Patent number: 11911091Abstract: In at least a medical system including a structure, a plurality of transducers located on the structure, a shaft member configured to percutaneously deliver the structure to a location within a patient, a plurality of conductors at least partially within the shaft member and coupled to the transducers, and a controller operatively coupled to the transducers via the conductors, the controller may cause first electrical power to be delivered to one or more of the transducers for a first period of time, where second electrical power less than the first electrical power, if delivered for a second period of time longer than the first period time would result in a steady-state temperature of a portion of the shaft member that would be just below a safe temperature limit for at least the portion of the shaft member.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2019Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: KARDIUM INC.Inventors: Daniel Robert Weinkam, Shane Fredrick Miller-Tait, Lok Tin Lam

Publication number: 20220192741Abstract: A pulsed field ablation system may be configured to control characteristics of high voltage pulses delivered during one or more cardiac cycles based on a characteristic of one or more cardiac cycles. For example, if a particular cardiac cycle has a first characteristic, a first high voltage pulse train may be delivered, but if the particular cardiac cycle has a second characteristic different than the first characteristic, a second high voltage pulse train having at least a different characteristic than the first high voltage pulse may instead be delivered.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 8, 2021Publication date: June 23, 2022Inventors: Daniel Martin Reinders, Shane Fredrick Miller-Tait

Publication number: 20220047319Abstract: Pulsed field ablation systems are disclosed, some of which may include an output pulse generation circuit and a high voltage pulse generation circuit electrically connected to the output pulse generation circuit. The high voltage pulse generation circuit may be configured to deliver a high voltage pulse set to the output pulse generation circuit. The output pulse generation circuit may be configured to generate an output pulse set at least in response to the high voltage pulse set. The output pulse set may be deliverable to a set of selectable electrodes and may be configured to cause pulsed field ablation of tissue. Each pulse in the output pulse set may have a rise time that is shorter than a rise time of at least one high voltage pulse in the high voltage pulse set.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 11, 2021Publication date: February 17, 2022Inventors: Shane Fredrick MILLER-TAIT, Gerald Floyd CUMMINGS

Patent number: 10681805Abstract: Some aspects of this disclosure generally are related to improving the robustness of a flexible circuit structure, for example, by providing fault-tolerant electrical pathways for flow of electric current through the flexible circuit structure. In some embodiments, such fault tolerance is enhanced by way of a conductive mesh provided between an adjacent pair of resistive elements. Some aspects are related to improved voltage, current, or voltage and current measurement associated with various pairs of adjacent resistive elements at least when the various pairs have differing distances between them.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2019Date of Patent: June 9, 2020Assignee: KARDIUM INC.Inventors: Daniel Robert Weinkam, Shane Fredrick Miller-Tait, Fernando Luis de Souza Lopes
