Patent number: 10478558Abstract: Systems and methods for intelligently delivering fluid to a targeted tissue are described. The systems and methods may include directing a pump to distribute fluid to a targeted tissue and receiving one or more signals from an intracorporeal sensing system, where the one or more signals correspond to one or more sensed feedback parameters at the targeted tissue. The systems and methods may also include determining whether the one or more sensed feedback parameters are within an acceptable range. If the one or more sensed feedback parameters are not within the acceptable range, the systems and methods may include determining an adjusted velocity for the plunger necessary to adjust the pressure of the fluid in the pump so that the one or more sensed feedback parameters move within the acceptable range and directing the pump to distribute the fluid at the adjusted velocity.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2016Date of Patent: November 19, 2019Assignee: BAYER HEALTHCARE LLCInventors: Martin J. Uram, Michael J. Yanniello, Barry L. Tucker, David A. Mishler, Edward J. Rhinehart, Mark Trocki, Arthur E. Uber, III, Kevin P. Cowan, John A. Brosovich

Patent number: 10060758Abstract: A syringe for use with a powered injector to inject a fluid into a patient that includes a length of material adapted to transmit or propagate electromagnetic energy therethrough. The length of material includes at least a first indicator positioned along the length of material. The first indicator is adapted to interact with at least a portion of the energy being propagated through the length of material in a manner that is detectable. The presence (or absence) of the first indicator provides or corresponds to information about the syringe configuration. The indicator(s) of the present invention can, for example, provide information about syringe configuration by the number and/or position thereof. A plurality or set of such syringes can be provided, with the configuration of each such syringe being represented by the presence or absence of indicator(s) of that syringe.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2014Date of Patent: August 28, 2018Assignee: BAYER HEALTHCARE LLCInventors: Kevin P.

Publication number: 20170014568Abstract: A fluid delivery system includes a pressurizing mechanism. The pressurizing mechanism includes: a substantially cylindrical body having a movable member positioned therein that divides the body into a first chamber and a second chamber; a plunger rod connected to a first side of the movable member and extending through a substantially closed first end of the body; and an elongated member connected to a second side of the movable member and extending through a substantially closed second end of the body. The plunger rod configured to operatively engage a fluid container. Fluid is dispensed from the fluid container by forming a vacuum within at least the first chamber by moving the movable member toward the second end of the body, allowing atmospheric pressure to enter the second chamber, and actuating the pressurizing mechanism to cause the moving member to move towards the first end of the body.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 23, 2016Publication date: January 19, 2017Inventors: KEVIN P.

Patent number: 7039455Abstract: An apparatus and method is provided for improving the quality of electrocardiogram (ECG) signals obtained from a patient undergoing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) wherein the ECG signal has relatively high levels of noise or interference voltages induced on it by changing magnetic fields. The apparatus includes the arrangement of a differential amplifier, a prefilter, a signal limiter (SL) circuit and an intermediate amplifier with an integral low pas filter. The prefilter limits the rise time or high frequency component of the noise or interfering voltages induced on the ECG that are presented to the signal limiter.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2002Date of Patent: May 2, 2006Assignee: Medrad, Inc.Inventors: John A.

Publication number: 20040225210Abstract: A lead set assembly is capable of coupling electrodes to a separate device. The assembly includes two leads. The condition sense lead features two conductive paths, each being connectible to one electrode for conveying a bioelectric signal therefrom and capable of having a first noise signal induced therein by electromagnetic emanations. The noise pickup lead also features two conductive paths, each being effectively topographically aligned with one conductive path of the condition sense lead to form a noise-matched pair therewith and capable of having a second noise signal induced therein by the electromagnetic emanations. In each noise-matched pair, this enables the second noise signal to be substantially approximate to the first noise signal. The lead set assembly can thus be used to convey to the separate device (I) the bioelectric and first noise signals using the condition sense lead and (II) the second noise signals using the noise pickup lead.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 2, 2004Publication date: November 11, 2004Inventors: John A.
