Publication number: 20150374537Abstract: Systems and methods for thermal management of a patient in an MRI environment are disclosed. The systems include a non-magnetic pump that provides fluid through fluid flow channels to a patient in the MM environment. In one embodiment, a control system adjusts the temperature or rate of flow of fluid provided to the patient in order to maintain or adjust the patient's temperature. In one embodiment, a display unit provides information on the temperature of the patient or the fluid and enables a user to adjust parameters of operation.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 30, 2015Publication date: December 31, 2015Inventor: Roger Susi

Patent number: 8500694Abstract: It may desirable to monitor or control a pump remotely. For example, the pump may be positioned near the patient, with remote control or monitoring of the pump occurring in a control room. In one exemplary embodiment, the pump is used in an MRI environment. In another exemplary embodiment, the pump is used in a hyperbaric chamber. The pump may monitor one or more physiological parameters and transmit them to the remote. The pump may also transmit information relating to the pump's operation. The pump may send the device and/or physiological data using one or more packets. The packets may consist of low priority sequential packets and high-priority asynchronous packets. The high-priority packets may enable the real-time monitoring of a patient's heart beat or other physiological parameter.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2012Date of Patent: August 6, 2013Assignee: Iradimed CorporationInventor: Roger Susi

Publication number: 20060173412Abstract: Liquid infusion apparatus includes non-magnetic materials in a pumping structure and ultrasonic drive motor therefor, and in a controller that supplies drive signals to the motor to facilitate convenient operation in intense magnetic fields without distorting the magnetic fields and without radiating objectionable radio-frequency interference. A non-MRI-compatible liquid infusion apparatus is temporarily replaced with MRI-compatible, non-magnetic liquid infusion apparatus without disconnecting a patient from an installed intravenous infusion set to continue infusing liquid within the MRI environment. The pumping apparatus operates on a segment of a liquid conduit that is mounted in tension between a linear peristaltic pump and platen, with associated safety interlocks to assure proper operation of infusing liquid into a patient compatibly with conditions in an MRI environment.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 10, 2005Publication date: August 3, 2006Inventor: Roger Susi

Patent number: 6277081Abstract: An apparatus is provided for detecting each of the five known anesthetic agents, CO2, and N2O when monitoring a patient's respiratory gas stream during anesthesia. A source of infrared radiation emits the infrared tight through a gas stream and onto the infrared detector/sensor. The detector may contain ten analytical channels, each channel containing an independent infrared detector and a specific bandpass infrared filter which only permits certain wavelengths of the infrared radiation to reach the respective infrared detector. One of the channels is a blocked detector which serves as the reference point. A calibration and processing means is also provided to compensate for factors such as offset voltage, cross coupling, wideband changes and thermal drifts which may affect the accuracy of the gas measurements.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 1999Date of Patent: August 21, 2001Assignee: Invivo Research, Inc.Inventors: Roger Susi, Arthur R.
