#2355 (Implant: Feb 2, 1965 - Death: Feb 18, 1965), 1965
Scope and Contents
This series documents the experiment data gathered in animal tests of the MAV, alternately referred to as the mechanical booster heart (MBH). The vast majority of the folders contain the raw data and handwritten notes recorded during the implantation of the U-shaped MAV model by Kantrowitz and such colleagues as Paul-Andre Chaptal, Franz Gradel, Toru Okura, Tetsuzo Akutsu, and Wladimir Schilt. All experiment logs, notes, ECG recordings, pathology reports, autopsies, and photographs are of animal experiments (primarily dogs). Sub-series within the MAV series are based on investigator or experiment series names and are in rough chronological order. Folders within these sub-series are arranged alphabetically by folder title or numerically by experiment number, although the Mechanical Booster Heart Tracings are arranged chronologically. An alphabetically arranged General sub-series at the end gathers together various MAV-related records, including random data, correspondence, and patent application material.
