Abstract: A method, system and device for implanting an electrode assembly of an implantable medical device in a patient's heart. Positioning one or more radiopaque markers in a coronary sinus of the patient's heart. Positioning, by using the one or more positioned radiopaque markers as a fluoroscopic visual reference, a distal tip of a delivery catheter within a right atrium of the patient's heart so that a distal opening of a lumen of the catheter is against a septal wall of the heart at a location between the ostium of the coronary sinus and the A-V nodal area of the right atrium, and so that the tip of the catheter is generally directed toward a left ventricle of the patient's heart. Advancing the electrode assembly through the lumen of the catheter and into the septal wall.

Abstract: A mixing element for attachment to a mixer output shaft of a mixer and a mixer including the mixing element. The output shaft has transversely-extending first and second driving pins. The mixing element includes a collar portion having a keyway. The keyway has a shaft-receiving passageway and first and second pin-receiving pathways. The shaft-receiving passageway extends longitudinally downward from the keyway opening. The pin pathways each project outward from the shaft-receiving passageway and each include an entry portion and a torque-receiving portion spaced from the entry portion.

Abstract: A mixing element for attachment to an output shaft of a mixer, the mixing element including a body having a mixing portion and a collar portion having an opening formed therein, the opening being shaped and located to receive the output shaft of a mixer therein. The mixing element further includes a retainer coupled to the body, the retainer being movable between an engaged position wherein at least part of the retainer protrudes into the opening and a disengaged position wherein the retainer does not protrude into the opening.
