Patent number: 11419508Abstract: The presence of a cardiac pulse in a patient is determined by evaluating physiological signals in the patient. In one embodiment, a medical device evaluates optical characteristics of light transmitted into a patient to ascertain physiological signals, such as pulsatile changes in general blood volume proximate a light detector module. Using these features, the medical device determines whether a cardiac pulse is present in the patient. The medical device may also be configured to report whether the patient is in a VF, VT, asystole, or PEA condition, in addition to being in a pulseless condition, and prompt different therapies, such as chest compressions, rescue breathing, defibrillation, and PEA-specific electrotherapy, depending on the analysis of the physiological signals. Auto-capture of a cardiac pulse using pacing stimuli is further provided.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2015Date of Patent: August 23, 2022Assignee: West Affum Holdings DACInventors: James M.

Patent number: 11386283Abstract: A method operates an apparatus for tinnitus characterization, in which, in a first step, a broadband test signal having a number of signal frequencies is generated and compared with a tinnitus noise. The respective test signal is stored with an associated comparison result. A probability correlation for determining the tinnitus noise is established based on the stored test signals and comparison results. In a second step, the amplitudes of the individual signal frequencies of the test signal are varied. The first and second steps are performed repeatedly until the probability correlation reaches or exceeds a first threshold value. In a third step, the amplitudes of the individual signal frequencies of the test signal are varied with reference to the probability correlation.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2018Date of Patent: July 12, 2022Assignee: Sivantos Pte. Ltd.Inventor: Matthias Mueller-Wehlau
