  • Publication number: 20250160675
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a non-linear, heart rate adaptive, cardiac artifact filter designed to reduce cardiac artifacts in a patient's impedance respiration signal. The patient's impedance respiration signal may be acquired using electrocardiogram (“ECG”) sensors and may be impacted by the patient's cardiac activity. This impact occurs at a single dynamically changing frequency determined from heart rate measurement. The adaptive cardiac artifact filter can be used to filter unwanted cardiac artifacts from the impedance respiration signal to provide a more accurate representation of the patient's cardiac activity. A filtered impedance respiration signal can then be displayed or analyzed to further the monitoring and treatment of the patient. The heart rate adaptive, cardiac artifact filter may be implemented in a physiological monitoring device that may be, in turn, a part of a system.

  • Publication number: 20250152801
    Abstract: Embodiments of negative pressure wound therapy apparatuses and methods for using such apparatuses are disclosed. In some embodiments, a negative pressure wound therapy apparatus includes a controller configured to determine a level of exudate in a canister (or a dressing) based at least in part on one or more characteristics of pressure signals generated by a negative pressure source and monitored by a pressure sensor. One such characteristic of the pressure signals can be amplitude, which may increase as a level of exudate in the canister (or dressing) increases. The canister (or dressing) can include a filter configured to become occluded in order to prevent overflow of the canister (or dressing). The controller can be additionally configured to detect and indicate a canister (or dressing) pre-full condition before the filter becomes occluded. More efficient and reliable operation of the negative pressure wound therapy apparatus can thereby be attained.
