US Patent:

7787945, Aug 31, 2010

Filed:

Mar 8, 2006

Appl. No.:

11/371701

Inventors:

David Greene - Fort Wayne IN, US

Assignee:

NeuroPace, Inc. - Mountain View CA

International Classification:

A61B 5/04

US Classification:

600544, 600545

Abstract:

An implantable seizure monitor can include at least one sensing electrode and an electronics module configured to detect, record and/or log neurological events. For example, the electronics module can be configured to detect brainwaves indicative of seizures, such as, for example, epileptic seizures, and to create a log indicating when such seizures occur. The implantable seizure monitor can include a cushioning member made of a soft material and configured to be implantable between the epidermis and cranium of a patient.

Inventors:

David A. Greene - Fort Wayne IN, US

Assignee:

NeuroPace, Inc. - Mountain View CA

International Classification:

A61B 5/04

US Classification:

600544, 600545

Abstract:

Methods and systems for detecting neurological events and approximating a target detection rate are disclosed. A target detection rate may be identified for the neurological event. Electrographic signals incident on a neurological event detector may be monitored. Each signal may be compared to a threshold value for a parameter. As the threshold value varies, it has a predictable effect on a detection rate of the neurological event. A rate at which the electrographic signals exceed the threshold value may be measured and compared to the target detection rate. The threshold value may be adjusted to minimize the difference between the measured detection rate and the target detection rate.

Inventors:

David Greene - Fort Wayne IN, US

International Classification:

A61N 1/05

US Classification:

607116

Abstract:

A lead fixation device for securing a medical lead in a human patient includes: a single-piece structure comprising: a top surface; a bottom surface; an outer perimeter; and an inner perimeter, the inner perimeter comprising: a diameter approximately equal to or smaller than a diameter of a burr hole into which the lead fixation device is designed to be deployed; a central bore extending longitudinally from the top surface through to the bottom surface, a portion of the central bore being located in approximately a center of the lead fixation device and comprising a central bore diameter; and at least one retention tract formed in the top surface of a cap of the lead fixation device, the retention tract configured for retaining, with an interference fit, a portion of a body of the medical lead in the lead fixation device.

International Classification:

A61N 1/05

Abstract:

An implanted neurostimulation system is configured to sense episodes of electrographic events and determine durations of episodes. Durations of electrographic events sensed by the implanted neurostimulation system are mapped with seizure probability biomarkers derived from records of the electrographic events to create a mapping function. A seizure probability biomarker that has a value desired for the operation of the implanted neurostimulation system is selected. The duration mapped to the selected seizure probability biomarker is identified and programmed into a control module of the implanted neurostimulation system as a programmed parameter that triggers the operation by the implanted neurostimulation system. The process may be repeated for other operations of the implanted neurostimulation system.

International Classification:

A61N 1/05

Abstract:

A lead fixation device for securing a first portion of a lead relative to a hole formed through a skull includes a skull attachment member having an upper surface and a lower surface and a bore extending through and between the upper surface and the lower surface. The lead fixation device also includes a lead compression mechanism integral with the skull attachment member and aligned with the bore of the skull attachment member. The lead compression mechanism defines a passageway through the lead fixation device, which passageway is characterized by a diameter that is defined by the lead compression mechanism. The lead compression mechanism is configured to transition the diameter from a first size to a second size greater than the first size upon insertion of an implant tool through the passageway, and from the second size to the first size upon removal of the implant tool from the passageway.
