABSTRACT:
A blood pump system includes a housing having an inlet port and an outlet port, a rotor rotated in the housing for pumping blood, and a motor for rotating the rotor. The blood pump system includes a motor current measuring function, and a backflow detecting function for detecting a backflow of blood by use of the motor current value continuously measured by the motor current measuring function.
