Publication number: 20220401657Abstract: Various exemplary drug delivery device sensing modules and methods of using drug delivery device sensing modules are provided. In general, a sensing module can be configured to be attached to a drug delivery device configured to deliver a drug. The drug delivery device can be any of a variety of types of drug delivery devices, such as a syringe, an injection device (e.g., an autoinjector, a jet injector, and an infusion pump), a nasal delivery device, and an inhaler. The sensing module can be configured to gather data for one or more parameters related to drug delivery and to transmit data indicative of the gathered data to an external source configured to analyze the data received from the sensing module.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 13, 2020Publication date: December 22, 2022Inventors: Peter KRULEVITCH, Anthony R. DIUBALDI, Francesco N. ALBERTINI, Sanjay JAIN, Bradley SARGENT, Jared NATHANSON, Kevin CHRISTOPHER

Patent number: 9402999Abstract: A medical patch having a multi-piece bottom liner including a central liner sequentially removable independently of two outer perimeter liners. The multi-piece liner covering two adhesives of different peel force. Removal of the central liner exposes a first temporary/repositionable adhesive. Once properly positioned, the outer perimeter liners are removed to expose a second stronger adhesive. A foam cushioning layer is disposed beneath and extends beyond a footprint of every printed circuit board to prevent skin irritation. The medical patch may be designed specifically for stimulation of the sacral (S3 foramen) spinal nerve without the use of a separate mechanical placement tool or assistance by another.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2012Date of Patent: August 2, 2016Assignee: Ethicon Endo-Surgery, Inc.Inventors: Stephen Wahlgren, Martin J. Nohilly, Anthony R. DiUbaldi, Rex O. Bare, Bradley Sargent, Michael W. Ammerman, Jeffrey C. Smith, Kathryn M. Kukulka

Patent number: 9333333Abstract: An electrode including a non-conductive substrate having a top surface and at least one channel extending therethrough, an electrically conductive trace material positioned adjacent a portion of the top surface of the non-conductive substrate and extending through the channel, and adapted for electrically coupling to a power source, and a second electrically conductive material that is inert or more corrosion resistant than the trace material. The second material is positioned adjacent to and entirely covering a top surface of the trace material. The electrode further includes a conductive hydrogel laterally offset from the trace material, the hydrogel may be positioned adjacent to a portion of a top surface of the second electrically conductive material.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2012Date of Patent: May 10, 2016Assignee: ETHICON, INC.Inventors: Rex O.

Patent number: 8260439Abstract: A selective nerve stimulation patch includes a substrate having a top surface and a bottom surface, integrated components overlying the top surface of the substrate and being electrically interconnected with one another for generating at least one nerve stimulating signal, electrodes integrated into the substrate and exposed at the bottom surface thereof for applying the at least one nerve stimulating signal to a target nerve, a waterproof, breathable cover overlying the substrate and the integrated components, and a support flange surrounding the substrate and coupling the cover and the substrate together. The support flange has a top surface that slopes downwardly toward an outer perimeter thereof, and at least a portion of the cover conforms to the sloping top surface of the support flange. In one embodiment, the patch generates a high frequency waveform with properties such as amplitude, frequency and the like chosen so as to overcome tissue impedance and the stimulation threshold of the target nerve.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2007Date of Patent: September 4, 2012Assignee: Ethicon, Inc.Inventors: Anthony DiUbaldi, Michael Tracey, Rex O.

Publication number: 20080105258Abstract: A portable gas fractionalization apparatus that provides oxygen rich air to patients is provided. The apparatus is compact, lightweight, and low-noise. The components are assembled in a housing that is divided into two compartments. One compartment is maintained at a lower temperature than the other compartment. The lower temperature compartment is configured for mounting components that can be damaged by heat. The higher temperature compartment is configured for mounting heat generating components. An air stream is directed to flow from an ambient air inlet to an air outlet constantly so that there is always a fresh source of cooling air. The apparatus utilizes a PSA unit to produce an oxygen enriched product. The PSA unit incorporates a novel single ended column design in which all flow paths and valves can be co-located on a single integrated manifold. The apparatus also can be used in conjunction with a satellite conserver and a mobility cart.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 30, 2007Publication date: May 8, 2008Inventors: Geoffrey Deane, Brenton Taylor, Rex Bare, Andrew Scherer, Bradley Sargent, Andrew March, Joseph Merchant, Jeffrey Smith
