Publication number: 20230330677Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to devices, systems, and methods for sample tube processing and more specifically to antimicrobial susceptibility testing, including automated systems capable of separating viable microbes from positive blood cultures. In an aspect, a sample tube may include a container comprising an open first end, a closed second end, and a tubular wall extending substantially along a longitudinal axis of the container. A protrusion may extend radially from an external surface of the tubular wall. A cap may be reversibly coupled to the first end of the container. The cap may include an interface ring having a top side, an underside, and a central axis therethrough. A skirt portion may extend from the underside substantially parallel with the central axis. A sealing wall may extend from the underside. A channel may be between the skirt portion and the sealing wall configured to reversibly accept the tubular wall.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 8, 2021Publication date: October 19, 2023Applicant: SELUX DIAGNOSTICS, INC.Inventors: Matthew Briscoe, Mark Mooradian, Eric Stern

Patent number: 8998997Abstract: A knee prosthesis including a femoral implant, a tibial implant, a tibial insert and a cam post. The femoral implant is secured to a femur and has a gap for receiving a natural PCL. The tibial implant is secured to a tibia. The tibial insert comprises a medial cavity with a rotational axis. The tibial insert has articulating surfaces that match the contours of the condyles of the femoral implant and a notch for retaining the natural PCL. The tibial insert has a medial boss that aligns with the medial cavity allowing it to rotate about the rotational axis. A post is secured to the tibial implant and enters a hole of the tibial insert providing anterior and posterior stops for the rotation of the tibial insert about the rotational axis.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2010Date of Patent: April 7, 2015Inventors: Michael D. Ries, Mark Mooradian, Daniel F. Justin, Joshua A. Butters

Patent number: 8932364Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for filling bone voids which may be present at the time of surgery. The systems disclosed herein generally include a baseplate component, a spacer component, and void filler component. The spacer component is generally assembled to the baseplate component with a taper or press-fit, for example, in one of a plurality of selected axial positions. The void filler component is then generally assembled to the spacer component in one of a plurality of selected axial positions. The void filler component preferably has an outer surface with portions having varying diameters such that the outer surface thereof can be received within a canal of a bone and contact the bone forming the canal at different locations in order to aid in stabilizing the assembled components in the canal.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 2011Date of Patent: January 13, 2015Assignee: Howmedica Osteonics Corp.Inventors: Mark Mooradian, Jeffery Arnett, Joshua A. Butters

Patent number: 8906105Abstract: A knee prosthesis including a femoral implant, a tibial implant, a tibial insert and a cam post. The femoral implant is secured to a femur and has a cam feature and condyles. The tibial implant is secured to a tibia. The tibial insert comprises a medial cavity with a rotational axis. The tibial insert has articulating surfaces that match the contours of the condyles of the femoral implant. The tibial insert has a medial boss that aligns with the medial cavity allowing it to rotate about the rotational axis. A cam post is secured to the tibial implant and passes through a channel of the tibial insert providing anterior and posterior stops for the rotation of the tibial insert about the rotational axis. The cam post interacts with the femoral implant cam feature and, with the tibial insert, allows more anatomically correct rollback and femoral external rotation during knee flexion.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2009Date of Patent: December 9, 2014Inventors: Michael D. Ries, Mark Mooradian, Daniel F. Jusitn, Joshua A Butters

Patent number: 5479931Abstract: A novel wave guide assembly for use in an IR thermometer of the type used in measuring temperature of the tympanic membrane of the ear for body temperature determinations. The assembly provides a unique arrangement of spacers and a protective sheath to create a durable yet inexpensive wave guide. The spacer includes radially offset contact points that induce moment arms to absorb shock and other forms of rough handling encountered in daily use.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 1993Date of Patent: January 2, 1996Assignee: Thermoscan, Inc.Inventor: Mark Mooradian
