  • Optical pressure measurement devices, methods, and systems
    Patent number: 11920997
    Abstract: A pressure measurement system includes a pressure pod with two chambers separated by a diaphragm such that a deformation/movement of the diaphragm is indicative of a difference between the pressures of the two chambers. Such deformation/movement is detected by a device that has no physical contact with the diaphragm, for example, by an optical detector that detects a change in the shape of the diaphragm or a movement of a protrusion on the diaphragm.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 12, 2020
    Date of Patent: March 5, 2024
    Assignee: NxStage Medical, Inc.
    Inventors: Mark T. Wyeth, James M. Brugger, Adam G. McDermott
