Patent number: 11291397Abstract: An ECG monitoring system for ambulatory patients includes a small multi-electrode patch that adhesively attaches to the chest of a patient. A reusable battery-powered ECG monitor clips onto the patch and receives patient electrical signals from the electrodes of the patch. A processor continuously processes received ECG signals and stores the signals in memory in the monitor. The processor also analyzes the received ECG signals for predefined arrhythmia. If an arrhythmia is detected, a wireless transceiver in the ECG monitor transmits the event information and an ECG strip to a cellphone handset. The cellphone handset automatically relays the event information and ECG strip to a monitoring center for further diagnosis and necessary intervention.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2019Date of Patent: April 5, 2022Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventors: Thomas Solosko, Stacy Gehman, Earl Herleikson, Thomas Lyster, Shannon Fong, Kim Hansen, Jon Bishay, Chuni Kao, Brett Cross, Krishnakant Nammi, Corinne Mauser

Publication number: 20220080159Abstract: A catheter system may include a catheter hub, a septum disposed within the catheter hub, a catheter tube extending from the catheter hub, a needle hub, and an introducer needle secured within the needle hub. The catheter hub may include a push tab and one or more ribs, which may extend outwardly from an upper surface of the catheter hub. The ribs may be shorter in height than the push tab and/or may be generally parallel to the push tab. The introducer needle may include a flashback notch. In response to insertion of the introducer needle into vasculature, blood may flow into the introducer needle, through the flashback notch, and into a flashback chamber disposed between the septum and the catheter tube. The flashback chamber may be disposed distal to the push tab and the ribs, which may improve visualization of the flashback chamber by a user.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 29, 2021Publication date: March 17, 2022Inventors: Michael Garrison, Bart D.
