Patent number: 11883615Abstract: A catheter insertion device is provided for positioning and inserting a catheter, particularly a midline catheter into a patient. The insertion device includes an actuator assembly movable with respect to a housing for deploying the catheter over a needle. A step-wise movement of the actuator advances a catheter assembly, including the catheter, in stages over the introducer needle. An indexing finger of the catheter assembly engages the actuator body during distal advancement of the actuator, and deflects as the actuator is moved proximally. The device further includes a lockout device such as a button, collar, slider, or tab, which allows movement of the catheter relative to the needle but prevents advancement of the catheter to the first stage of the step-wise movement.Type: GrantFiled: January 9, 2023Date of Patent: January 30, 2024Assignee: Becton, Dickinson and CompanyInventors: Shawn Ray Isaacson, Weston F. Harding, Charles D. Shermer, Daniel M. Stipe

Publication number: 20220347433Abstract: Disclosed herein are magnetically trackable stylets and methods thereof. A magnetically trackable stylet can include a stylet body including a core wire, a magnetic assembly, and an outer construction over the core wire and the magnetic assembly. The magnetic assembly can include one or more magnetic field-producing elements disposed alongside the core wire in a magnetically trackable distal portion of the stylet body. The outer construction, which can be an overmolded layer, a reflowed layer, a potting layer, or a shrink-wrapped layer, can be around the core wire and the magnetic assembly. The stylet body can be configured to be disposed in a lumen of a medical device such as a catheter for magnetically tracking a tip of the medical device in vivo without breakage of the stylet body due to bending-related fatigue. A method of such a magnetically trackable stylet can include a method of using the stylet.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 27, 2022Publication date: November 3, 2022Inventors: Michael Davis, Breanna E.

Publication number: 20190038877Abstract: A catheter assembly and method for introducing a needle to positioning a catheter, such as a peripheral IV catheter into a patient includes piercing a vein with a needle that extends from the distal end of the catheter. The needle has a distal tip with a configuration that pierces the vein at an angle to penetrate a vein with a reduced incidence of transfixing, injury of the inner surface of the vein or inadvertently passing through side wall of the vein. The distal tip of the needle is introduced into the lumen of the vein at an incline where the distal tip is spaced from an inner surface of the vein and a bevel surface of the distal tip faces the inner surface of the vein opposite the entry point of the needle into the vein. A catheter on the needle is advanced from the distal tip of the needle into the lumen of the vein.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 3, 2018Publication date: February 7, 2019Inventors: Shawn Ray ISAACSON, Weston Finch HARDING, Jeffrey O'BRYAN, Ralph Lee SONDEREGGER

Publication number: 20190038876Abstract: A needle is provided that can be used for introducing or aspirating fluids to a patient or as an introducer needle for positioning and inserting a catheter, such as a peripheral IV catheter into a patient. The needle can be an introducer needle that extends from the distal end of the catheter during insertion. The needle has an insertion tip with a configuration to assist penetration into a vein with a reduced incidence of injuring the inner surface of the vein or inadvertently passing through side wall of the vein. The needle tip can be farmed with a curved distal end surface where the pointed tip is spaced radially inward relative to the outer surface of the needle. In another embodiment the needle tip can have a reverse beveled surface having an axial length, angle, and curvature to assist in penetrating the vein with a reduced incidence of transfixing the vein.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 3, 2018Publication date: February 7, 2019Inventors: Shawn Ray ISAACSON, Weston Finch HARDING

Publication number: 20180193227Abstract: A membrane for use in connection with a closed system transfer device has a body with a proximal portion opposite a distal portion along a central axis and a skirt extending radially outward from the distal end such that a lip is formed at a transition between the proximal portion and the distal portion. The membrane further has at least one well recessed in a proximal direction from a distal end of the distal portion, thereby forming a channel within the distal portion having an open first end, a closed bottom end, and a pair of sidewalls extending between the first end and the second end. At least one slit extends through at least a portion of the body in a direction of a plane aligned along or parallel to the central axis.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 11, 2018Publication date: July 12, 2018Inventors: Paul Paia Marici, Shawn Ray Isaacson, Andrew C. Farinella, Mitchell Evan Gatesman

Patent number: 6920565Abstract: A system and method are provided wherein digital data representing content and associated license rights may copied to a storage medium, such as a removable storage medium, whereby the serial number of the copied-to storage medium is integrated into the licensing scheme utilized to secure the digital content. As a result, the digital content is pre-authenticated and bound to the copied-to storage medium, obviating the need to access a network or other location for access to the protected content.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2001Date of Patent: July 19, 2005Assignee: Iomega CorporationInventors: Shawn Ray Isaacson, Robert L.

Publication number: 20020198841Abstract: A method and system are provided wherein captured digital data from an application rendering digital data on a client computing device or downloaded thereto is converted into a secure (encrypted) digital format. Then, certain digital rights are applied to the digital data, such as the right to play and listen to the file x number of times, for a set period of time, unlimited play rights on that computer, the right to transfer to a portable device, or other like license limitations. This technique can build on existing architectures such as a system using the Total Recorder product. Thus, in connection with storage of captured digital data, the present invention converts the file into a secure format and applies DRM rules to the file depending upon the nature of the content and/or default rules for downloading or recording content. One may purchase additional rights to the digital data as well.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 21, 2001Publication date: December 26, 2002Inventors: Shawn Ray Isaacson, Richard Tolan Brown, Ronald Frank Hales
