  • Publication number: 20260053388
    Abstract: Devices and methods for vascular navigation, assessment and/or diagnosis are disclosed where a location detection system generally includes an elongate body defining a lumen at least partially along a length of the elongate body. One or more sensors are positioned near or at a distal tip of the elongate body and one or more openings are defined along the elongate body in proximity to the one or more sensors. The one or more openings are configured to control a boundary distance between the one or more sensors and a fluid with a parameter of a known initial value when emitted from the one or more openings. A controller is in communication with the one or more sensors and is configured to track a change in the parameter relating to concentration over the one or more sensors and determine a position of the one or more sensors within a body.

  • Publication number: 20260013751
    Abstract: Devices and methods for vascular navigation, assessment and/or diagnosis are described which determine the location of the tip of a vascular catheter using the introduction of a medium with a measurable parameter (e.g., temperature, light reflection, sound reflection, etc.) and sensing and measuring the measurable parameter as the catheter is advanced. Measurements of the parameter are tracked over time, recorded and analyzed. The value of the parameter and/or the shape of the parameter value vs. time curve may be used in the analysis. For example, curve amplitude, variability, standard deviation, slope, etc. may be used in the analysis of catheter location.

  • Publication number: 20230285719
    Abstract: Devices and methods for vascular navigation, assessment, treatment and/or diagnosis are disclosed. The system generally comprises an elongate body sized for introduction and translation through a catheter lumen. One or more openings may be located at or in proximity to a distal end of the elongate body and a sensor is positioned at or in proximity to the distal end. The sensor is configured to measure at least one parameter of a mixture of a first fluid and a second fluid after the first fluid is emitted from the openings and into the second fluid when the distal end is advanced beyond a distal opening of the catheter lumen. A controller in communication with the sensor is configured to receive a signal indicative of the at least one parameter and is further configured to obtain a position of the sensor within a body of a subject based upon the signal.

  • Patent number: 11304700
    Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for treating vascular defects are disclosed herein. One aspect of the present technology, for example, is directed toward an occlusive device that includes a first mesh having an expanded state in which it curves about a first axis to form a first band, and a second mesh having an expanded state in which it curves about a second axis different than the first axis to form a second band. The second band may be positioned radially inward of the first band such that the device includes first and second overlap regions in which the first band overlaps the second band.

  • Publication number: 20180096320
    Abstract: There are provided systems and methods for an account top-up feature to interface with a vendor application programming interface (API). A user may utilize a communication device while shopping or otherwise performing transaction processing, where the user may require additional funds to be deposited within an account of the user for transaction processing with a service provider. Generally, the user may provide financial instruments in the account, or preload money to the account, for example, at a terminal, website, or financial processing location. However, the user may include utilize an account top-up feature available on a microsite of the service provider to access an API and one or more processes of a vendor, such as a telecommunication carrier or banking institution, where the user may request various price points to add funds immediately to the account. The service provider may then deposit funds from the vendor to the account.
