Patent number: 11523903Abstract: A tray and packaging system for a prosthetic valve delivery system permits conversion from a storage and/or shipping configuration to a set up and preparation configuration. In a first configuration, a delivery system can be supported by first and second main trays with the elongate catheter of the delivery system arranged to extend linearly from the first main tray to the second main tray, and in a second configuration, the delivery system can be supported by the first and second main trays with the elongate catheter of the delivery system turned back in a U-shaped manner with the deployment portion of the delivery system positioned to the side of the control handle portion of the delivery system.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 2020Date of Patent: December 13, 2022Assignee: Medtronic, Inc.Inventors: Robert Murray, Sameer Upadhyaya, Mark Casley, Patrick Macaulay, Ak Masud, Paul Cassidy, David Clarke

Patent number: 10329066Abstract: A visualization device for use with a loading tray includes a frame comprising a floor, a first side wall extending generally perpendicular from the floor, and a second side wall extending generally perpendicular from the floor and spaced from the first side wall. The visualization device further includes a mirror abutting the floor of the frame. A magnifying glass may also be supported by top edges of the first and second side walls, or by runners coupled to the top edges of the first and second side walls. The visualization device may be slideably disposed in a reservoir of a loading tray.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 2015Date of Patent: June 25, 2019Assignee: Medtronic CV Luxembourg S.a.r.l.Inventors: Dawn Kruetzfeldt, Glenn Stante, Sameer Upadhyaya

Patent number: 9144494Abstract: A prosthetic valve delivery system that is improved in controllability by way of a proximal handle system. Such a handle system of the present invention advantageously permits a controlled fine or micro movement or adjustment of a distal sheath for uncovering a plunger that is to be loaded with a prosthetic valve for deployment thereof. The delivery system of the present invention permits a trigger-release for a gross or macro movement to the sheath relative to the plunger. Also, the control handle of the delivery system is shaped and contoured for ease in manipulation of the micro-control actuator.Type: GrantFiled: May 11, 2012Date of Patent: September 29, 2015Assignee: Medtronic, Inc.Inventors: Robert Murray, Sameer Upadhyaya, Mark Casley, Patrick MacAulay, Ak Masud, Paul Cassidy, David Clarke
