Abstract: Systems and methods for treating biologic fluids are disclosed. Some disclosed embodiments may be used to filter cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from a human or animal subject, heat CSF to a target temperature, cool CSF to a target temperature, apply light treatment to CSF, separate cells via their dielectric properties, apply spiral and/or centrifugal separation, introduce additives to target particles, and/or apply combinations thereof. The method may include the steps of withdrawing fluid comprising CSF, treating the fluid, and returning a portion of the treated fluid to the subject. During operation of the system, various parameters may be modified, such as flow rate.

Abstract: A system for providing information for diagnosing preterm birth risk includes: two or more transmit electrodes, contacting cervical tissues, for applying a plurality of first signals at different frequencies to the cervical tissues, two or more detect electrodes, contacting the cervical tissues, for detecting a plurality of second signals generated in response to the first signals, the second signals corresponding to the first signals, and a source configured to generate a plurality of signals. The system obtains a plurality of impedances of the cervical tissues based on the first and the second signals and applies data quality requirements for diagnosing the preterm birth risk. The data quality requirements include checking at least one of signal generation, signal reception, impedance calculation, quality of the first signals, quality of the second signals, and the impedances.

Abstract: Systems and methods for filtering materials from biologic fluids are discussed. Embodiments may be used to filter cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from a human or animal subject. In an example, CSF is separated into a permeate and retentate using a tangential flow filter. The retentate is filtered again and then returned to the subject with the permeate. During operation of the system, various parameters may be modified, such as flow rate and waste rate.

Abstract: The various robotic medical devices include robotic devices that are disposed within a body cavity and positioned using a support component disposed through an orifice or opening in the body cavity. Additional embodiments relate to devices having arms coupled to a device body wherein the device has a minimal profile such that the device can be easily inserted through smaller incisions in comparison to other devices without such a small profile. Further embodiments relate to methods of operating the above devices.
