  • Integrated Unique Device Identifier (UDI) Patient Safety Notification System
    Publication number: 20160189321
    Abstract: Embodiments provide methods and systems for medical device safety notification. One such embodiment begins by receiving medical device complaints. Next, indications of the received complaints are stored, each complaint includes a respective unique device identifier (UDI) of a corresponding medical device. In turn, each respective manufacturer of the corresponding medical device is notified of the complaint. Then, in response to instructions from the respective manufacturer, safety notifications are generated and sent about the corresponding medical device.

  • Methods for purifying highly anionic proteins
    Patent number: 6933370
    Abstract: The present invention provides a process for isolating and purifying highly anionic target proteins, for example, sulfated proteins. Sulfated proteins have five (5) or more, sulfations. In a preferred embodiment, the sulfated protein has six (6) sulfations, e.g., six sulfations on N-terminal tyrosine residues, as embodied in PSGL-1 (P-selectin glycoprotein ligand).
