  • SEAL FOR A MECHANICAL CIRCULATORY SUPPORT DEVICE
    Publication number: 20240335651
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed generally to mechanical cardiovascular support systems used in the medical field to assist the movement of blood. In particular the present disclosure is directed to mechanical cardiovascular support systems where an impeller is connected to a motor via a rotary drive shaft, the motor is contained in a motor compartment, the rotary drive shaft extends from the motor compartment, and a mechanical seal, for example a rotary shaft lip seal, prevents blood from entering the motor compartment. The seal may have an inverted radial shaft seal, have two opposing radial shaft seals, and/or have one or more elastomeric discs, among other features.

  • Mouthpiece, system and method for enabling a measurement of analytes in exhaled air
    Patent number: 11678814
    Abstract: A mouthpiece for a device for measuring analytes in exhaled air includes a gas path configured to convey exhaled air to the device and a film arranged so as to block the conveying of the exhaled air through the gas path. A system, in one embodiment, includes the mouthpiece and a device configured to measure analytes in the exhaled air. The mouthpiece is configured to be releasably connected to the device. The device includes a pressure sensor and, in one embodiment, a pump configured to pump air via the mouthpiece when connected to the device. The device is configured to be enabled to measure predefined analytes in the exhaled air when a pressure curve measured via the pressure sensor satisfies one or more predefined conditions.

  • PURGELESS MECHANICAL CIRCULATORY SUPPORT SYSTEM WITH MAGNETIC DRIVE
    Publication number: 20220161019
    Abstract: Disclosed is a minimally invasive miniaturized percutaneous mechanical circulatory support system. The system may be placed across the aortic valve via a single femoral arterial access point. The system includes a low profile axial rotary blood pump carried by the distal end of a catheter. The system can be percutaneously inserted through the femoral artery and positioned across the aortic valve into the left ventricle. The device actively unloads the left ventricle by pumping blood from the left ventricle into the ascending aorta and systemic circulation. A magnetic drive and encased motor housing allows for purgeless operation for extended periods of time to treat various ailments, for example more than six hours as acute therapy for cardiogenic shock.

  • MECHANICAL CIRCULATORY SUPPORT SYSTEM WITH INSERTION TOOL
    Publication number: 20220161021
    Abstract: A minimally invasive miniaturized percutaneous mechanical circulatory support system for transcatheter delivery of a pump to the heart that actively unloads the left ventricle by pumping blood from the left ventricle into the ascending aorta and systemic circulation. The pump may include a tubular housing, a motor, an impeller configured to be rotated by the motor. The impeller may be rotated by the motor, via a shaft with an annular polymeric seal around the shaft, or via a magnetic drive. The system may have an insertion tool having a tubular body and configured to axially movably receive the circulatory support device, and an introducer sheath configured to axially movably receive the insertion tool.

  • MECHANICAL CIRCULATORY SUPPORT SYSTEM WITH GUIDEWIRE AID
    Publication number: 20220161018
    Abstract: Disclosed is a mechanical circulatory support system for transcatheter delivery to the heart, having a removable guidewire aid to assist with inserting the guidewire along a path that avoids a rotating impeller. The system may comprise a catheter shaft and a circulatory support device carried by the shaft. The device may comprise a tubular housing, an impeller and the guidewire aid. The guidewire aid may include a removable guidewire guide tube. The guide tube may enter a first guidewire port of the tubular housing, exit the tubular housing via a second guidewire port on a side wall of the tubular housing on a distal side of the impeller, enter a third guidewire port on a proximal side of the impeller, and extend proximally through the catheter shaft.
