Patent number: 8974491Abstract: Methods for adaptive cuff inflation for the purposes of occluding a limb of a subject include inflating a cuff to a pressure at or above limb occlusion pressure and periodically deflating the cuff to detect amplitude of oscillometric oscillations reaching or exceeding a predetermined threshold, whereby indicating that the cuff pressure has reached an updated systolic blood pressure. Selecting the cuff to be wide enough to define limb occlusion pressure at or below the systolic blood pressure assures that this maneuver does not compromise cessation of blood flow to the limb. Devices are disclosed configured to operate in at least two of the following three operating modes: a tourniquet mode, a remote conditioning mode and a blood pressure monitoring mode.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2013Date of Patent: March 10, 2015Assignee: Infarct Reduction Technologies Inc.Inventor: Boris Leschinsky

Publication number: 20140296757Abstract: Single- or dual-bladder devices for remote ischemic preconditioning and blood pressure monitoring are disclosed along with various oscillometry-based and other methods for detecting systolic and diastolic blood pressure while the ischemic preconditioning treatment is in progress. The devices and methods of the invention provide for delivery of ischemic preconditioning at the lowest effective cuff pressure while closely monitoring patient's hemodynamics. Advantageously, the device of the invention allows both ischemic preconditioning and blood pressure monitoring to be done on the same limb. Disposable battery-powered version of the device of the present invention is especially useful for emergency use with patients suffering from acute myocardial infarction, acute stroke, or acute trauma. Additional device configurations are described for use in a percutaneous intervention and vascular sealing settings.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 16, 2014Publication date: October 2, 2014Applicant: Infarct Reduction Technologies Inc.Inventor: Boris Leschinsky

Patent number: 8795323Abstract: A dual mode automatic device for delivery of remote ischemic preconditioning treatment includes a cuff and a controller configured to deliver a first regular treatment protocol or a second extended treatment protocol. Switching to an extended treatment protocol may be done by an operator for selected groups of patients such as elderly or patients with diabetes. Automatic determination of the best mode is also disclosed. Optimal delivery of remote ischemic preconditioning treatment in this individualized patient-specific manner provides strong ischemic protection to a greater number of patients.Type: GrantFiled: January 17, 2012Date of Patent: August 5, 2014Assignee: Infarct Reduction Technologies Inc.Inventor: Boris Leschinsky
