Publication number: 20200206466Abstract: Described and illustrated is a medical probe that includes a generally tubular member with a tip portion coupled to the tubular member. A puller wire is disposed in the tubular member and configured for movement along the longitudinal axis to bend the tip portion with respect to the longitudinal axis. An anchor is disposed within the tubular member and connected to the puller wire such that the anchor has a t-bar. The t-bar includes a generally transverse extension and a ferrule connected to the puller wire. The t-bar has a polymeric member disposed on the generally transverse extension to increase a strength of the anchor with respect to forces applied to the puller wire to deflect the tip of the medical probe.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 9, 2019Publication date: July 2, 2020Inventors: Thanh Nguyen, Anand Rao, Joy Baybay, Keshava Datta

Publication number: 20200109581Abstract: Latch mechanisms adapted to prevent unauthorized displacement of a latch bolt from an extended, locked position to a retracted, unlocked position. The latch mechanisms prevent the failure of a latch bolt of one latch mechanism to return to an extended lock position from interfering with the ability of a latch bolt of an inter-related latch mechanism from being able to return to an extended, locked position. Further embodiments provide a mounting bracket mounted to a door to allow the associated latch mechanism to be indirectly secured to the door. Additionally, the mounting bracket may have a plurality of mounting orifices that allow the mounting bracket to be used with a wide range of latch mechanisms, as well as provide adjustable attachment of the latch mechanism to the mounting bracket.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 8, 2019Publication date: April 9, 2020Inventors: Paul R. Arlinghaus, Mohammed Maksood Ali, Jonah M. Pattar, Kemparaju Putaswamy, Sushanth Anand Rao Kondi, Matthew S. Graham, Subashchandra Rai, Keshav Tantri

Publication number: 20200030024Abstract: A catheter tip may be a fabricated as a planar flexible circuit, e.g., via lithography, as having a first planar segment and a second planar segment that includes various electrodes on different sectors that are insulated from each other. The tip may be deformed to have a non-planar configuration, e.g., cylindrical, and then assembled onto a catheter. The catheter may be used to monitor ECG signals and temperature and to precisely deliver ablative energy to tissues via the various electrodes. ECG signals and temperature may be monitored for one sector while ablation energy is being delivered to another sector.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 2, 2019Publication date: January 30, 2020Inventors: Anand RAO, Christopher T. BEECKLER, Rajesh PENDEKANTI, Keshava DATTA

Publication number: 20190316383Abstract: A center slide assembly for a multi-point exit device. Upper and lower spool assemblies may be displaced from first positions to second positions along an inner region of a center slide. The displacement of the spool assemblies may displace upper and lower pull cables so as to retract latch mechanisms from extended positions to retracted positions. A first latching pin may be displaced, along with the displacement of the upper spool assembly, along an abutment surface of a tilting link so as to pivotally displace the tilting link from an unlocked position to a locked position. Displacement of the lower spool assembly may displace a second latching pm to a position wherein the second latching pin may be received and retained within a jog of the tilting link when the tilting link is in the locked position, which may thereby retain the associated latch mechanism in the retracted position.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 19, 2019Publication date: October 17, 2019Inventors: Sushanth Anand Rao Kondi, Mohammed Maksood Ali, Kemparaju Putaswamy, Michael D.

Publication number: 20190040652Abstract: A latch mechanism having an adjustment mechanism that adjusts the distance to which a latch bolt extends into a mating recess. The adjustment mechanism may include a driver component and a driven component. Rotation of the driver component about a first axis may displace the driven component, thereby causing the position of the latch bolt to be adjusted along a second axis that is non-parallel to the first axis. According to certain embodiments, the first axis is perpendicular to the second axis. The latch mechanism may also include an inner housing that is displaced as the latch bolt is extended into, and retracted from, a mating recess in an adjacent structure. Further, the position of the inner housing may remain generally static as the position of the latch bolt is adjusted along the second axis via operation of the adjustment mechanism.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 9, 2018Publication date: February 7, 2019Inventors: Sushanth Anand Rao Kondi, Mohammed Maksood Ali

Patent number: 8915960Abstract: A prosthetic tricuspid remodeling annuloplasty ring for use in tricuspid valve repairs to provide annular support after reconstructive valve surgery. The ring maintains an optimal annular dimension to prevent excessive dilatation of the natural valve annulus while adapting to the dynamic motion of the tricuspid annulus during the cardiac cycle. An exemplary ring features a waveform contour and may be constructed of a titanium core having a varying cross-section for selective flexibility for good Z-axis or out-of plane movement. The “waveform” contour and selective flexibility of the different segments of this ring are designed to adapt to the complex motion of the annulus. This reduces the stress on the anatomical structures and therefore minimizes the risk of arrhythmia and ring dehiscence.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2011Date of Patent: December 23, 2014Assignee: Edwards Lifesciences CorporationInventors: Alain F. Carpentier, William C. Brunnett, Louis A. Campbell, Da-Yu Chang, Steven Ford, John F. Migliazza, Anand Rao

Patent number: 8568476Abstract: A holder for an annuloplasty ring having a template defining a proximal face opposite the distal face, and a peripheral edge about which the annuloplasty ring conforms. The annuloplasty ring anchors to the template using one or more flexible filaments. The template includes a single cutting well on its proximal face over which the flexible filament is suspended. Desirably, the single cutting well is located adjacent the peripheral edge so as to be away from any handle connections for ease of access. The flexible filament emerges above the proximal face of the template at only one location at the cutting well, thus presenting a one cut quick-release structure that is highly visible to the surgeon.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2012Date of Patent: October 29, 2013Assignee: Edwards Lifesciences CorporationInventors: Anand Rao, Hilda Z.
