  • 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.

  • 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 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.

  • Vehicle having a driver assistance device
    Patent number: 10023091
    Abstract: A vehicle, including a driver assistance device with the aid of which an autonomous driving mode without driver intervention may be carried out in an autopilot mode, and including at least one storage element for storing objects, such as a cup holder and/or a storage table, which is adjustable between a position of non-use and at least one position of use. The driver assistance device is assigned a control unit, which enables an adjustment of the storage element into the position of use when the autopilot mode is activated and disables an adjustment of the storage element into the position of use when the autopilot mode is deactivated.
