US Patent:

20030040671, Feb 27, 2003

Filed:

Aug 2, 2002

Appl. No.:

10/211934

Inventors:

Christopher Somogyi - Woodinville WA, US
Fred Silverstein - Seattle WA, US
Robert Golden - Kirkland WA, US

International Classification:

A61B005/05

US Classification:

600/424000, 604/264000

Abstract:

There is disclosed a medical tube for insertion into the body of a patient. The medical tube includes a tube or device suitable for insertion into the patient's body, and a permanent magnet associated therewith. The magnet may be solid or non-solid, and may be rigid or non-rigid. In one embodiment, the magnet is hollow and associated with the medical tube such that the tube may be used for its intended purposes. In another embodiment, the magnet is solid and, after insertion into the body of the patient, is displaced such that it does not interfere with the intended use of the medical tube. In a further embodiment, the magnet is removable after placement of the medical tube.

Appl. No.:

10/676678

Inventors:

Robert Golden - Kirkland WA, US

Assignee:

Lucent Medical Systems, Inc. - Kirkland WA

International Classification:

A61B005/05

US Classification:

600424000

Abstract:

A technique for detecting and indicating an internal anatomical obstacle encountered during insertion of a medical device into the body of a patient, comprising an elongated member such as a tube, catheter, guidewire, or other device, having a location indicating element, such as a permanent magnet, flexibly coupled to its distal end, and an external detector that tracks and displays the location and orientation of the location indicating element. The flexible coupling has sufficient stiffness to maintain the orientation of the location indicating element against the forces from both gravity and flowing blood within a patient's vasculature, but allows the location indicating element to change orientation if it encounters an obstacle during insertion. The medical caregiver monitors the detector's display and determines encounters with obstacles by observing changes in the orientation of the location indicating element.

Abstract:

Embodiments of computing servers host web page pages that deliver information to users. The information relates to the acceptance of survey topics and questions to be asked, the formation of surveys from the topics and questions, and the communication of the surveys to particular devices such as mobile devices. Additionally, embodiments of the computing servers accept survey responses from the devices, facilitate compensation to the responder, process the responses, and communicate information related to the survey responses.

Assignee:

BARD ACCESS SYSTEMS, INC. - Salt Lake City UT

International Classification:

A61B 5/042
A61B 5/05

US Classification:

600374, 600409

Abstract:

A guidance system for assisting with the insertion of a needle into a patient body is disclosed. The guidance system utilizes ultrasound imaging or other suitable imaging technology. In one embodiment, the guidance system comprises an imaging device including a probe for producing an image of an internal body portion target, such as a vessel. One or more sensors are included with the probe. The sensors sense a detectable characteristic related to the needle, such as a magnetic field of a magnet included with the needle. The system includes a processor that uses data relating to the sensed characteristic to determine a 3-D position of the needle. The system includes a display for depicting the position of the needle. In other embodiments, a guidance system for guiding rigid or other medical instruments is disclosed, together with various example implementations thereof.

Assignee:

LUCENT MEDICAL SYSTEMS, INC. - Kirkland WA

International Classification:

A61B 1/018

US Classification:

600104

Abstract:

An endoscopic device has a tubular body with a retention channel substantially extending axially along the tube body. A medical tube is removably arranged in the retention channel and held in place by friction. A cable assembly is arranged between the medical tube and the surface of the retention channel. The cable assembly includes a shaped end fixture that is drawn between the medical tube and the retention channel when the cable is pulled, thereby releasing the medical tube from the tube body.

Inventors:

Robert N. Golden - Kirkland WA

Assignee:

Lucent Medical Systems, Inc. - Kirkland WA

International Classification:

A61B 505

US Classification:

600424

Abstract:

A device to detect the location of a magnet coupled to an indwelling medical device within a patient uses three or more sets of magnetic sensors each having sensor elements arranged in a known fashion. Each sensor element senses the magnetic field strength generated by the magnet and provides data indicative of the direction of the magnet in a three-dimensional space. The device uses fundamental equations for electricity and magnetism that relate measured magnetic field strength and magnetic field gradient to the location and strength of a magnetic dipole. The device uses an iterative process to determine the actual location and orientation of the magnet. An initial estimate of the location and orientation of the magnet results in the generation of predicted magnetic field values. The predicted magnetic field values are compared with the actual measured values provided by the magnetic sensors. Based on the difference between the predicted values and the measured values, the device estimates a new location of the magnet and calculates new predicted magnetic field strength values.

International Classification:

A61B 505

US Classification:

600407

Abstract:

There is disclosed a method and device for non-invasively sensing a physical parameter within the body of a patient by employing a magnetically-based sensing device and monitoring device. The magnetically-based sensing device has a first magnet and a second magnet which generate a combined magnet field. The first and second magnets are positioned such that a change in a physical parameter causes a change in the combined magnet field, which change is monitored by the monitoring device.
