Patent number: 11759557Abstract: Methods for monitoring patient parameters and blood fluid removal system parameters include identifying those system parameters that result in improved patient parameters or in worsened patient parameters. By comparing the patient's past responses to system parameters or changes in system parameters, a blood fluid removal system may be able to avoid future use of parameters that may harm the patient and may be able to learn which parameters are likely to be most effective in treating the patient in a blood fluid removal session.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2020Date of Patent: September 19, 2023Assignee: Mozarc Medical US LLCInventors: Martin Gerber, John Burnes, SuPing Lyu, Venkatesh R.

Patent number: 9968721Abstract: A method includes monitoring an indicator of fluid volume of a patient via a sensor device, and setting an initial fluid volume removal prescription for a blood fluid removal session based on the monitored indicator of fluid volume. The method may further include transmitting data regarding the indicator of fluid volume from the implantable sensor device to fluid removal device. The system includes a blood fluid removal device and control electronics configured to set the initial fluid removal volume and rate prescription. In some embodiments, the fluid removal device sets or calculated the initial fluid volume removal prescription based on the data received from the implantable sensor. The indicator of fluid volume may be an indicator of tissue fluid volume or an indicator of blood fluid volume.Type: GrantFiled: November 26, 2014Date of Patent: May 15, 2018Assignee: MEDTRONIC, INC.Inventors: Martin Gerber, John Burnes, Suping Lyu, VenKatesh R.
