  • Patent number: 11633251
    Abstract: Arrangements described herein relate to systems, apparatuses, and methods for an enclosure for a device having a probe supported by a housing. The housing defines a cavity through which the probe protrudes. The probe is configured to move within the cavity. The enclosure includes a removable enclosure body. The enclosure body is configured to enclose at least a portion of the housing while covering an entirety of the cavity. The enclosure further includes a probe interaction portion in the enclosure body. The probe interaction portion is configured to be operatively engaged with the probe such that the probe is configured to transmit acoustic energy to a subject from within the enclosure.

  • Publication number: 20230080668
    Abstract: A Wearable Cardioverter Defibrillator (WCD) system comprises an electrode assembly with a permeable ECG electrode and a moisture barrier. In some embodiments, the moisture barrier is configured to reduce drying out of the permeable ECG electrode to improve performance of the WCD system. In a further enhancement, some embodiments of the electrode assembly also include a pillow structure positioned on a non-skin-contacting surface of the electrode assembly to comfortably reduce movement artifact or noise in the received ECG signal.
