Patent number: 10328260Abstract: A disposable electrical stimulation device and method for providing therapeutic treatment and pain management in a convenient, compact configuration. Electrode size and shape and relative configuration can be varied according to an intended application and use, or a universal configuration can be provided for use on almost any area of the body. The common structure of communicatively coupled dual electrodes including control circuitry and a power source accommodates a range of different sizes, configurations, stimulation treatment intensities, and other physical and electrical characteristics that can be pre-customized and packaged for specific, limited time use. The device can therefore be used in methods of providing therapy, managing pain, and achieving other treatment goals by electrical stimulation.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2017Date of Patent: June 25, 2019Assignee: DJO, LLCInventors: Pierre-Yves Mueller, Marshall Masko, Pierre-Yves Lampo, Klaus Schonenberger, Felix Buhlmann, Steve Guex, Gary L. Moore, Patrick Lavalley

Patent number: 9808619Abstract: Electrotherapy systems and methods for delivering an electrostimulation treatment program to a user while reducing the risk of inducing cardiac fibrillation. The systems and methods detect electrostimulation treatment program delivery characteristics, including a pulse intensity above a preset limit; a pulse duration above a preset limit; an inappropriately compensated pulse; a charge per pulse above a predetermined limit; a current improperly exiting from a stimulation channel; a current present outside of a pulse; an excitation pulse and a compensation pulse generated on different channels; an inter-pulse time less than a predetermined limit; and a time between an excitation and a compensation pulse greater than a predetermined limit. The limits are selected in relation to an objective of reducing the risk of inducing cardiac fibrillation.Type: GrantFiled: February 10, 2012Date of Patent: November 7, 2017Assignee: Encore Medical Asset CorporationInventors: Felix Buhlmann, Etienne Dunant, Steve Guex, David Truffer, Pierre-Yves Mueller
