Patent number: 10537697Abstract: A method and system for generating and delivering nitric oxide directly to a patient. A reaction chamber is provided that is located at or in close proximity to the patient and reactants within the reaction chamber react together to produce a predetermined amount of nitric oxide. The reaction is controlled by metering at least one of the reactants into the reaction chamber to generate a predetermined quantity of nitric oxide as required by the patient. The reactants can include a nitrite salt, such as sodium nitrite, and a reductant such as ascorbic acid, maleic acid or a mixture thereof. By generating and delivering the nitric oxide directly to the patient in close proximity thereto, the formation of NO2 is minimized. One or both of the reactants may be in liquid form.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2016Date of Patent: January 21, 2020Assignee: MALLINCKRODT HOSPITAL PRODUCTS IP LIMITEDInventors: Frederick Montgomery, Duncan Bathe

Patent number: 10272225Abstract: A gas delivery system including a gas delivery device, a control module and a gas delivery mechanism is described. An exemplary gas delivery device includes a valve assembly with a valve and circuit including a memory, a processor and a transceiver in communication with the memory. The memory may include gas data such as gas identification, gas expiration and gas concentration. The transceiver on the circuit of the valve assembly may send wireless optical line-of-sight signals to communicate the gas data to a control module. Exemplary gas delivery mechanisms include a ventilator and a breathing circuit. Methods of administering gas are also described.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 2016Date of Patent: April 30, 2019Assignee: Mallinckrodt Hospital Products IP LimitedInventors: Duncan Bathe, John Klaus, David Christensen

Publication number: 20070113851Abstract: An arrangement and method for detecting spontaneous respiratory effort of a patient receiving ventilatory support via a breathing circuit. A patient/breathing circuit interface is adapted to provide a closed connection between a breathing passage of the patient and the breathing circuit. A sensor is disposed at least partially in the breathing passage of the patient and arranged to sense flow of gas through the breathing passage. The arrangement and method individually or in addition to the airway pressure measurement promotes reliable and rapid detection of breathing efforts of a non-intubated patient to promote efficient augmentation of patient breathing.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 22, 2005Publication date: May 24, 2007Inventors: Matt Delisle, Robert Tham, Duncan Bathe

Publication number: 20070062527Abstract: A method and system for delivering a pharmaceutical gas to a patient. The method and system provide a known desired quantity of the pharmaceutical gas to the patient independent of the respiratory pattern of the patient. The preferred pharmaceutical gases are CO and NO, both of which are provided as a concentration in a carrier gas. The gas control system determines the delivery of the pharmaceutical gas to the patient to result in the known desired quantity (e.g. in molecules, milligrams or other quantified units) of the pharmaceutical gas being delivered. Upon completion of that known desired quantity of pharmaceutical gas over a plurality of breaths, the system can either terminate any further delivery of the pharmaceutical gas or can activate an alarm to alert the user that the known quantity has been delivered. The system also has alarm functions to alert the user of possible malfunctions of the system.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 21, 2005Publication date: March 22, 2007Inventors: Frederick Montgomery, Duncan Bathe

Publication number: 20050066964Abstract: An adapter couples a patient's breathing circuit to a ventilator. In the preferred embodiment, the adapter comprises an inhalation conduit having a first end for coupling the adapter to the ventilator and a second end for coupling the adapter to the patient breathing circuit; an exhalation conduit having a first end for coupling the adapter to the patient breathing circuit and a discharge conduit, the discharge conduit transversely oriented to the inhalation conduit; an exhaust port communicating with the discharge conduit for releasing breathed gas from same; a valve selectively opening and closing the discharge conduit to release gas from same; and a base comprising means for releasably coupling the adapter to the ventilator.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 25, 2003Publication date: March 31, 2005Inventor: Duncan Bathe
