  • Patent number: 12251551
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided herein for treating a patient in cardiogenic shock. An intravascular heart pump system is inserted into vasculature of the patient. The heart pump system has a cannula, pump outlet, pump inlet, and rotor. The heart pump system is positioned within the patient such that the cannula extends across the patient's aortic valve, the pump inlet is located within the patient's left ventricle, and the pump outlet is located within the patient's aorta. Data related to time-varying parameters of the heart pump system is acquired from the heart pump system. A plurality of features are extracted from the data. A probability of survival of the patient is determined based on the plurality of features and using a prediction model. The heart pump system is operated to treat the patient.

  • Publication number: 20240299729
    Abstract: Techniques for delaying initiation of coagulation and suppressing fibrin formation may be provided. The disclosed techniques may include providing a percutaneous blood pump that may include a metal or ceramic surface (such as a surface of a shaft, bearing, rotor, stator, etc.) that has been modified with a bifunctional modifier. The modified surface may be within a motor section and/or pump section of the blood pump. The modified surface may be configured to interact with blood. When blood is allowed to interact with the modified surface, a desirable microenvironment may be formed. The bifunctional modifier may be a functionalized aminosilane, a functionalized aminosiloxane, and/or a functionalized silanetriol. The blood pump may be configured to have a purge fluid pass through at least a portion of the motor section and/or the pump section. The purge fluid may be free of anticoagulants.

  • Publication number: 20230347132
    Abstract: Devices, system, and methods are provided based on a technique for purging a blood pump. The technique may include providing a blood pump having an impeller and providing a fluid comprising a bicarbonate. The technique may include flowing the fluid through a first gap between a bearing and an outer surface of a rotatable shaft coupled to the impeller, the bearing and gap being disposed within a lumen of a tubular member and depending on the flow rate of the fluid and the speed of the impeller, the fluid may flow through the first gap and into a second gap between the bearing and a surface of the impeller facing the bearing. The bicarbonate reduces denaturation and adsorption of any blood proteins in the gap(s).

  • Publication number: 20060136030
    Abstract: A bio-implant having a length and a proximal and a distal end. The bio-implant includes at least two laminae of dielectric material that are joined together, thereby defining a boundary and that also define a side surface that is intersected by the boundary. The laminae also define a nominal top surface that meets the side surface. At least one set of conductors is interposed between the laminae and extends lengthwise from the proximal end toward the distal end, each one of the set of conductors being terminated at the side surface to form a set of conductor terminations. Additionally, a set of electrode contacts, each is constructed on the side surface and extends over a portion of the nominal top surface, each the electrode contact contacting one of the conductor terminations.

  • Publication number: 20050096554
    Abstract: A finger mounted acoustic sensor. Various embodiments of the finger mounted acoustic sensors include sensors mounted within a casing designed to fit between fingers. The sensor may be rotated with respect to the casing. Other embodiments include mounting tubes for wearing on a finger. Sensors are embedded in the tube and on the rings such that they are easily positioned using technician's fingers. Other embodiments include rings for mounting sensors on and for steadying the sensors. The hand and finger mounted sensors may be used to provide necessary pressure to the sensor and yet provide a sensor that may be manipulated using hand and finger motion. In other embodiments sensors having a local disconnect are disclosed. Such disconnects may be attached to the clothing of a medical professional, attached via a wrist or armband or the like. Various sensor packages may be accompanied by the use of a flat or flex cable to minimize the torque necessary to manipulate the sensor.
