Publication number: 20230380715Abstract: Devices and methods for vascular navigation, assessment and/or diagnosis are disclosed where a location detection system generally includes an elongate body defining a lumen at least partially along a length of the elongate body. One or more sensors are positioned near or at a distal tip of the elongate body and one or more openings are defined along the elongate body in proximity to the one or more sensors. The one or more openings are configured to control a boundary distance between the one or more sensors and a fluid with a parameter of a known initial value when emitted from the one or more openings. A controller is in communication with the one or more sensors and is configured to track a change in the parameter relating to concentration over the one or more sensors and determine a position of the one or more sensors within a body.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 5, 2023Publication date: November 30, 2023Applicant: Piccolo Medical, Inc.Inventors: Alexey SALAMINI, Jonathan SILBERSTEIN, John MCKENZIE, Daniel R.

Patent number: 11826137Abstract: Devices and methods for vascular navigation, assessment and/or diagnosis are described which determine the location of the tip of a vascular catheter using the introduction of a medium with a measurable parameter (e.g., temperature, light reflection, sound reflection, etc.) and sensing and measuring the measurable parameter as the catheter is advanced. Measurements of the parameter are tracked over time, recorded and analyzed. The value of the parameter and/or the shape of the parameter value vs. time curve may be used in the analysis. For example, curve amplitude, variability, standard deviation, slope, etc. may be used in the analysis of catheter location.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2021Date of Patent: November 28, 2023Assignee: Piccolo Medical, Inc.Inventors: Alexey Salamini, Eric Yu, Daniel R.

Publication number: 20230285719Abstract: Devices and methods for vascular navigation, assessment, treatment and/or diagnosis are disclosed. The system generally comprises an elongate body sized for introduction and translation through a catheter lumen. One or more openings may be located at or in proximity to a distal end of the elongate body and a sensor is positioned at or in proximity to the distal end. The sensor is configured to measure at least one parameter of a mixture of a first fluid and a second fluid after the first fluid is emitted from the openings and into the second fluid when the distal end is advanced beyond a distal opening of the catheter lumen. A controller in communication with the sensor is configured to receive a signal indicative of the at least one parameter and is further configured to obtain a position of the sensor within a body of a subject based upon the signal.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 2, 2023Publication date: September 14, 2023Applicant: Piccolo Medical, Inc.Inventors: Alexey SALAMINI, Jonathan SILBERSTEIN, Augustus SHANAHAN, Kevin MCDERMOTT, John MCKENZIE, Mark SPECTOR, Daniel R.
