Patent number: 12226617Abstract: Systems and methods for integrating a continuous glucose sensor, including a receiver, a medicament delivery device, and optionally a single point glucose monitor are provided. Manual integrations provide for a physical association between the devices wherein a user (for example, patient or doctor) manually selects the amount, type, and/or time of delivery. Semi-automated integration of the devices includes integrations wherein an operable connection between the integrated components aids the user (for example, patient or doctor) in selecting, inputting, calculating, or validating the amount, type, or time of medicament delivery of glucose values, for example, by transmitting data to another component and thereby reducing the amount of user input required. Automated integration between the devices includes integrations wherein an operable connection between the integrated components provides for full control of the system without required user interaction.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2021Date of Patent: February 18, 2025Assignee: Dexcom, Inc.Inventors: James H. Brauker, Mark A. Tapsak, Sean T. Saint, Apurv Ullas Kamath, Paul V. Neale, Peter C. Simpson, Michael Robert Mensinger, Dubravka Markovic

Publication number: 20250000680Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an implantable device having a frame and a flow restrictor. The frame includes a central portion and an end portion on either end of the frame. The flow restrictor is disposed within a lumen of the frame. The flow restrictor is configured to transition between a collapsed configuration and a deployed configuration. The flow restrictor may include a porosity configured to reduce fluid flow through the flow restrictor without completely occluding fluid flow.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 10, 2024Publication date: January 2, 2025Inventors: Philip Mauger, Dubravka Markovic

Patent number: 12090075Abstract: An implant configured for ingestion by a patient. After the implant has been swallowed by the patient and is disposed within the target location, e.g. the patient's stomach, an inflation subcomponent causes the implant to expand from a compact delivery state to an expanded, volume-occupying, deployed state. In the deployed state the implant creates a sensation of satiety in the patient stomach and thereby aids in limiting food intake and obesity. After a predetermined time a deflation subcomponent is actuated and the implant reduces in size so as to allow it to pass through the remainder of the patient's digestive track. The device may further incorporate tracking and visualization subcomponents, as well as pharmaceutical delivery subcomponents.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2022Date of Patent: September 17, 2024Assignee: Reshape Lifesciences Inc.Inventors: Mark C. Brister, Nelson Quintana, Kaushik A. Patel, Neil R. Drake, Antonio C. Llevares, Dubravka Markovic, Andrew P. Rasdal, Amy D. L. VandenBerg
