Abstract: A method of assembling an integrated catheter includes forming a catheter and inserting a needle into the catheter. Forming the catheter includes forming a first lumen extending from a proximal end to a distal end of the catheter, the first lumen terminating at a distal port in the distal end of the catheter. Forming the catheter further includes forming a first lumen side port positioned between the proximal end and the distal end of the catheter and a channel extending from the first lumen side port to the first lumen at an angle transverse to a first lumen longitudinal axis. Inserting the needle into the catheter includes inserting the needle through the first lumen side port, through the channel and through the first lumen until a tip of the needle extends beyond the distal port with a proximal end of the needle extending proximal of the first lumen side port.

Abstract: An integrated catheter assembly for rapid vascular insertion including a catheter configured for receipt of a needle and a guidewire; a catheter assembly comprising an integrated assembly comprising a catheter, needle, and guidewire; and a method of rapidly inserting a catheter to obtain vascular access. The catheter includes a central lumen for receiving the needle and guidewire. The lumen includes a distal port and a transverse side port adjacent an intermediate portion thereof which provide open vascular communication from two ports between the central lumen and the vasculature. The needle and guidewire, when integrated with the catheter, extend through the transverse side port wherein a proximal end of the needle extends contiguous to and exterior of a proximal portion of the catheter.

Abstract: Implantable devices and associated devices, systems, and methods are disclosed herein. The devices and systems of the present technology may be equipped with electronic components that provide a platform for remote patient and/or device monitoring. Operation of an implantable devices and/or one or more components thereof can be modulated over time depending on certain conditions. This modulation can include limiting wireless data communication with external devices to certain time intervals, varying parameters of data collection by sensing elements, and/or controlling power supplied to electronic components, for example. In some examples, an implantable device may operate in a low-power standby state in which data is obtained via sensing elements and stored in local data storage, but the data is not wirelessly transmitted to an external device until a modulation signal is received by the implantable device, causing the implantable device to change to a more active power state.
