Publication number: 20230000551Abstract: Systems and methods for delivering energy to passageways in a patient, such as airways in the lung of a patient for treating asthma. One embodiment of a method for delivering energy to a passageway comprises positioning an access device in a lung airway of a patient and advancing an elongated body of a treatment device along the access device until an energy delivery unit at a distal portion of the elongated body projects from the access device. The method can further include expanding the energy delivery unit such that energy delivery elements contact a sidewall of the airway and activating an energy supply coupled to the treatment device such that energy is delivered to the sidewall of the airway. A single person physically operates both the access device and the treatment device while expanding the energy delivery unit and activating the energy supply.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 14, 2022Publication date: January 5, 2023Applicant: Boston Scientific Scimed, Inc.Inventors: Noah WEBSTER, Timothy DALBEC, Huy PHAN, William WIZEMAN, William EVANS, Matthew PRESTA

Publication number: 20050080360Abstract: Safety mechanisms for compression belt cartridges used in chest compression devices. The safety mechanisms include a breakable link, liner socks, belt guards and a rapid-release connector. The breakable link ensures that unsafe belt tension will not occur. The liner socks protect the patient from friction and contain the breakable link. The belt guards protect foreign objects from entering the belt drive platform. The rapid-release connector allows the belt to be removed safely even during compressions.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 14, 2003Publication date: April 14, 2005Inventors: Bob Katz, Timothy Dalbec, Gregory Hall
