Patent number: 10254384Abstract: A method of operating a communications device to maintain a position fix of the communications device includes obtaining a position fix using a position determination capability of the device, such as a global positioning system capability. The method further includes emitting a first acoustic signal, and recording a baseline acoustic signature in response to the emission of the first acoustic signal. The method further includes emitting an additional acoustic signal and recording an additional acoustic signature resulting from the emission of the additional acoustic signal, comparing the baseline acoustic signature with the additional acoustic signature, and estimating, based at least in part on the comparison of the baseline and additional acoustic signatures, whether the communications device has moved between the recordings of the baseline and additional acoustic signatures.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2017Date of Patent: April 9, 2019Assignee: GreatCall, Inc.Inventors: Matthew Luscher, Joel Stair, Jasen Cotton, Gavin Sermona, Luis Sanchez, John Arrizza

Publication number: 20190001046Abstract: The present specification discloses a portable dialysis system comprising a mechanism that allows the user to accurately position an air bubble in a venous line, so that it can be safely removed. When an air bubble is detected, the system automatically runs the blood pump in a direction such that the air bubble is placed close to the extraction point on the venous line, from where it can safely be removed using a needleless syringe.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 2, 2018Publication date: January 3, 2019Inventors: John Arrizza, John Erik Michael Palmroos, Ernesto Trillanes de la Fuente, JR., Nhan Viet Pham, Barry Neil Fulkerson

Patent number: 9971871Abstract: A system and method for providing updates to medical devices is disclosed. In one example, the medical devices are configured to pull update files in response to the reception of an update message from a server. Once the update files are downloaded by a medical device, the update files can be installed. While the medical device pulls the update files, the medical device can continue with its normal operation. If desired, a user can select which medical devices should be updated, based on any desired factors, such as the physical location of the device, the model of the device, the type of device, and the way the device is being used.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 2016Date of Patent: May 15, 2018Assignee: ICU Medical, Inc.Inventors: John Arrizza, James R.
