Abstract: A first sensing element including an accelerometer-based sensor for sleep disordered breathing (SDB) care.

Abstract: One example of an implantable medical device includes an output signal driver, a first electrode coupled to the output signal driver, a second electrode coupled to the output signal driver, and a control portion. The output signal driver is configured to generate stimulation pulses. The control portion is configured to control the output signal driver to selectively apply via the first electrode and the second electrode a first pulse train to stimulate a first nerve and a second pulse train to stimulate a second nerve.

Abstract: One example of an implantable medical device includes an output signal driver, a first electrode, a second electrode, and a controller. The output signal driver is configured to generate stimulation pulses to stimulate a nerve within a patient. The first electrode is coupled to the output signal driver. The second electrode is coupled to the output signal driver. The controller is configured to control the output signal driver to selectively apply between the first electrode and the second electrode a first pulse train and a second pulse train interleaved with the first pulse train.

Abstract: Methods and/or devices to determine patient respiration information are disclosed which comprise sensing acceleration.

Abstract: A device and/or method to determine a sleep-wake status, such as in association with sleep disordered breathing (SDB) care.

Abstract: Methods and/or devices to determine patient respiration information are disclosed which comprise sensing acceleration.

Abstract: A device includes a sensor and a control portion. The sensor is securable to a patient to provide a sensor signal. The sensor is to sense changes in acceleration indicative of respiration of the patient. The control portion is to determine a midpoint of each respiratory phase of the patient based on the sensor signal.

Abstract: Methods and/or devices to identify disease burden indication are disclosed. One type of disease comprises sleep disordered breathing and/or related parameters, which may be sensed via implantable sensors such as an acceleration sensor.

Abstract: An air warmer has a housing whereinto is positioned a noise reduction mechanism having a casing that encases a sound reducing structure having a maze like cavity. An axial fan is positioned within the sound reducing structure. In operation, air is drawn into the sound reducing structure by the fan along a first tortuous passage. The air is directed by the fan through another tortuous passage to an air outlet to inflate a convective blanket with an air hose connected to the air outlet. The configuration of the maze like cavity and the material from which the nosie reducing structure is formed reduce the noise generated by the fan. A heater is provided proximate to the air outlet to heat the output air. A filter is provided at the air inlet to filter the ambient air drawn into the warmer.
