US Patent:

6748269, Jun 8, 2004

Filed:

Oct 17, 2001

Appl. No.:

09/982116

Inventors:

Julie Thompson - White Bear Lake MN
Eric G. Lovett - Roseville MN
Janice Jenkins - Chicago IL

Assignee:

Cardiac Pacemakers, Inc. - St. Paul MN

International Classification:

A61N 139

US Classification:

607 4, 600515, 600518

Abstract:

An algorithm for detection of tachycardias and for discriminating between supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) and ventricular tachycardia (VT) when a 1:1 tachycardia condition is present that can be implemented in an implantable cardiac rhythm management device. Variability measures of AV and VA intervals during the tachycardia are computed and used to distinguish between SVT and VT.

Filed:

May 22, 2002

Appl. No.:

10/153458

Inventors:

Robert Arzbaecher - Chicago IL, US
Janice Jenkins - Ann Arbor MI, US

International Classification:

A61B005/04

US Classification:

600/509000

Abstract:

A cardiac arrest monitor and alarm system including an implantable medical device having at least three subcutaneous electrodes positioned with respect to a heart organ and forming a subcutaneous orthogonal lead configuration to continuously monitor an electrocardiographic signal of the heart organ. An implantable microdevice, operatively connected to the subcutaneous medical device, detects a deviation from a normal heart electrical activity and emits a signal to an external receiver. Upon verification of the signal from the microdevice, the external receiver activates a programmed annunciator circuit to alert bystanders and activate a communication link automatically transmitting an alarm and the electrocardiographic signal to a remote transceiver.

International Classification:

A61B005/0402

US Classification:

600515000, 600509000

Abstract:

A cardiac arrest monitor and alarm system including an implantable medical device having at least three electrodes, preferably but not necessarily subcutaneous, positioned with respect to a heart organ and forming an orthogonal lead configuration to continuously monitor an electrocardiographic signal of the heart organ. A microdevice, preferably but not necessarily operatively connected to the medical device, detects a deviation from a normal heart electrical activity and emits a signal to an external receiver. Upon verification of the signal from the microdevice, the external receiver activates a programmed annunciator circuit to alert bystanders to deploy an AED and/or activate a communication link automatically transmitting an alarm and the electrocardiographic signal to a remote transceiver.

Filed:

Aug 31, 1992

Appl. No.:

7/938402

International Classification:

B42D 300

US Classification:

281 31

Abstract:

An apparatus and method for holding photograph albums in localized association with photo negatives corresponding to the photoprints in the respective albums. The holder preferred embodiment includes three substantially rectangular panels, a first spine pivotally connecting a first one of the panels and a second one of the panels, and a second spine longitudinal parallel to the first spine pivotally connecting the second panel and a third one of the panels. Album retaining means are carried by the panels for retaining the photo albums thereon, and negatives storage means are also carried by the panels for storing photo negatives in respective localized association with the album retaining means.
