  • Patent number: 10137294
    Abstract: A method for protecting a pressure transducer from fluid pressure damage using a pressure isolation mechanism is disclosed. The method includes associating the pressure transducer with an isolation port of the pressure isolation mechanism, placing a pressurizing device for delivering fluid under pressure in fluid connection with an inlet port of the pressure isolation mechanism, and actuating the pressurizing device to cause fluid flow in the inlet port such that a free floating, fluid flow responsive valve member positioned in an internal cavity of the pressure isolation mechanism engages a seal seat therein to attain a closed position, preventing fluid flow between the inlet port and the isolation port and thus prevent overpressure in the isolation port. Hemodynamic pressure signals read with the pressure transducer may be transmitted at least in part through a body of the valve member, or a portion thereof, when in the closed position.

  • Patent number: 9895527
    Abstract: A pressure isolation mechanism including a valve housing which defines a first lumen associated with a pressurizing device, a second lumen associated with an input line which connects a low pressure fluid delivery system to the valve housing, and a pressure isolation port is disclosed. The pressure isolation mechanism further includes a first valve having a normally open position permitting fluid communication between the first lumen and the second lumen and movable to a closed position when fluid pressure in the first lumen reaches a predetermined pressure level, and a second valve disposed within the second lumen and regulating fluid flow through the second lumen, wherein the second valve substantially isolates the input line from a pressure transducer connected to the pressure isolation port. A method for correcting for dampened hemodynamic blood pressure signals in a fluid delivery system which includes the pressure isolation mechanism is also described.
