  • Patent number: 11941071
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods, systems, and non-transitory computer-readable medium for a web-based process to generate electronic checklists and deploy electronic checklists. One method may include: receiving bulk data from a user device; parsing the bulk data to form a loadable database for an electronic procedure system of a vehicle; generating a rendering of an electronic checklist of one or more electronic checklists based on the loadable database; transmitting a first message to the user device, the first message including the rendering of the electronic checklist; iteratively performing an authoring process using a web-based tool to update the loadable database; receiving a second message from the user device, the second message including an instruction to transmit the updated loadable database to the electronic procedure system of the vehicle; and transmitting a third message to the vehicle, the third message including the updated loadable database.

  • Publication number: 20220280228
    Abstract: Novel and versatile apparatuses for delivering one or more of thermal ablation and irreversible electroporation therapies to target tissue. In some examples, a device includes at its distal end a plurality of electrodes that can be advanced or retracted to pierce patient tissue, with a variable position and size shaft electrode provided near the distal end of the device to allow manipulation of therapy fields to achieve various tissue destruction field shapes. A number of method of use examples are described as well.

  • Patent number: 11045648
    Abstract: Biological cell destruction is achieved through a combination of injection of a substance and application of an electrical field. The substance, such as a cationic polymer, is selected for its electrical characteristics which can add to the transmembrane electric field of a cell when the electrical field is applied. In some examples, electrical field application is performed to encourage spatial concentration of the injected substance favorable to increased transmembrane field strength. The biological cell or cells are destroyed primarily through irreversible electroporation.

  • Patent number: 10874402
    Abstract: An occlusive medical device system may include a microcatheter, an elongate shaft, an occlusive medical device, wherein a release wire is configured to releasably attach the medical device to the distal end of the shaft at a release mechanism, and an RF generator. In a first electrical state current is not flowing and in a second electrical state current is flowing to the medical device. The shaft is slidable between a first position wherein the medical device is disposed within the microcatheter, a second position wherein at least a portion of the medical device is disposed outside of the microcatheter and the release mechanism is disposed within the microcatheter, and a third position wherein the release mechanism is disposed outside of the microcatheter. The medical device system is configured to be in the second electrical state when the elongate shaft is in the second position.
