Patent number: 9586012Abstract: A support tool for a supply assembly delivers a functional fluid to an implantable medical device. The supply assembly defines a supply axis. The support tool includes a support member defining an opening. The opening has a support axis, and the opening is configured to receive the supply assembly. The support member includes a three dimensionally contoured nesting surface that conforms to a corresponding three dimensionally contoured surface of the supply assembly. The corresponding surface of the supply assembly nests against the nesting surface to support the supply assembly such that the supply axis remains substantially fixed relative to and aligned with the support axis.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2013Date of Patent: March 7, 2017Assignee: Medtronic, Inc.Inventors: Scott L. Kalpin, Andrew Bzostek, Steven L. Hartmann, Matthew W. Koenig, Brad Jacobsen, Scott A. Sarkinen, Peter J. Borowitz, Bradley A. Jascob

Patent number: 9339601Abstract: A support tool or a supply assembly that delivers a functional fluid to a patient includes an antenna array for receiving or sensing a navigation field. The navigation field can be generated from a localizer. The localizer can be incorporated or included in an implanted device.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2011Date of Patent: May 17, 2016Assignee: Medtronic, Inc.Inventors: Scott L. Kalpin, Andrew Bzostek, Steven L. Hartmann, Matthew W. Koenig, Brad Jacobsen, Scott A. Sarkinen, Peter J. Borowitz, Bradley A. Jascob

Patent number: 9216257Abstract: A system to generate a navigation field relative to an implanted device is disclosed. The system can include a small and/or thin localizer array positioned in the implanted device. A power management scheme and circuits can be provided to conserve and resource power in the implanted device.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2011Date of Patent: December 22, 2015Assignee: Medtronic, Inc.Inventors: Scott L. Kalpin, Andrew Bzostek, Steven L. Hartmann, Matthew W. Koenig, Brad Jacobsen, Scott A. Sarkinen, Peter J. Borowitz, Bradley A. Jascob

Patent number: 9113812Abstract: A system can include an implantable device, an instrument, a display device and a processor. The implantable device can include a port and a localizer for generating a navigation field. The instrument can include a tracking device for sensing the navigation field. The processor can be operably coupled to the tracking and display devices and operable to determine a real-time location of the instrument relative to the port and a trajectory of the instrument relative to an insertion axis of the port. The processor system can be operable to cause the display device to graphically render the instrument as a plurality of two or three-dimensional rings positioned around an axis coincident with the determined trajectory and in spaced relation to each other along the axis. A first ring of the plurality of rings can be positioned at the determined instrument location relative to a graphical representation of the port location.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2013Date of Patent: August 25, 2015Assignee: Medtronic, Inc.Inventors: Scott L. Kalpin, Andrew Bzostek, Steven L. Hartmann, Matthew W. Koenig, Brad Jacobsen, Scott A. Sarkinen, Peter J. Borowitz, Bradley A. Jascob
