Patent number: 11806720Abstract: A probe assembly for inserting a probe into a vessel or tubing includes a probe sheath having a proximal end and a distal end and being configured for operative coupling to a vessel or tubing, the probe sheath being configured to receive a probe and to permit movement of the probe towards the distal end of the probe sheath, and a locking mechanism configured to restrain longitudinal movement of the probe with respect to the sheath in a locked state. The locking mechanism may be unlocked to allow for movement of the probe with respect to the sheath.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2018Date of Patent: November 7, 2023Assignee: GLOBAL LIFE SCIENCES SOLUTIONS USA LLCInventor: Matthew Ouellette

Publication number: 20230277158Abstract: A multiple aperture ultrasound imaging system may be configured to store raw, un-beamformed echo data. Stored echo data may be retrieved and re-beamformed using modified parameters in order to enhance the image or to reveal information that was not visible or not discernible in an original image. Raw echo data may also be transmitted over a network and beamformed by a remote device that is not physically proximate to the probe performing imaging. Such systems may allow physicians or other practitioners to manipulate echo data as though they were imaging the patient directly, even without the patient being present. Many unique diagnostic opportunities are made possible by such systems and methods.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 15, 2023Publication date: September 7, 2023Inventors: Josef R. CALL, Kenneth D. BREWER, Viet Nam LE, Matthew OUELLETTE, Mathias BLAKE

Publication number: 20210403311Abstract: An apparatus for minimizing dead leg spaces in a container or tubing includes a first member having a flange for attaching the first member to a wall of the container or tubing, the flange having at least one aperture, and a second member rotatably coupled to the first member, the second member having an upper end having at least one aperture, and an open distal end. The second member is rotatable relative to the first member between a closed position where the at least one aperture of the second member is misaligned with the at least one aperture in the flange to prevent the passage of fluid, and an open position where the at least one aperture of the second member is aligned with the at least one aperture in the flange to allow for the passage of fluid.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 12, 2019Publication date: December 30, 2021Applicant: GLOBAL LIFE SCIENCES SOLUTIONS USA LLCInventors: HANNA-LEENA SAUKKONEN, BENJAMIN BROWN, MATTHEW OUELLETTE, SHANICE JONES, ERIC FÄLDT, LAUREN LISLE, RALPH STANKOWSKI
