  • System and method for infusion pump for use in an MR environment with lighting of user interface keys to give clinician guidance
    Patent number: 11475994
    Abstract: A medical device (10) for use in a Magnetic Resonance environment includes a keypad (22) having keys (24). Light sources (26) are disposed with respective keys of the keypad to illuminate the respective keys. At least one electronic processor (18) is programmed to: perform user interfacing operations in which user inputs are received via the keypad; during the user interfacing operations, control the light sources to selectively illuminate keys usable in the user interfacing operations; and controlling or configuring the medical device in accord with the user inputs received during the user interfacing operations.
    Type: Grant

  • Method to enable standard alternating current (AC)/direct current (DC) power adapters to operate in high magnetic fields
    Patent number: 10262788
    Abstract: A power supply (10) and corresponding method (200) supply power in high external magnetic fields. A power converter system (12) converts input power to output power using one or more electromagnetic components (18). One or more ferrous bands (16) encircle the electromagnetic components (18) and shield the electromagnetic components (18) from the high external magnetic fields.
