This is a paper on the AbioCor Heart System written by our five-person student group during a semester-long introductory engineering course for materials science engineering. The paper includes a detailed description on under which medical conditions the use of this device is appropriate, a description of alternatives and predecessors to the AbioCor Heart System, the components that make up the AbioCor System, and a design recommendation for improving the AbioCor System. I wrote this paper with a group of other undergraduate engineering students for an introductory engineering class focusing on material use in biomedical devices.
