Patent number: 9687174Abstract: A medical device position guidance system having a noninvasive medical device communicable with an invasive medical device. The system provides outputs useful to assess the position of an invasive medical device in an animal, such as a human. A magnetic field is used to gather information about the position of the invasive device. Radio waves are used to communicate this information between the noninvasive device and the invasive device.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2012Date of Patent: June 27, 2017Assignee: Corpak Medsystems, Inc.Inventors: David S. Jaggi, Donald A. Kay, Joseph P. Killam, Salvatore Manzella, Jr., King Y. Moy, David K. Platt, Shawn G. Purnell, Alan R. Shapiro, Michael C. Shaughnessy, Mark C. Witt, Christopher Zachara

Patent number: 9585599Abstract: This invention relates to a method of catheter and radiating coil location in a human body and in particular to the determination over time of the location of the tip of a catheter as it is inserted and during its use in the body. In particular when a radiating coil is used in conjunction with a catheter, a coil locating device can be used to determine the distance the coil is from the device and hence its depth in the body of a patient. To assist a clinician using the coil-locating device, a display is provided that shows both a reference image of a part or portion of a body (non-subject body) and an image of the coil located on the display with reference to the reference image. This is achieved by locating the coil-locating device on or over a predetermined landmark on the patient's body. The coil and its associated signal wires can be incorporated into a stylet, guide wire or a catheter.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2013Date of Patent: March 7, 2017Assignee: CORPAK MEDSYSTEMS, INC.Inventors: William John Besz, Donald Philip Chorley, Stuart Brasted, Robert Anthony Walker

Publication number: 20140196723Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus for securing nasal tubes are disclosed. An exemplary system includes a bridle, a magnetic portion connected to the bridle, a delivery probe, a retrieval probe, and a clamp. The delivery probe includes an elongated member having proximal and distal ends, the distal end configured to deliver the magnetic portion, and a bridle lock configured to release the bridle upon actuation of an actuator. The retrieval probe includes an elongated member having proximal and distal ends, the distal end including a magnetic portion configured to magnetically couple with the other magnetic portion, and a magnetic coupling indicator configured to provide an indication in response to a magnetic coupling. The clamp includes a channel portion with an inside diameter larger than an outside diameter of a nasal tube. The clamp is configured to secure the nasal tube following placement of the bridle by the delivery and retrieval probes.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 4, 2013Publication date: July 17, 2014Applicant: Corpak MedSystems, Inc.Inventors: Don Kirkpatrick, Crystal Koelper, Jill Lazar, Michael Masino, Shawn Purnell, Michael C.
