Patent number: 11957408Abstract: A medical device that includes a handle, a sheath extending from the handle, and a tool within the sheath and movable relative to the sheath. The handle includes an inner body and an outer body disposed over the inner body. The outer body is movable relative to the inner body. The handle includes a first actuator secured to the tool. The first actuator has an actuated state permitting movement of the tool relative to the sheath in response to moving the outer body relative to the inner body. The handle includes a second actuator secured to the sheath. The second actuator has an actuated state permitting movement of the sheath relative to the tool in response to moving the second actuator relative to the outer body. An unactuated state of the first actuator and an unactuated state of the second actuator prevents movement of the tool relative to the sheath.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2020Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: BOSTON SCIENTIFIC MEDICAL DEVICE LIMITEDInventors: Katrina Hansen, John B. Golden, Bernadette Durr, Gregory Hughes, David Callaghan, Balaji Aswatha Narayana, Subodh Morey, Junaid Shaikh

Publication number: 20190321157Abstract: A number of gallbladder treatment devices and methods treating gallstone disease are included. A gallbladder treatment device has a structure secured within the gallbladder to maintain gallstones and gallstone fragments within the gallbladder interior and distal to the gallbladder neck. A gallbladder treatment device may be put into therapeutic use by first accessing the gallbladder interior and then advancing the gallbladder treatment device into the gallbladder interior. The gallbladder treatment device is then positioned within the gallbladder interior in an orientation to maintain gallstones and gallstone fragments on one side of the device and away from or distal to the gallbladder neck.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 25, 2019Publication date: October 24, 2019Inventors: Matthew John CALLAGHAN, Kevin Z. CHAO, John Avi ROOP, Joelle Abra FAULKNER

Publication number: 20170246419Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein are directed to devices, systems, and methods for mixing and/or blending two or more fluids, such as gases, to produce suitable mixed or blended fluids, such as a breathable gas. For example, the system may control and/or regulate flow from of first fluid from a first source and/or flow of a second fluid from a second source. The system may include a controller that may operate or direct operation of one or more valves to control the flow of the first and second fluids, thereby producing a blended or mixed fluid that has selected concentrations or proportions (or ratios) of the first and second fluids.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 7, 2015Publication date: August 31, 2017Applicant: ONEBREATH, INC.Inventors: Matthew John Callaghan, Lawrence Edward Miller, Edward Ayrapetian

Patent number: 9707371Abstract: A ventilator includes a compressor, a storage vessel, a valve assembly communicating with the compressor, the storage vessel, and an inhalation line. A controller directs the valve assembly between a storage configuration where ventilation gas is delivered from the compressor into the storage vessel, and a delivery configuration where ventilation gas is delivered from the storage vessel to the inhalation line. The controller is coupled to a pressure sensor for detecting a first pressure within the storage vessel when the valve assembly is directed to the delivery configuration, and detecting subsequent pressure while ventilation gas is delivered from the storage vessel to the inhalation line, the controller determining the volume of ventilation gas delivered to the patient based at least in part on the difference between the first pressure and the subsequent pressure.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2012Date of Patent: July 18, 2017Assignee: The Board of Trustees of the Leland Stanford, Jr. UniversityInventors: Matthew John Callaghan, William Bishop, Lawrence Edward Miller, Francois Brahic
