Patent number: 9460640Abstract: A versatile multi-function modular pulse duplicator system having multiple modules each universally and fluidly connected to each other via universal connectors. Each module being detachable from another module and the plurality of modules can be rearranged in different sequence or quantity as the user desires for specifically designed hemodynamic simulations. Some modules have specific functions by having a pump, a compliance chamber, a resistance mechanism, or a fluid reservoir. Optional peripheral modules that simulate anatomical subsystems can be fluidly coupled within this system of modules, allowing studying/training/product demonstration in the subsystem specifically provided, under desired cardiovascular hemodynamics. The use of universal connectors, peripheral modules, and selectively attachable/detachable modules, make this a versatile system where a user can design a simulation according to the specifics needed for product testing, product demonstration, surgical training, teaching and researching.Type: GrantFiled: October 8, 2013Date of Patent: October 4, 2016Assignee: Medical Implant Testing Lab, Inc.Inventor: Shouyan Lee

Patent number: 8800348Abstract: A testing system for testing a prosthetic valve. The system includes a housing having a main channel defines a circuitous flow path for a fluid. The solid housing also includes a chamber which in turn includes a piston having an opening at the bottom end. The piston moves in a reciprocating motion within the chamber. Further, a holding mechanism, for holding a prosthetic valve, is positioned within the main channel at either or both sides of the chamber, or within the opening in the piston. A user of the device may selectively control a flow path of the fluid between 1). having the fluid flow through the prosthetic valve installed in the piston, and 2). having no fluid passing though the piston.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2011Date of Patent: August 12, 2014Assignee: Medical Implant Testing Lab, Inc.Inventor: Shouyan Lee

Publication number: 20140076029Abstract: A load-controlled accelerated wear testing system to test cardiovascular prostheses that enables a user to tune pulse waveform by adjusting the output loading pressure of a linear motor driving the testing system. A portion of the testing system is open to the atmosphere during testing, allowing a relatively lower threshold pressure necessary to drive fluid across the prosthesis during testing. The contemplated tester can be set up in an array of multiple testers each capable of individual tuning and data-collection without undesirably cross-talking. Its novel feature of single-block construction out of a transparent material also allows direct visualization of the prosthesis during testing.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 12, 2013Publication date: March 20, 2014Inventor: Shouyan Lee

Patent number: 8500802Abstract: A prosthetic heart valve assembly includes a gasket member and a valve member including a plurality of fasteners and a plurality of engagement members corresponding to the fasteners. The fasteners and/or engagement members may be configured to guide the engagement members into engagement with the fasteners. For example, the fasteners may include U-shaped spring-biased clips, e.g., attached to a core or other portion of a sewing cuff of the gasket member, and the engagement members may include latches or barbed protrusions that engage one or more holes in the fasteners. During use, the gasket member is introduced into a tissue annulus, and secured to the annulus, e.g., using a plurality of clips directed through the sewing cuff. The valve member is then introduced into the annulus and the engagement members are snapped or otherwise guided into engagement with the fasteners to secure the valve member relative to the gasket member.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2011Date of Patent: August 6, 2013Assignee: Medtronic, Inc.Inventors: Ernest Lane, Shouyan Lee, Charles Huang
