Patent number: 11950372Abstract: Methods of making metal patterns on flexible substrates are provided. Releasable solid layer is selectively formed on a patterned surface of the flexible substrate by applying a liquid solution thereon. Metal patterns on the flexible substrate can be formed by removing the releasable solid layer after metallization. In some cases, the releasable solid layer can be transferred from the patterned surface to a transfer layer where the metal patterns are formed.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2019Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: 3M INNOVATION PROPERTIESInventors: Henrik B. van Lengerich, Matthew S. Stay, Caleb T. Nelson, David J. Tarnowski, David J. Rowe, Edwin L. Kusilek

Publication number: 20200391202Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting an infection are provided. A method of detecting an infection in a patient includes subcutaneously collecting a whole blood sample in a reservoir of the sampling device. The method further includes removing the reservoir, connecting the reservoir to a sample processor, and transferring the whole blood sample from the reservoir to the sample processor for processing. The method also includes connecting the sample processor to an analytical instrument and analyzing the processed sample via the analytical instrument.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 1, 2020Publication date: December 17, 2020Inventors: John C. VICTOR, David T. ROWE, Rodney W. DENLINGER, Victoria E. WAGNER, Michael A. BOUCHARD, Zheng ZHANG

Patent number: 10617344Abstract: A coupler for indicating the presence of a substance in blood is disclosed. The coupler includes a housing and a test strip. The housing has a proximal end and a distal end, and defines a hollow interior for receiving withdrawn blood. The test strip is held within the hollow interior of the housing. The housing removably couples with a medical instrument and a needle. The test strip produces a visible signal that indicates the presence or absence of the substance in the withdrawn blood. A kit including a syringe, a needle and the coupler is also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2016Date of Patent: April 14, 2020Assignee: Teleflex Medical IncorporatedInventors: Nisha Gupta, David T. Rowe, Rodney W. Denlinger

Patent number: 10258774Abstract: Apparatus and methods are provided for managing delivery of fluid into a vessel. A balloon catheter with a 3-way valve is introduced into an occluded vessel. The 3-way valve permits fluid, such as a contrast dye, to be injected into the vessel lumen. The valve is also configured to permit the balloon portion of the catheter to be inflated by means of the same lumen used to inject the contrast dye into the vessel. Bloodstream pressure can also be measured before and after dilation to confirm the procedure was successful. This apparatus and method provides for a quick, safe, and reliable treatment of an occluded vessel, among other things and works with known and later developed systems.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2013Date of Patent: April 16, 2019Assignee: Teleflex Medical IncorporatedInventors: Jeffrey Vitullo, David T. Rowe, John Victor

Patent number: 9554736Abstract: The disclosure provides an allergy detection system for use during catheterization. The allergy detection system is incorporated into specialized syringes, connectors for use with standard syringes, or can be an independent test module designed for the sole purpose of allergy detection. The detection system features a test strip, such as an immunochromatographic test strip, and a structure to couple the system to a connector, syringe, or a housing, to form an independent test module. The detection system, by way of test strips, is used to detect potential allergic reactions.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 2012Date of Patent: January 31, 2017Assignee: Teleflex Medical IncorporatedInventors: Nisha Gupta, David T. Rowe, Rodney W. Denlinger

Publication number: 20140276356Abstract: A medical device for delivering a reagent, such as a pharmaceutical agent, a diagnostic agent, a nutrient, or another type of reagent, to an intravascular or intralumenal location, is disclosed. The medical device has a coating, where exposing the coating to light severs a photosensitive bond that releases the reagent into the immediate vicinity of the location.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 14, 2014Publication date: September 18, 2014Applicant: Teleflex Medical IncorporatedInventors: John C.
