Patent number: 11952636Abstract: The disclosure relates generally to molecular diagnostic devices configured to amplifying a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) locus and discriminate between two or more allelic variants of the SNP, indicating presence or absence of a target allele. In some embodiments, the molecular diagnostic devices are capable of detecting, at point-of-care, SNPs associated with resistance or susceptibility to antibiotic treatment of organism infections. In other aspects, the disclosure provides methods of treatment for disease or disorders (e.g. organism infections) where treatment is guided by presence or absence of an allele at a SNP locus as determined by such molecular diagnostic devices.Type: GrantFiled: May 6, 2022Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: Visby Medical, Inc.Inventors: Brian Ciopyk, Paul Dentinger, Teresa Abraham, Brandon Ma, Kamal Kajouke, Mackenzie Hunt, Austin Phung, Karl Guegler, David Swenson, Anna H.

Publication number: 20190105467Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for a modified tip for a sheath assembly that provides enhanced radiopacity while maintaining the distal tip profile to maintain adequate tip stiffness and tip transition force. The disclosed method and apparatus provide a distal tip segment for a sheath assembly comprising a region of increased wall thickness along a portion or section of the distal tip segment, providing increased cross-sectional area there-along to provide enhanced radiopacity, and a distal most section of the distal tip segment having a reduced or minimal profile to provide an atraumatic tip while maintaining sufficient stiffness for crossability. The distal tip segment is operable to be coupled to a proximal shaft portion of the sheath assembly, to provide enhanced radiopacity while maintaining the distal tip profile to maintain adequate tip stiffness.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 11, 2018Publication date: April 11, 2019Inventors: Ros Thomas Brannick, Brian Ma, Audrey Man Yin Chan, Melanie Thompson Smith, Alice Zhang, Jan-Hung Chen
