  • Publication number: 20250095841
    Abstract: A method includes receiving a request to activate a medical device. Response to receiving the request, the method includes generating an automatic programming request (APR) for programming the medical device, receiving a message indicating that the APR failed to activate the medical device, and obtaining historical programming records (HPR)s. The method includes determining that parameters in the APR correspond to historical parameters, identifying a set of HPRs including a historical parameter value corresponding to a requested parameter value included the APR, and generating a deviation metric indicating a degree of difference between a secondary parameter value included in the APR and a corresponding historical parameter value. The method includes, responsive to a determination that a deviation metric meets a criticality threshold, changing a drug library record associated with the respective set of deviations and providing an indication to review the changed drug library record.

  • Publication number: 20250059621
    Abstract: A method for separating a lead radioisotope from a mixture comprising the lead radioisotope and a radioisotope of radium or thorium is provided, along with a system comprising a plurality of chromatographic columns. The system can include a first cartridge having a lead-complexing media that preferentially binds the lead radioisotope over radioisotopes of radium or thorium, and a second cartridge having a weak cationic exchange media, where a pH of a loading solution used to load the second cartridge is pH2L, and a pH of an eluent used to elute the lead radioisotope from the second cartridge is pH2E, and pH2L is greater than pH2E. The system can also comprise further third and fourth cartridges with chromatographic media to extract and purify the lead radioisotope, to provide a purified solution of lead radioisotope that can be used for medical and other purposes, such as in the labeling of radiopharmaceutical compounds.

  • Publication number: 20250054620
    Abstract: The disclosed systems and methods manage more notifications between medical devices. A method includes obtaining information corresponding to a clinician and determining whether the information satisfies coordination criteria. The method includes, in accordance with a determination that the clinician is associated with the first medical device and a second medical device, detecting a first and second notification generated by respective medical devices. The method includes identifying, based on detecting the respective notifications, alert information including medical information for a patient receiving medical treatment from the first and second medical device. The method includes determining, based on the identified information, notification priorities between the respective notifications.

  • Patent number: 5527189
    Abstract: A socket and a method for making a socket for securing an integrated circuit package to a supporting structure. The integrated circuit package has a plurality of leads positioned in a geometric pattern and each lead has a predetermined impedance. The socket comprises a substrate or body having a first and second surface opposed to each other and formed of an insulative material. The socket further comprises a plurality signal path members extending from at least the first surface to the second surface. Each signal path includes a first and second end. One end of each signal path member includes a means positioned to secure a lead of an integrated circuit package and the other end is adapted to be coupled to a conductor on a printed circuit board.
