  • Publication number: 20240285927
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a pump for supporting heart function, that includes a housing with a rotor disposed within the housing and spaced from an internal surface of the housing to define a clearance therebetween. An impeller is coupled to the rotor for propelling blood from a first inlet to an outlet of the housing along a primary blood flow path. The housing includes a second inlet fluidly coupled to the clearance between the rotor and the housing to define a secondary flow path through the clearance. The blood flowing through the secondary flow path continuously flushes the space between the rotor and the housing to minimize the formation and/or growth of blood clots and/or to remove heat generated by the pump.

  • Publication number: 20240165395
    Abstract: Systems, devices and methods are provided for supporting cardiac function. One system comprises an implantable intracardiac device comprising a motor and a pump, an external energy source and a transmitting resonator comprising a magnetic coil and configured to receive a first level of power from the external energy source and transmit a second level of power through an outer skin surface of the patient. The system further comprises a receiving resonator configured for implantation within the patient, comprising a magnetic coil and configured to transmit a third level of power to the motor within the implanted device. The third level of power is at least 40% of the first level of power, thereby ensuring that the pump will continuously pump blood through the heart at a sufficient rate regardless of any changes in the system, such as power loss due to transmission inefficiencies and/or changes in the relative positions between the transmitting and receiving coils.

  • Patent number: 9360412
    Abstract: A system includes a testing instrument to hold a test card having multiple cuvettes radially spaced about a point on the card. A rotatable mount is supported in relation the point on the card when the card is held in the testing system. Optics are supported on the rotatable mount to provide radiation to the multiple cuvettes.

  • Patent number: 9289761
    Abstract: A multiple layer test card includes a waste channel to receive biological waste from an area of the test card utilized for testing biological samples. Multiple compartments in a waste layer of the card are separated from each other by a rib in the waste layer. A first compartment is positioned to receive biological waste from the waste channel. A pass is coupled between each adjacent set of compartments to pass biological waste and air between compartments. A vent in a last compartment provides an air exit from the card.

  • Patent number: 9239136
    Abstract: An LED connector half (500) mates with a wire connector half (300) to connect a light strip (100) comprising LEDs (115) to a pair of wires. The LED half includes a hinged top (700) with an opening (705) to admit an end LED on the strip when the top is closed, securing the strip to the connector half without blocking the LED. The wire half secures a pair of wires (315) to terminals (305) in a housing (310). The wire half is inserted into the LED half, connecting the Electrodes and terminals. The halves are held together by a tongue (320) and socket (800). In another aspect, a connector (1100) joins two light strips by capturing the LEDs at the ends of the strips in openings (1110) and clamping conductive electrodes (1140) against the strips by closing a lid (1105) against the body, without obscuring LED light output.

  • Patent number: 8980635
    Abstract: A disposable blood analysis cartridge may include a sample collection reservoir, an absorbance measurement channel, and an optical light scattering measurement channel. One or more valves may be disposed between the sample collection reservoir and the absorbance measurement channel and/or the optical light scattering measurement channel. A negative pressure may be applied to the cartridge to pull sample from the sample collection reservoir through the one or more valves and into the absorbance measurement channel and/or the optical light scattering measurement channel. Once the sample is pulled into the absorbance measurement channel and/or the optical light scattering measurement channel, the one or more valves may be closed. With the one or more valves closed, and in some cases, a pusher fluid may be provided to push the fluid sample to other regions of the disposable fluid blood analysis cartridge.

  • Patent number: 8741235
    Abstract: A two-step method for loading a fluid sample into a disposable fluid analysis cartridge is described. First, capillary action may be used to initially draw a sample through a sample introduction port and into a sample collection reservoir provided in the fluid analysis cartridge. Once the fluid sample has been drawn into the sample collection reservoir by capillary action, a negative pressure may be applied to the cartridge to pull the sample from the sample collection reservoir and into a sample loading channel. A valve may be disposed between the sample collection reservoir and the sample loading channel to prevent backflow of sample into the sample collection reservoir and to retain sample in the sample loading channel.
