Abstract: An aerosolization system includes a respiration system having an inspiratory limb and an expiratory limb. The system includes an aerosol chamber coupled with the inspiratory limb via a fluid channel. The fluid channel is disposed such that the aerosol chamber is isolated from continuous flow passing through the respiratory system. The system includes a patient interface positioned at a first location of the aerosol chamber and an aerosolization device positioned at a second location of the aerosol chamber positioned opposite the first location. The aerosolization device includes a reservoir that receives a volume of liquid medicament for aerosolization by the aerosolization device. The aerosol chamber mixes aerosolized medicament from the aerosolization device with respiratory flow received from the respiration system via the fluid channel.

Abstract: A dispensing apparatus is for use by users to take a chamber, fill the chamber with an aerosolized vaccine or other medicament, and dispose of used chambers. A display provides instructions to encourage prompt inhalation by the user from a dispensed and filled chamber. The apparatus allows very fast administration of vaccines to large numbers of people. The aerosol dispenser apparatus detects the chamber is in correct position and delivers a pre-determined dose of aerosol. Once the dose is delivered a visual and/or audible indicator informs the user that the chamber is filled and that they can take the inhalation. The single dose aerosol chamber is optimized for efficient administration of an aerosol.

Abstract: An aerosol delivery system that includes an aerosol generator that aerosolizes a fluid for delivery to a patient as a patient inhales. The aerosol delivery system includes a pump coupled to the aerosol generator that pumps the fluid to the aerosol generator, and a breath sensor that emits a signal as the patient breathes. A controller couples to the aerosol generator, the pump, and the breath sensor. In operation, the controller receives the signal from the breath sensor, controls a flow of fluid to the aerosol generator in response to the signal, and controls the aerosol generator to start aerosolizing the fluid before the patient inhales.

Abstract: A mechanical locking assembly for an endovascular device, comprising a shaft comprising a main body a shaft comprising a main body and enlarged end, an inner channel component comprising a full collar formed on proximal end of the inner channel component, and an outer cage component comprising a partial collar formed on the outer cage component wherein the full collar of the inner channel component fully surrounds the outer cage component and the partial collar of the outer cage component at least partially surrounds the shaft.

Abstract: A clot retrieval device is disclosed to remove clot from a blood vessel. The device can include a collapsed configuration and an expanded configuration. The device can include an inner expandable body with a framework of struts. The device can include an outer expandable body with a framework of struts that at least partially radially surrounding the inner expandable body. A distal portion of the outer expandable body can extend in the deployed configuration towards the outer expandable body to a greater extent than the inner expandable body, closed cells of the distal portion distally tapering and being smaller than cells proximal thereof in the outer expandable body. The plurality of closed cells of the distal portion can include a pair of axially aligned smaller diamond shaped cells formed by struts of the distal portion and positioned along upper and lower regions of the distal portion.

Abstract: An aerosol delivery system that includes an aerosol generator that aerosolizes a fluid for delivery to a patient. The aerosol generator includes a housing with a fluid chamber that fluidly communicates with a housing inlet and a housing outlet. Within the housing, the aerosol generator includes a support plate with an aperture that fluidly communicates with the housing outlet. A vibratable member couples to the support plate across the aperture. A piezoelectric actuator also couples to the support plate, and in operation expands and contracts to vibrate the vibratable member, which aerosolizes a fluid. The aerosol generator receives fluid through a fluid conduit that couples to the housing.

Abstract: A clot retrieval device includes an inner expandable member and an outer expandable member, each formed from respective strut frameworks such that the outer expandable member has larger cell openings than the inner expandable member. The outer expandable member can have multiple discontinuous body segments spaced apart in relation to a longitudinal axis of the device. Adjacent discontinuous body segments can be joined by a pair of tapered connecting arms that are able to bend with a small radius of curvature compared to the body segments. Some or all of the body segments can include radiopaque markers positioned to illustrate a circumference of the respective body segment and slightly staggered in relation to a longitudinal axis of the device such that the markers nest when the device is collapsed for delivery.
