Patents by Inventor Andrea Acuna

Andrea Acuna has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10022548
    Abstract: Electrical stimulation may be delivered to a patient's heart using a plurality of cardiac electrodes. Each electrode combination may be evaluated based on one or more first parameters and one or more second parameters. In many cases, the one or more first parameters are supportive of cardiac function consistent with a prescribed therapy and the one or more second parameters are not supportive of cardiac function consistent with the prescribed therapy. The electrode combination selected to deliver a cardiac pacing therapy may be more associated with the one or more first parameters supportive of cardiac function consistent with the prescribed therapy and less associated with the one or more second parameters inconsistent with cardiac function.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 24, 2013
    Date of Patent: July 17, 2018
    Assignee: Cardiac Pacemakers, Inc.
    Inventors: M. Jason Brooke, Andrea Acuna

  • Patent number: 8694129
    Abstract: Systems and methods for deploying a sensor assembly onto a cardiac lead are disclosed. The sensor assembly can include a resilient cuff having one or more sensor modules for sensing physiological parameters within the body. The resilient cuff may have a substantially cylindrical shape having an inner diameter that is smaller than an outer diameter of the lead body onto which the cuff is deployed such that the cuff is retained on the lead body by frictional forces. The sensor assembly may be deployed in conjunction with a new lead to be implanted within a chamber of the patient's heart or a body vessel, or may be deployed onto an existing, implanted lead implanted within the patient's body.
