US Patent:

8594764, Nov 26, 2013

Filed:

Mar 5, 2004

Appl. No.:

10/794854

Inventors:

Jon Rice - Rancho Murieta CA, US
Barry H. Hirschowitz - Sacramento CA, US

International Classification:

A61B 5/05
A61B 5/04
H04R 29/00

US Classification:

600407, 600547, 600372, 381 56

Abstract:

An apparatus and processing method for assessing the electrical potential of cells in a living organism using a high-density sensor array having a density of at least about 9 electrodes per square inch for measuring the potential of the static and quasi-static electromagnetic fields of the group of cells proximal to each electrode, where the array can be placed overlying at least a portion of a surface of a living organism with substantially all of the electrodes electrically contactable with such surface, and the surface overlying a site containing cells of clinical interest.

International Classification:

A61F 1300

US Classification:

1283031

Abstract:

An active system for tagging and detecting a surgical implement accidentally left within a patient after the completion of a surgical procedure. A miniature electrical oscillator is attached to each implement and actuated before surgery begins. The pulsed output of each oscillator is coupled to the body's internal fluids and tissue. Before the patient is sutured, a detector, located externally from the body, is employed to sense the pulses from any remaining implements. In the event such pulses are sensed, a sensory alert is actuated and corrective action taken.
