Abstract:

Techniques for pharmacovigilence adverse-event processing include receiving data comprising medical narrative text and generating, based on the received data, using a recurrent neural network encoder, a fixed-length context vector representation of the medical narrative text. The fixed-length context vector representation may then be queried, using a recurrent neural network decoder, to generate one or more hidden states. A first set of the one or more hidden states may be processed to generate an assessment of seriousness represented by the medical narrative text, and a second set of the one or more hidden states may be processed to generate a plurality of respective assessments of whether respective individual words of the medical narrative text correspond to one or more adverse events.

International Classification:

A61M 25/09
A61M 25/01
A61M 25/06
A61M 25/00

Abstract:

An insertion tool for inserting a catheter into a patient's body includes a housing in which at least a portion of the catheter is initially disposed, a hollow needle distally extending from the housing with the catheter pre-disposed over the needle, and a guidewire pre-disposed in the needle. The insertion tool can include a guidewire advancement assembly that can include a first finger pad for selectively advancing the guidewire distally past a distal end of the needle in preparation for distal advancement of the catheter. The insertion tool can further include a catheter advancement assembly that can include a second finger pad for selectively advancing the catheter into the patient. The first and second finger pads can be positioned such that a user can begin to advance the second finger pad after advancing the first finger pad without substantially re-positioning the thumb or finger of the user.

A61M 25/09
A61M 25/01

Abstract:

An insertion tool for inserting a catheter into a patient's body is disclosed. The insertion tool unifies needle insertion, guidewire advancement, and catheter insertion in a single device. In one embodiment, the insertion tool comprises a housing in which at least a portion of the catheter is initially disposed, a hollow needle distally extending from the housing with at least a portion of the catheter pre-disposed over the needle, and a guidewire pre-disposed within the needle. A guidewire advancement assembly is also included for selectively advancing the guidewire distally past a distal end of the needle in preparation for distal advancement of the catheter. In one embodiment a catheter advancement assembly is also included for selectively advancing the catheter into the patient. Each advancement assembly can include a slide or other actuator that enables a user to selectively advance the desired component. Guidewire and catheter locking systems are also disclosed.
