  • Publication number: 20240188873
    Abstract: A non-invasive bodily-attached ambulatory medical monitoring and treatment device with pacing is provided. The noninvasive ambulatory pacing device includes a battery, at least one therapy electrode coupled to the battery, a memory storing information indicative of a patient's cardiac activity, and at least one processor coupled to the memory and the at least one therapy electrode. The at least one processor is configured to identify a cardiac arrhythmia within the information and execute at least one pacing routine to treat the identified cardiac arrhythmia.

  • Patent number: 11992693
    Abstract: An external wearable defibrillator for monitoring a patient for cardiac-related events is provided. The defibrillator includes ECG sensors configured to be disposed about a torso of the patient, therapy electrodes, and at least one motion sensor. The ECG sensors, therapy electrodes, and at least one motion sensor are configured to be worn continuously for an extended period of time. The defibrillator includes a wearable medical device controller including at least one processor configured to receive ECG data, receive motion data, identify at least one of ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation, initiate a treatment protocol including a defibrillation shock, and, using at least one of the ECG data or the motion data, identify a predetermined pattern for syncope. The predetermined pattern includes bradycardia. The at least one processor is further configured to record the predetermined pattern in a memory and perform an intervening action to address the predetermined pattern.

  • Publication number: 20240090779
    Abstract: A wearable treatment device for monitoring physical activity and providing therapy to a subject includes a garment, cardiac sensing electrodes configured to detect cardiac information for the subject, at least one activity sensor configured to monitor at least one of motion or position for the subject, treatment electrodes configured to deliver treatment shocks to the subject, and a controller. The controller is configured to guide the subject through a physical activity, measure the subject's performance of the physical activity using the detected cardiac information for the subject and the monitored at least one of motion or position for the subject, monitor the detected cardiac information for the subject to identify whether the subject is experiencing a treatable arrhythmia, and determine a confidence level for an identified treatable arrhythmia using the monitored at least one of motion or position for the subject.

  • Patent number: 11931126
    Abstract: A patient management system for generating customized patient reports for users is provided. The system includes communications circuitry configured to receive first physiological data from a plurality of monitoring medical devices and receive second physiological data from a plurality of therapeutic medical devices. The system also includes at least one processor configured to perform instructions configured to cause the at least one processor to receive a selection from an end user regarding a customized report on at least one of the first physiological data from the plurality of monitoring medical devices or the second physiological data from the plurality of therapeutic medical devices, determine at least one information field for the customized report based on an access level of the end user, and compile the customized report including the at least one information field and using the at least one of the first physiological data or the second physiological data.

  • Patent number: 5369033
    Abstract: A system for monitoring changes in the amount of contaminants present in a flowing stream of supercritical fluid. A sample stream is removed from a flowing stream of supercritical fluid and subjected to reduced pressure. The supercritical fluid turns into gas at the reduced pressure with the contaminants remaining in a non-gaseous form. A quartz crystal microbalance system measures changes in the amount of non-gaseous contaminants present in the sample stream. The system is useful in monitoring both cleaning processes and extraction processes utilizing supercritical fluids.
