Patent number: 11633200Abstract: A medical device may include an elongated body, a balloon positioned at a distal portion of the elongated body, and one or more pressure-wave emitters positioned along a central longitudinal axis of the elongated body within the balloon. The one or more pressure-wave emitters may be configured to propagate pressure waves radially outward through the fluid to fragment a calcified lesion at the target treatment site. The at least one of the one or more pressure-wave emitters may include an electronic emitter comprising a first electrode and a second electrode. The first electrode and the second electrode may be arranged to define a spark gap between the first electrode and the second electrode, and the second electrode may comprise a portion of a hypotube.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2022Date of Patent: April 25, 2023Assignee: FastWave Medical Inc.Inventors: Edward Anderson, Randy Beyreis, Scott Nelson, JiChao Sun, Brady Hatcher, Laura Ortega, Joe Duerr, Ae-Suk Pauling, Daryl Kiefer, Bryan Goh, Dannah Dean, Marc Simmon, Curtis Goreham-Voss, Parker Hagen, Tristan Tieso, Lauren Eno

Publication number: 20200400596Abstract: A device and a method for sensing the electrolytic conductivity of a fluid are disclosed. The device comprises a battery (1) having an oxidizing electrode (2) and a reducing electrode (3) connected by a hydrophilic and/or a porous material or an empty receptacle (4) providing a microfluidic cavity for a fluid (10), said battery (1) being activated upon the addition of said fluid (10) therein and providing electrical energy while the fluid (10) impregnates by capillarity said microfluidic cavity; and at least one instrument (5) connected to the battery (1). The instrument (5) has an equivalent impedance that makes the battery (1) work at a specific operating point allowing determining or discriminating among values of electrolytic conductivity of the fluid (10) and includes means for quantifying the electrolytic conductivity of the fluid (10), thereby inferring the conductivity of the fluid (10) from the performance of the battery (1).Type: ApplicationFiled: March 11, 2019Publication date: December 24, 2020Applicants: CONSEJO SUPERIOR DE INVESTIGACIONES CIENTÍFICAS, INSTITUCIÓ CATALANA DE RECERCA I ESTUDIS AVANÇATS (ICREA)Inventors: Laura ORTEGA TAÑÁ, Anna LLORELLA BUSTINS, Juan Pablo ESQUIVEL BOJORQUEZ, Neus SABATÉ VIZCARRA
