Implantable Sensor With Wireless Communication

View page
US Patent:
6409674, Jun 25, 2002
Filed:
Sep 24, 1998
Appl. No.:
09/159653
Inventors:
Brian P. Brockway - Shoreview MN
Perry Alton Mills - Arden Hills MN
Lynn M. Zwiers - Lino Lakes MN
Assignee:
Data Sciences International, Inc. - St. Paul MN
International Classification:
A61B 500
US Classification:
600486, 600488
Abstract:
An implantable sensor device, such as a pressure monitor, is implanted in the left ventricle (LV), in other heart chambers, or elsewhere, from which it wirelessly communicates pressure information to a remote communication device. The sensor device can be implanted using a placement catheter, an endoscope, or a laparoscope. The device can be secured entirely within the LV or heart wall, such as by using a corkscrew, a helical anchor, a harpoon, a threaded member, a hook, a barb, a fastener, a suture, or a mesh or coating for receiving fibrous tissue growth. The implantable sensor device provides less invasive chronic measurements of left ventricular blood pressure or other physical parameters. The wireless communication techniques include radio-telemetry, inductive coupling, passive transponders, and using the body as a conductor (referred to as âintracorporeal conductive communicationâ or a âpersonal area networkâ). Data from the receiver is downloadable into a computer for analysis or display.

Catheter With Physiological Sensor

View page
US Patent:
6659959, Dec 9, 2003
Filed:
Apr 3, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/825130
Inventors:
Brian P. Brockway - Shoreview MN
Lynn M. Zwiers - Lino Lakes MN
Perry A. Mills - Arden Hills MN
Mark J. Drexler - St. Paul MN
Assignee:
Transoma Medical, Inc. - Arden Hills MN
International Classification:
A61B 502
US Classification:
600488, 600486, 604163, 604263
Abstract:
The disclosed embodiments present improved catheters with physiological sensors. In one embodiment, the catheter includes, generally, a pressure transducer/electronics assembly connected to a pressure transmission catheter. The pressure transmission catheter includes a hollow tube made from a low compliance material. The distal end of the hollow tube is filled with a gel-like material or plug which acts as a barrier between the catheter liquid and the target fluid. The hollow tube is partially filled with a low viscosity liquid and is in fluid communication with the gel-like material and the pressure transducer. The pressure of the target fluid is transmitted to the liquid in the hollow tube through the gel-like material and/or the wall of the distal tip and is fluidically transmitted to the pressure transducer. The pressure transmission catheter is capable of being inserted into a vessel lumen or inserted into a lumen of a therapeutic or diagnostic catheter for biomedical applications. This provides the ability to directly measure the pressure effects of the treatment catheter.

Barriers And Methods For Pressure Measurement Catheters

View page
US Patent:
7344505, Mar 18, 2008
Filed:
Oct 15, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/272489
Inventors:
Alyse Renee Stofer - Woodbury MN, US
Lynn Marlo Zwiers - Lino Lakes MN, US
Assignee:
Transoma Medical, Inc. - Arden Hills MN
International Classification:
A61B 5/00
A61B 5/02
US Classification:
600561, 600 30, 600486
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus of the present invention provide viscoelastic barrier materials for use as barriers in devices such as pressure measurement catheters. Improved barrier materials sometimes include at least one barrier material precursor combined with an amount of a softener. In other embodiments, two barrier material precursor components are combined without a softener to provide a fully cross-linked barrier material having certain softness characteristics. In various embodiments, a softener may be dimethyl silicone oil and may be combined with a barrier material precursor in an amount of between about 25% and about 45% by weight, relative to the final barrier material. Once a viscoelastic barrier material is prepared, it may be placed in a pressure transmission catheter or similar device, for example by injecting the gel into a lumen of the catheter via a syringe. Barrier materials of the present invention have one or more advantageous properties, such as a desired softness, full cross-linking, resistance to washout from a catheter, enhanced stability and/or the like.

US Patent:
20080011297, Jan 17, 2008
Filed:
Jun 30, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/478936
Inventors:
Scott Thomas Mazar - Woodbury MN, US
Stanley Eugene Kluge - Watertown MN, US
Thomas Mark Suszynski - Independence MN, US
Lynn Marlo Zwiers - Lino Lakes MN, US
Scott Robert Tiesma - New Hope MN, US
International Classification:
G01N 29/02

A61M 16/00
US Classification:
12820418, 12820423, 73 2324, 73 2327
Abstract:
A method of monitoring a physiologic condition includes suspending, via trans-tracheal implantation, a dual pressure sensor for exposure to a bidirectional airflow within the trachea. A respiratory parameter is measured via the dual pressure sensor based on an airflow-induced pressure differential sensed by the dual pressure sensor, and a physiologic condition is determined via the measured respiratory parameter.
