Abstract:
Both the number and the size of microair bubbles in a bloodstream are accurately determined optically, independently of oxygen saturation, by monitoring the intensity of light transmission in the 800-850 nm range through the bloodstream and indicating the count and amplitude range of peaks in the monitored intensity.
Softshell Reservoir With Integrated Cardiotomy Reservoir
Roger J. Elgas - Anaheim CA Robert G. Gremel - Huntington Beach CA Michael R. Van Driel - Fountain Valley CA
Assignee:
Medtronic, Inc. - Minneapolis MN
International Classification:
A61M 3700
US Classification:
604 4
Abstract:
A softshell blood reservoir incorporates an integral flexible cardiotomy section in which a filter/defoamer unit is supported in a semirigid cage. The reservoir also incorporates a storage section and a mixing section. The three sections can selectively communicate with each other. Cardiotomy blood is supplied to the cardiotomy section, and venous blood is supplied to the mixing section. The storage section holds varying amounts of cardiotomy blood to maintain a constant mixed blood output from the mixing section. Only the filter/defoamer unit and the mixing section need be primed.
Method And Apparatus For Manufacturing Wound Tube Bundles

Assignee:
Dideco S.p.A.
International Classification:
A61M 103
US Classification:
2424333
Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for making tube bundles for various medical applications such as oxygenators, dialyzers, and heat exchangers is described. The tube bundle is suitable for use as a heat exchanger in, for example, a blood cardioplegia circuit. The winding apparatus axially winds a flexible tube around a winding core. The apparatus includes a tube shuttle, a shuttle driver and a core driver. The core driver rotates the winding core to distribute the tube on the winding core in layers.
Gasketless Seal For Rotatable Blood Reservoir Connector
A gasketless seal is formed between a flow tube in a venous reservoir and a rotatable connector telescoped into it, by forming on the connector one or more annular ribs of slightly larger diameter than the inner diameter. When the connector is inserted into the flow tube, the rib is partially crushed against the inner wall of the flow tube and forms a tight, rotatable seal with it.
Hardshell Venous Reservoir With Rotatable Cardiotomy Section
The cardiotomy inlet connectors of a hardshell venous reservoir are mounted on a turret which is rotatable about the vertical axis of the cover and is in communication with the cardiotomy filter defoamer chamber. The venous inlet connector in turn is mounted on the turret for rotation about the axis of the turret. An axial extension of the venous inlet connector fits sealingly into a venous duct which extends along the axis of the cardiotomy chamber.
Half-Defined Inlet Connector For Hardshell Reservoirs
In a connector for a hardshell venous reservoir, improved positioning and better line holding ability is provided by forming a line-retaining barb on only the upper half of the connector. A dual-size or combo connector using this principle is also disclosed.
Strain Gage Measurement Of Blood Volume In Soft-Shell Venous Reservoirs
Michael R. Van Driel - Fountain Valley CA Darren S. Gray - Grand Junction CO Victor C. H. Lam - Honolulu HI Jill E. Uyeno - Honolulu HI Yu-Tung Wong - Huntington Beach CA
Assignee:
Medtronic, Inc. - Minneapolis MN
International Classification:
A61B 600
US Classification:
73149
Abstract:
The blood volume contained in a soft-shell venous reservoir is measured by using strain gauges to detect variations in the expansion stress imposed upon the reservoir material or a film overlying the reservoir as the reservoir fills.
A softshell reservoir has threaded fittings, one on each side of a central axis. Venous and cardiotomy blood are mixed in a mixer which screwthreadedly engages either of these fittings so the reservoir can be positioned on the right or the left of the perfusionist without crossed lines, and with a minimum of priming volume. A threaded outlet fitting may be provided on the central axis to cooperate with threaded outlet tubing to facilitate packaging and sterilizing, as well as setup and disposal.
