A centrifugal blood pump apparatus has a centrifugal pump section
including an impeller having a first magnetic material therein and
rotating inside the housing to feed a fluid by a centrifugal force
generated during a rotation thereof; an impeller rotational torque
generation section having a rotor having a magnet for attracting the
first magnetic material of the impeller thereto, and a motor for rotating
the rotor; and a dynamic pressure groove formed at a portion, of an inner
surface of the housing, located at a rotor-disposed side thereof. The
centrifugal blood pump apparatus further includes an electromagnet for
attracting the impeller in a direction opposite to a direction in which
the magnet of the rotor attracts the impeller and helping the impeller
levitate.
