  • Publication number: 20230016673
    Abstract: A method for determining stenosis of the carotid artery in a human patient consisting of a first step of placing a sensing device comprising an array and three sensing elements onto the patient, wherein a first sensing element is placed near the heart and the two remaining sensing elements are placed adjacent to the carotid arteries; the sensing elements then measure sounds from each of the three sensing elements, resulting in sound from three channels. The sound is measured in analog and modified to digital format and then each of the three channels are analyzed before a power spectral density analysis is performed. The power spectral density graph reveals peaks that are not due to noise that are then analyzed to provide for a calculation of percent stenosis or complete occlusion of the carotid artery.

  • Publication number: 20220323040
    Abstract: A method for determining proper placement of a sensor pod on a patient comprising: performing a first quality control procedure on a detection device comprising a base, at least two sensor pods, a computer system implementing appropriate software, and a display; wherein the first quality control procedure generates a tone from a speaker within said base and each sensor pod measures and compares sounds to predetermined measurements in real time; wherein a sensor pod has met quality control if said sounds are within 10% of predicted measurements; performing a second quality control procedure on said sensor pods, which measure sounds on a patient; wherein once engaged the system detects and compares sounds from sensor pods in real time to predicted sounds based on fluid flow vessels; and wherein said method provides an audio or visual alarm when said sensor pod is not detecting the predicted sounds, indicating an improper location.
