Patent number: 11844743Abstract: A CPR device having a base member configured to be placed underneath a patient, a chest compression mechanism configured to deliver CPR chest compressions to the patient, a support leg configured to support the chest compression mechanism at a distance from the base member, a clamp mechanism coupled to the support leg, and a release mechanism coupled to the support leg and the clamp mechanism. The clamp mechanism is configured to attach the support leg to a lock component of the base member in a latch-closed configuration and to release the support leg from the lock component in a latch-open configuration. The clamp mechanism is further configured to transition from the latch-closed configuration to the latch-open configuration when the lock component of the base member impacts an external portion of the clamp mechanism without the release mechanism being pulled away from the base member.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2021Date of Patent: December 19, 2023Assignee: PHYSIO-CONTROL, INC.Inventor: Thomas Falk

Publication number: 20230381061Abstract: A CPR feedback system, software and methods are provided. A top height sensor can be used to track the height of the patient's chest during the CPR chest compressions, by detecting a top aspect of its location. A depth module may generate, from a detected top aspect, a depth value for a depth reached by a current compression. A counter may determine a compressions number, e.g. for the current compression. A memory may store a depth variable that can return different target values for the target depths of individual compressions. A user interface has an output device that may output an indication for the rescuer, which reflects how well the depth value of the current compression matched a corresponding target value for it. The target values may be set so as to follow a preset profile, or change according to optional measurements of force and other parameters.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 3, 2023Publication date: November 30, 2023Applicant: Physio-Control, Inc.Inventors: Fred William Chapman, Gary Debardi

Patent number: 11830613Abstract: A prehospital telemedicine system comprises a physiologic monitor; an electronic patient care reporting system (ePCR) system; and a point-of-care blood analyzer communicatively coupled to the physiologic monitor and the ePCR system. The point-of-care blood analyzer is configured to perform an analysis of a blood sample based on an indication of a need for a specific blood analysis provided by one of the physiologic monitor and the ePCR system, and to automatically transmit a result of the analysis to a remote data receiving system. The indication of a need for a specific blood analysis may be based upon any one of the following: vital signs data obtained for a patient by the physiologic monitor; and/or current documentation or past medical history captured on or available through the ePCR system.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2021Date of Patent: November 28, 2023Assignee: Physio-Control, Inc.Inventors: Robert G.

Publication number: 20230355468Abstract: A CPR machine (100) is configured to perform, on a patient's (182) chest, compressions that alternate with releases. The CPR machine includes a compression mechanism (148), and a driver system (141) configured to drive the compression mechanism. A force sensing system (149) may sense a compression force, and the driving can be adjusted accordingly if there is a surprise. For instance, driving may have been automatic according to a motion-time profile, which is adjusted if the compression force is not as expected (850). An optional chest-lifting device (152) may lift the chest between the compressions, to assist actively the decompression of the chest. A lifting force may be sensed, and the motion-time profile can be adjusted if the compression force or the lifting force is not as expected.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 13, 2023Publication date: November 9, 2023Applicant: PHYSIO-CONTROL, INC.Inventors: Anders Nilsson, Jonas Lagerstrom, Bo Mellberg, Anders Jeppsson, Marcus Ehrstedt, Bjarne Madsen Hardig, Fredrik Arnwald, Erik von Schenck, Paul Rasmusson, Sara Lindroth, Fred Chapman, Ryan Landon, Mitchell A.

Patent number: 11792554Abstract: Disclosed systems and methods include electronic devices attached to a patient or object that transmit data to other devices over a secure communication channel. The devices can track and/or monitor object(s) and/or patient(s) and transmit the tracked and/or monitored data to other electronic devices. Such data can include monitored patient physiological parameter(s) received and/or sensed by the device, for example. A master of the two devices transmits a communication signal to another device that, in response, initiates a secure wireless communication channel, causes one or more modules on the device to be powered, and, when powered, transmits the tracked and/or sensed physiological data over the secure wireless communication channel to the master device. Some example master devices transmit the communication signal with an instruction to the device to activate an onboard power source that later may be disconnected after the tracked and/or physiological data is transmitted.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 2021Date of Patent: October 17, 2023Assignee: Physio-Control, Inc.Inventors: Robert Greenewald, Ryan W. Apperson, Craig Windish, Matthew Lawrence Bielstein
