Patent number: 9827438Abstract: A system for irradiation of a vascular space and its contents is presented. An adapter device having a vascular access end and an optical interface end can include a waveguide affixed within a waveguide lumen and extending outwardly through the vascular access end. The optical interface end includes a tapered terminus configured to engage with a cavity of an optical connector adapter, creating an optical interface between the waveguide of the adapter device and a waveguide of a light or radiation source. The adapter device enables the simultaneous administration of radiation and exogenous fluids to a patient while maintaining the optical interface isolated from any fluids.Type: GrantFiled: July 3, 2014Date of Patent: November 28, 2017Assignee: UVLRX THERAPEUTICS, INC.Inventors: Scot Johnson, Michael Harter, Victor Josef Scheeren

Patent number: 9814899Abstract: Systems and methods for illumination of a vascular space and its contents using an electromagnetic energy source that supplies a plurality of wavelengths ranging from ultraviolet to infrared are shown. Illumination can be performed using multiple wavelengths, simultaneously or sequentially, and can be performed in accordance with a protocol where an initial illumination produces an effect that is at least partially reversed by a subsequent illumination. Illumination protocols can be stored on a database and accessed via a user interface displayed on the electromagnetic energy source. The database can be used to store data related to performance of system components, and such data can be used to override or modify an illumination protocol.Type: GrantFiled: July 3, 2014Date of Patent: November 14, 2017Assignee: UVLrx Therapeutics, Inc.Inventors: Scot Johnson, Michael Harter

Publication number: 20070299895Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide an apparatus and method of generating electrical stimulation waveforms using Direct Digital Synthesis (DDS). The waveform generation substantially reduces intensive processor calculations and commands required for the generation of waveforms via Pulse Width Modulation (PWM). DDS technology is integrated into single-integrated circuit components, capable of generating waveforms based on singular digital word commands. The use of DDS integrated circuits allows for rapid changes in frequencies, automatically sweeps frequencies between user defined limits, and are capable of a wide range of frequencies. Further, utilization of DDS in waveform generation allows for software updatable functionality. Additionally, because DDS technology outputs a smooth sine wave, the need for extensive filtering is drastically reduced.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 11, 2007Publication date: December 27, 2007Inventors: Scot Johnson, Andrew DeWeerd

Publication number: 20070293793Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a system and method for delivering a plurality of modalities for the treatment of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Light therapy is applied to the carpal tunnel region of the hand during alternating periods of automated carpal bone structure extensions, whereby said light therapy penetrates beyond the bone structures to the carpal (volar and transverse) ligament structures, median nerve, and muscles. The light therapy is applied both above and below these structures. Simultaneously applied electrical stimulation may occurs between electrodes located both above and below various positions about the carpal tunnel region. Both light therapy and electrical stimulation are positioned optimally to affect the carpal tunnel via automated structures that provide continuous feedback to a control system. The automated structures also stimulate the flow of blood and movement of fluids associated with pressure inducing edema through the carpal tunnel region.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 11, 2007Publication date: December 20, 2007Inventor: Scot Johnson
