Known as "Big Blue" for its light blue
exterior finish and its washing machine-sized
dimensions, the 400-pound driver has been used
since the 1980s. In Europe, they are being replaced,
outside the operating room, by the Excor portable
driver, a 20-pound unit that allows stable artificial
heart patients to recover at home.
