  • Catheter system
    Patent number: 9095681
    Abstract: A catheter system including a housing and a first drive mechanism supported by the housing configured to impart movement to a first catheter device is provided. The first drive mechanism is moveable between an engaged position in which the first drive mechanism engages the first catheter device and a disengaged position in which the first drive mechanism does not engage the first catheter device. The catheter system includes a second drive mechanism supported by the housing configured to impart movement to a second catheter device. The second drive mechanism is moveable between an engaged position in which the second drive mechanism engages the second catheter device and a disengaged position in which the second drive mechanism does not engage the second catheter device. The catheter system includes a manual control configured to allow a user to manually move the first drive mechanism and the second drive mechanism between the engaged and disengaged positions.

  • Remote catheter system with steerable catheter
    Patent number: 8790297
    Abstract: A catheter procedure system including a user interface for receiving at least a first user input and a second user input and a guide catheter is provided. The catheter procedure system also includes a guide catheter actuating mechanism coupled to the guide catheter and a Y-connector. The guide catheter actuating mechanism is configured to advance and retract the guide catheter in response to the first user input and to rotate the guide catheter in response to the second user input. The catheter procedure system includes a first connector coupling the Y-connector to the guide catheter actuating mechanism, and the first connector is configured to allow the Y-connector to advance and retract with the guide catheter and to allow the guide catheter to rotate without also causing the Y-connector to rotate.

  • Catheter system
    Patent number: 7887549
    Abstract: A robotic catheter system includes a housing and a drive assembly. The drive assembly is supported by the housing and configured to impart movement to a catheter device and includes a first channel configured to receive the catheter device. The robotic catheter system includes at least one magnet positioned adjacent to the first channel to allow the magnet to interact with the catheter device to assist in the retention of the catheter device within the first channel.

  • Apparatus for dispensing precise volumes of a liquid
    Patent number: 6021925
    Abstract: An apparatus is provided for delivering precise volumes of a sample liquid. A piston is moved linearly into a first chamber containing an incompressible hydraulic liquid. The chamber includes one wall formed of a flexible diaphragm. The diaphragm separates the first chamber from a second chamber containing a sample liquid. The degree of expansion of the diaphragm and dispensing of the sample liquid from the second chamber are dependent upon the position of the piston within the first chamber.
