Abstract

A urinary output monitoring system including a urine collection assembly coupled with an automated urinary output monitoring device. The urine collection assembly includes a drainage tube, an accumulator coupled with the drainage tube, and a urine collection container fluidly coupled with the accumulator. The automated urinary output monitoring device operatively is coupled with the urine collection container. Logic determines a volume of urine collected in the container based on a signal from a load cell of the monitoring device. A vacuum pump coupled with the accumulator generates a flow of air that the drags the urine along the drainage tube to the accumulator. The accumulator separates the flow of air from the urine. The flow of air enters the drainage tube by way of a female external urinary catheter.

Abstract

A dynamic pressure response drainage system including control logic configured to enable measuring of residual fluid disposed within the drainage lumen. The residual fluid volume is measured by detecting the magnitude of the dynamic pressure response in the system containing the residual fluid when a sudden displacement (e.g. increase or decrease) of air volume occurs inside the system. The pressure burst magnitude is related to the pressure needed to move the mass of fluid, thus the fluid volume can be calculated from measurements of the burst pressure. The magnitude of the measured air pressure exhibits a dynamic pressure response corresponding to the mass of fluid in the tube. Either positive or negative pressure bursts can be used to produce and measure the corresponding positive or negative dynamic response spike pressure.

Abstract

Disclosed herein is a system for monitoring the fluid balance of a patient. The system includes a fluid infusion system to deliver an infusion fluid to the patient, and a urine output (CO) system to collect and measure a UO expelled from the patient. The UO system is coupled with the fluid infusion system. A fluid input/output (I/O) logic determines fluid I/O data from fluid infusion data and CO data, rendering the I/O data on a display, and transferring I/O data to an electronic medical record. A method of monitoring a fluid balance of a patient can include: (i) calculating a fluid balance from the I/O data, (ii) comparing the fluid balance with a fluid balance limit stored in a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, and (iii) generating an alert when the fluid balance exceeds the fluid balance limit. The method can also include generating a revised infusion order from the I/O data.

Abstract

A medical instrument for insertion into and removal of kidney stone fragments from a urinary tract of a patient body includes a flexible elongate shaft coupled with a fragment retaining mechanism. The retaining mechanism can be configured to retain a plurality of fragments so that the plurality of fragments is removed from the patient with a single insertion/extraction cycle of the instrument. A fragment gathering mechanism urges fragments toward the retaining mechanism. In use, the instrument can be inserted through a working channel of a ureteroscope.

Fluid drainage systems include a flexible drainage tube providing fluid communication with a collection container. Dependent loops can form within the tube leading to pooling of urine and provide an increased risk in CAUTI. Dynamic pressure response systems can automatically detect the presence of dependent loops and provide a low-rate positive air pressure to clear the columnized fluid. Further, the system can automatically detect mixed fluid states when a noise level of pressure signals increases, the system can then provide high-rate positive air pressure to clear mixed fluid state liquid from the tube lumen.

Abstract

A vascular occlusion treatment system includes an ultrasound imaging system having an imaging control circuit communicatively coupled to an ultrasound imaging probe and to a display screen, and an ultrasonic vibration system having an ultrasonic generator operatively coupled to a medical ultrasonic object, such as an ultrasonic catheter. The ultrasonic catheter has a corewire with a distal tip. The ultrasonic generator has a generator control circuit that alternatingly switches between an ultrasonic work frequency and a tracking frequency. The generator control circuit sends a notification to the imaging control circuit when the generator control circuit has switched from the ultrasonic work frequency to the tracking frequency. The imaging control circuit responds by initiating a search in an ultrasound imaging space to locate the distal tip that is vibrating at the tracking frequency, and indicating a location of the distal tip in the ultrasound image displayed on the display screen.

Inventor Van Liere, Chad

Abstract

A catheter assembly including, in some embodiments, a sonic connector at a proximal end of a core wire, a damping mechanism around a proximal end portion of the core wire, and a heat sink connected to the damping mechanism. The sonic connector is configured to couple to an ultrasound-producing mechanism and transmit vibrational energy to the proximal end of the core wire, which core wire includes a distal end portion configured to modify intravascular lesions. The damping mechanism includes a gasket system around the proximal end portion of the core wire in a damping-mechanism bore of the catheter assembly. The damping mechanism is configured to damp the vibrational energy. A system including, in some embodiments, the catheter assembly and the ultrasound-producing mechanism is also disclosed.

Abstract

A composite medical balloon includes a base balloon with first and second tapered portions (108) and a barrel portion (106) therebetween. The base balloon includes one or more fiber layers. A hybrid layer is applied over the base balloon, such as over the fiber layer. The hybrid layer includes a tube (70) for covering the barrel portion (106) and a spiral wrapping (80) for covering one or both of the first and second tapered portions (108). Related methods of forming of such a balloon are also disclosed.

  • Rockwood, Casey

Abstract

A catheter (10) is provided for relieving compression among blood vessels by introducing a filler into an intravascular space to form a bridge connecting the vessels in order to relieve the compression. The catheter is provided with a shaft (14), expandable elements (16,18) supported by the shaft for reliving compression in the vessel temporarily, and a retractable needle (30) located between the expandable elements. When deployed, such as by using an actuator (40), the needle may deliver the filler to the intervascular space to form a bridge between the vessels for relieving the compression once the catheter is removed.
