Abstract: A package-type fluid machine includes a compressor unit including a compression portion that compresses a fluid, a motor that drives the compression portion, and a cooling fan that is driven by the motor; a machine chamber in which the compressor unit is disposed; an inverter chamber which is adjacent to the machine chamber and in which an inverter is disposed; a partition wall that partitions off the machine chamber from the inverter chamber and has an opening; and an inverter intake port that is disposed in the inverter chamber to take in a cooling gas. The cooling fan is disposed on a side of the machine chamber, the opening being located on the side. The cooling fan is driven to cause the cooling gas to flow from the inverter intake port to the opening to cool the inverter.

Abstract: A method for diagnosing, validation of diagnosis and treating a patient having lesions in both arteries of left and right lower limbs. By determining that a larger vessel diameter lesion to be treated first, catheters and an operation time can be reduced is to be treated first on a priority basis based on diagnostic data, deciding that a smaller vessel diameter lesion is to be treated next, then treating the lesions substantially continuously.

Abstract: Provided are a treatment method, a separation method, and a filter assembly capable of preventing so-called “Blue Toe syndrome” which is so-called cholesterol crystal embolism of which a fat-soluble compound such as cholesterol crystals generated during dilation of a stenosed site causes clogging in glomeruli of peripheral capillaries or kidney, acute renal failure, and the like. Cholesterol crystals generated from plaque during use of a balloon catheter are taken out of the body and removed using a centrifugal separation device or a filter, and usable living cells are returned to the body to reduce blood transfusion and reduce cholesterol crystal embolism.

Abstract: A signal processing method according to the present disclosure is for use in a signal processing system including a first magnetic detection unit, a second magnetic detection unit, and a processing unit. The signal processing method includes an angle calculating step and a failure diagnosis step. The angle calculating step includes transforming, by using an inverse trigonometric function, a sine signal, a cosine signal, and a tangent signal into a first angle signal, a second angle signal, and a third angle signal, respectively. The failure diagnosis step includes making a failure diagnosis of the first magnetic detection unit and the second magnetic detection unit by comparing with each other two or more pieces of angle information selected from first angle information, second angle information, and third angle information.

Abstract: In a method for diagnosing and treating a patient having lesions in both arteries of left and right lower limbs. By determining that a lesion distal to an aortailiac bifurcation is to be treated first, catheters and an operation time can be reduced. The lesion to be treated first can be on a priority basis based on diagnostic data, deciding that a lesion proximal to the bifurcation is to be treated next, and then treating the lesions substantially continuously.

Abstract: A catheter that includes a catheter marker having a radiopaque property that can identify a distal end orientation of the catheter for a short time inside the body, and a diagnostic method. A catheter marker having a radiopaque property is disposed asymmetrically with respect to the center of a shaft centerline of the catheter, and angiograms having different shapes under the radiopaque are obtained, so that it is possible to rather easily determine a position and a distal end orientation of the catheter.

Abstract: The problem to be overcome by the present disclosure is to reduce harmonic components included in output signals. A magnetic sensor includes a detecting magnetoresistance element and a canceling magnetoresistance element. A tilt angle formed by a magnetic sensing direction of the canceling magnetoresistance element with respect to a magnetic sensing direction of the detecting magnetoresistance element falls within a predetermined range. The predetermined range is defined by reference to either n×?/3 or n×?/3+?/2, where ? is an angle of rotation of a rotator corresponding to one cycle of a fundamental harmonic included in output signals of the detecting magnetoresistance element and n is a natural number equal to or greater than 1.

Abstract: A medical device and a medical device set are disclosed capable of improving passability of a balloon catheter through a body lumen and protection of a balloon. The medical device is an auxiliary device for the balloon catheter, and the medical device has an elongated base shaft, and a distal end member including an extending portion that extends along a longitudinal direction of the base shaft and a balloon protecting portion that is provided on a distal end side relative to the extending portion and is formed in a spiral shape. The balloon protecting portion includes a space portion configured to at least partially accommodate the balloon of the balloon catheter that is provided inward in a radial direction of the spiral shape, and a tapered portion having an outer diameter which decreases toward the distal end side.
