Patent number: 9138568Abstract: An apparatus capable of generating flow in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunt systems by vibrating the shunt, tubing or shunt valve dome, or applying cyclical pressure to the various parts of the shunt system. A method of generating flow and method of using the apparatus in shunt patency assessment, for example, hydraulic resistance assessment, is also disclosed. The apparatus allows, in conjunction with a thermal dilution method or radionuclide method, a quick CSF shunt patency assessment based upon CSF shunt resistance and not upon CSF flow or intracranial pressure (ICP) separately. This provides a more objective measure of shunt obstruction compared to other methods. Furthermore, the apparatus can be used to enhance flow in shunts, identify partial occlusion before symptoms occur, differentiate between patent, partially-occluded and occluded shunts. The apparatus can be used to generate flow in shunts if there is a need to lower ICP or move drugs administered via an injection chamber or a shunt dome.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 2011Date of Patent: September 22, 2015Assignees: ShuntCheck, Inc., The Children's Medical Center CorporationInventors: Marek Swoboda, Matias Gabriel Hochman, Mark Evan Mattiucci, Frederick J.

Publication number: 20150201882Abstract: An apparatus and method for determining a continuous CSF flow rate in an implanted CSF shunt in real-time. The system/method utilize a Peltier sensor formed on a flexible pad that is placed against the patient's skin. The Peltier sensor includes a Peltier device coupled to a thermal resistor that is contact with the patient's skin over the CSF shunt location. The Peltier device is operated continuously, controlled by the Peltier temperature sensor to a predetermined temperature that is below the patient's core temperature to form a temperature differential that causes any heat generated by the skin/CSF flow to be detected by a skin temperature sensor and the Peltier temperature sensor. Upstream and downstream temperature sensors, as well as control temperature sensors, are utilized to form a zero flow rate baseline that is used to calibrate a Peltier signal that corresponds to a real-time CSF flow rate.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 25, 2013Publication date: July 23, 2015Inventors: Marek Swoboda, Matias Gabriel Hochman

Publication number: 20150045717Abstract: A system for measuring quantitative CSF flow in shunt tubing implanted under the skin. The system includes an array of thermo-sensors clustered in three sections, cooling device, placed on the skin surface and an associated data acquisition and analysis device. Two sensor sections are placed over the shunt on the skin and measure real time temperature responses related to CSF movement. One array placed adjacent the cooling device collects data on thermal properties of skin including skin thermal conductivity, specific heat, diffusivity, perfusion, and thermal inertia. The method involves assessing thermal properties of skin and measuring CSF flow in shunt tubing. The method is useful for shunt patency assessment, CSF valve adjustment procedures and CSF flow measurements related to CSF over drainage. Alternatively, only one section of sensors need be used when determining relative CSF flow, without the need to determine thermal skin properties and by applying the cooling device continuously.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 14, 2014Publication date: February 12, 2015Inventors: Marek Swoboda, Matias Gabriel Hochman, Mark Evan Mattiucci, Frederick J.

Publication number: 20130247644Abstract: A pressure sensor that is implantable within a living being that wirelessly provides pressure data within the living being to a wireless receiver. The pressure sensor includes an elastic membrane to which at least one capacitive actuator is coupled for applying a known force to the membrane to determine membrane characteristics. The pressure sensor includes a force transducer contacting the membrane for determining the pressure within the living being and which includes an internal calibrating force mechanism. This calibrating force mechanism permits force transducer displacement away from the membrane where a zero force transducer reading is taken and then applying a calibrating force and taking another reading. From these two points, a force transducer characteristic is derived and, along with membrane characteristics, an accurate pressure within the living being is obtained from the sensor. An alternative embodiment replaces the capacitive actuators with a known mass and an external vibratory source.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 8, 2011Publication date: September 26, 2013Applicant: ICPCHECK INC.Inventors: Marek Swoboda, Matias Gabriel Hochman, Mark Mattiucci, Fred Fritz
