600/537000, 600/549000
Abstract:
A patient management system includes a programmable patient monitor for monitoring and recording a plurality of physiological conditions of a patient, a plurality of physiological condition sensors and a communications unit. The plurality of patient monitoring sensors are electrically coupled to the programmable patient monitor. Each sensor detects a particular physiological condition of the patient, such as core temperature, ECG electrodes for providing an electrocardiogram and blood oximetry sensors. The patient monitor is small and compact and easily worn by the patient during his normal at home activities. To provide communication with a caregiver via a remote controller at the caregiver's location, a communications unit is disposed in the facility. The communications unit may be selectively coupled to the programmable patient monitor for receiving, storing and transmitting to the remote controller patient physiological condition data and for transmitting instructions from the remote controller to the programmable patient monitor. When the patient connects the patient monitor to the communications unit, the patient can communicate with the caregiver at the remote location.

US Patent:
48210285, Apr 11, 1989
Filed:
Jul 16, 1987
Appl. No.:
7/073984
Inventors:
Clinton Deckert - Poway CA
Larry L. Wilson - Poway CA
Assignee:
Centaur Sciences, Inc. - Stamford CT
International Classification:
G08B 2100
US Classification:
340606
Abstract:
A dual controller for an IV infusion system comprises a microprocessor to concurrently control the rate of infusion through two IV units. The control of the rate of infusion is provided by a stepper motor driven regulator which is selectively positionable for compressibly engaging the IV tubing. A flow sensor employs a case of infrared transparent material which mounts to a drip chamber of the infusion unit. The flow sensor provides an output pulse to the microprocessor in response to a drop of fluid in the drip chamber interrupting a light path extending from an array of light emitting diodes and a photo transistor. The light emitting diodes are pulsed between energized and non-energized states so that changes in the ambient light level do not adversely effect the sensed drop rate.

US Patent:
56203128, Apr 15, 1997
Filed:
Mar 6, 1995
Appl. No.:
8/399183
Inventors:
Oscar Hyman - Park Ridge IL
Jeffery Pribil - Algonquin IL
Avi Zeilig - Rosh-Ha'ain, IL
Clinton Deckert - Poway CA
Assignee:
Sabratek Corporation - Niles IL
International Classification:
F04B 4308
US Classification:
417474
Abstract:
An infusion apparatus for infusing liquid into a patient and having a housing adapted to receive a cassette with a flexible tube through which liquid may be pumped, a pump disposed within the housing and adapted to pump liquid through the flexible tube of the cassette, and a door, connected to the housing, which has an open position and a closed position. The apparatus includes latching means for maintaining the door in the closed position and first and second release means operatively coupled to the latching means. The first and second release means are independently operable so that the door is released by the latching means only upon actuation of both the first and second release means. As a result, inadvertent opening of the door due to jarring of the infusion apparatus is minimized or prevented. The latching means may comprise first and second latching means for maintaining the door in the closed position, wherein the first latching means is releasable only by the first release means and wherein the second latching means is releasable only by the second release means.

Unitary Molded Elastomer Conduit For Use With A Medical Infusion Pump

View page
US Patent:
62035282, Mar 20, 2001
Filed:
Mar 30, 1999
Appl. No.:
9/281236
Inventors:
Clinton L. Deckert - Poway CA
James T. Maerzke - Kenosha WI
Jeffrey P. Brown - Danville VA
Assignee:
Baxter International Inc. - Deerfield IL
International Classification:
A61M 3700
US Classification:
604131
Abstract:
A unitary molded elastomer conduit for use with a medical infusion pump. The molded conduit includes a plurality of elongated tubular sections defining a continuous lumen therethrough. A first interior surface of the molded conduit includes an interior region having surface characteristics for clamping off the lumen to stop the flow of fluid transport, or for clamping the lumen for use with the peristaltic mechanism of the medical infusion pump. Another interior surface is provided in the molded conduit which is associated with another of the plurality of elongated sections of the integral elastomer conduit. The second interior surface defines a second interior region having surface characteristics for coupling ultrasound across the conduit traversed to the lumen in order to detect gas entrainment and the like. The second interior region thus provides a textured surface relative to the first interior region to direct the signal energy from the signal coupled across the conduit traversed to the lumen. Additionally, external features may be provided for positioning the plurality of elongated tubular sections of the conduit relative to the peristaltic pumping mechanism of the medical infusion pump for fluid transport and characterization.

Drop Controller

View page
US Patent:
44603533, Jul 17, 1984
Filed:
Sep 8, 1980
Appl. No.:
6/185378
Inventors:
Clinton L. Deckert - Poway CA
Jon A. Jenkins - Rancho Santa Fe CA
Larry L. Wilson - Poway CA
Assignee:
Imed Corporation - San Diego CA
International Classification:
A61M 500
US Classification:
604 31
Abstract:
Apparatus controls the rate of passage of fluid drops through a drip controller in accordance with a preset rate. When the rate of passage of the fluid drops is less than the preset rate, a stepper motor is incrementally operated at progressive instants of time to open the drip chamber until the measured rate is equal to the preset rate. When the rate of passage of the fluid drops is greater than the preset rate, the stepper motor is operated instantaneously to close the passage through a number of increments corresponding to the difference in the measured and preset rates. An alarm is energized when the stepper motor is positioned to provide for a maximum flow of fluid and the rate is still below the preset rate. An alarm is also energized when the passage is closed and the preset rate indicates a desired flow of fluid. An emergency motor is also provided to control the opening in the passage.

Jeffery Pribil - Algonquin IL
Clinton Deckert - Poway CA
Arie Kalo - Nes-Ziona, IL
Assignee:
Sabratek Corporation - Skokie IL
International Classification:
A61M37/00
US Classification:
604131
Abstract:
A cassette which is adapted to be insertable into and removable from an infusion pump. The cassette has a housing, a length of flexible tubing supported by the housing, and a first vertically movable member disposed in the housing. The first vertically movable member has a slot formed therein, and a portion of the flexible tubing is disposed within the slot. The first vertically movable member is movable between a clamped position in which the flexible tubing is clamped to prevent any substantial liquid flow therethrough and an unclamped position in which substantial liquid flow through the flexible tubing is enabled, and a spring is provided for biasing the first vertically movable member to the clamped position. The first vertically movable member may be designed so that the closure of a door of an infusion pump in which the cassette is inserted will cause the vertically movable member to be in the unclamped position to allow liquid flow through the flexible tubing. The cassette may have means for maintaining the first vertically movable member in the unclamped position, such as a retaining pin.

Appl. No.:
6/562958
Inventors:
Clinton L. Deckert - Poway CA
Assignee:
Warner-Lambert Company - Morris Plains NJ
International Classification:
A61M 500
US Classification:
604 81
Abstract:
A system for controlling the flow of intravenous fluids to a patient provides for the sequential administration of two different intravenous fluids at independently preselected drop rates. The system includes a primary administration set associated with a first fluid container, a secondary administration set associated with a second fluid container, and a controller having a control valve operatively associated with both administration sets to control the fluid flow rate through the particular administration set in use. The system further comprises a connector means in the primary administration set, upstream from the control valve, for joining the secondary administration set to the primary administration set. A one-way valve, disposed in the primary administration set upstream from the connector means, prevents fluid flow through the one-way valve whenever hydrostatic pressure in the secondary set is greater than the hydrostatic pressure in the primary set. Drop sensors, operatively associated with drip chambers in each of the administration sets, are electrically connected with the controller to monitor and sense whether there is fluid flow in the particular system.
