Publication number: 20230248260Abstract: A method for aiding in the diagnosis of a physiological abnormality resulting in detectable, measurable variations in contents of breathed air. The system includes a handheld unit defining an airway, wherein the airway includes a plurality of sensors adapted to measure a plurality of parameters related to the presence of a physiological abnormality. The system further includes a control unit remotely connected to the handheld unit. The control unit includes a controller adapted to receive input signals from the handheld unit and remit output signals in response thereto. The output signals are usable by a user in determining the presence or absence of a physiological abnormality. The control unit further also can include a display adapted to display the output signals to a user thereby easing the determination of the physiological abnormality. The system further includes a mouthpiece selectively connectable to the handheld unit.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 24, 2023Publication date: August 10, 2023Inventors: Derek G. Kane, Gregory R. Lanier, Jr., Eric M. Soederberg, Benjamin W. Jones, Jr., Paul Marquis

Publication number: 20140323955Abstract: When a patient is fitted with an external gastrostomy connection to the stomach, ingested food can be removed through the gastrostomy connection using a pump-based or siphon-based system to achieve weight loss. The process of removing ingested food can be improved by alternating the infusion of liquid into the stomach with the removal of material from the stomach. Optionally, stomach acid may be captured and returned to the stomach. Optionally, nutritional supplements or medicines may be added to the infused liquid. Optionally, a flush mount connectorized system with a built in valve may be used to simplify the interface with the gastrostomy hardware that remains installed in the patient. Optionally, the system may be configured to disable itself from further use after a triggering event (e.g., the passage of time or a predetermined number of uses) has occurred.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 8, 2014Publication date: October 30, 2014Inventors: DEAN KAMEN, KEVIN L. GRANT, ERIC M. SOEDERBERG, DAVID E. ALTOBELLI, DAVID M. FLYNN, KENNETH S. SOLOVAY, SAMUEL KLEIN
