PREDICTING ERRONEOUS CLASSIFICATIONS OF PHYSIOLOGICAL PARAMETER SEGMENTS
An example method includes identifying data indicative of measurements of a physiological parameter of a subject over a time period. The data is divided into multiple segments including a first segment and a second segment. The method further includes determining a first label indicating whether the first segment is indicative of a condition; generating a first image that is indicative of the first segment; and determining, by inputting the first image into a trained machine learning (ML) model, that the first label is inaccurate. The method additionally includes determining a second label indicating whether the second segment is indicative of the condition; generating a second image that is indicative of the second segment; and determining, by inputting the second image into the trained ML model, that the second label is accurate. The method additionally includes outputting an indication of whether the subject has the condition based on the second label.

DOUBLE LOOP LASSO WITH SINGLE PULLER WIRE FOR BI-DIRECTIONAL ACTUATION
A catheter has a distal assembly with at least one loop with ring electrodes. A single continuous puller wire for bidirectional deflection is pre-bent into two long portions and a U-shape bend therebetween. The U-shape bend is anchored at a distal end of a deflectable section which is reinforced by at least one washer having at least two holes, each hole axially aligned with a respective lumen in the deflectable section. Each hole is centered with a lumen so that each puller wire portion therethrough is straight and subjected to tensile force only. A proximal end of the support member is flattened and serrated to provide a better bonding to the distal end of the deflectable section.
CATHETERS WITH REINFORCED SEGMENT AND ATTACHED TUBE
Catheters including an elongated shaft defining a lumen along a longitudinal axis and having a distal portion are disclosed. The elongated shaft includes a longitudinally extending inner member defining the lumen, a support member disposed on the longitudinally extending inner member, and a reinforcement member. The support member includes a proximal portion and a distal portion separated by a breakout section. The reinforcement member is disposed on the breakout section and having a reinforcement proximal end and a reinforcement distal end, the reinforcement proximal end coupled to the proximal portion and the reinforcement distal end coupled to the distal portion. An elongated tube extends along the shaft. The tube extends longitudinally along the proximal braided member radially underneath the proximal braided member, extends longitudinally on the outer surface along the distal braided member, and extends from underneath the proximal braided member to the outer surface at the breakout section.
Emergency cardiac and electrocardiogram electrode placement system
An emergency cardiac and electrocardiogram (ECG) electrode placement device is disclosed herein. The emergency cardiac and electrocardiogram (ECG) electrode placement device incorporates electrical conducting materials and elastic material into a pad that is applied to a chest wall of a patient, which places multiple electrodes in the appropriate anatomic locations on the patient to quickly obtain an ECG in a pre-hospital setting.
Method and device for cardiac monitoring
A method for early identification of the presence of coronary heart disease or an arrhythmia in a patient being examined, including the steps of: (i) non-invasive recording of EKG signals at the patient's heart when resting, (ii) filter processing of the recorded EKG signals, (iii) transferring the filtered EKG signals into orthogonalised measurement variables on the basis of vectorcardiography, and (iv) entering the orthogonalised and, in the case of incorrectly applied electrodes, corrected measurement variables into a system based on artificial intelligence in which known findings data from comparative patients are stored and, by comparing these entered orthogonalised measurement variables with the findings data of the comparative patients within the AI system, a diagnosis is obtained for the patient being examined.

Double loop lasso with single puller wire for bi-directional actuation
A catheter has a distal assembly with at least one loop, if not two, with ring electrodes. The distal assembly has an elongated support member covered by an extruded form having two lumens, one sized for nonslip tight fit with the support member. A single continuous puller wire for bidirectional deflection is pre-bent into two long portions and a U-shape bend therebetween. The U-shape bend is anchored at a distal end of a deflectable section which is reinforced by at least one washer having at least two holes, each hole axially aligned with a respective lumen in the deflectable section.

Implantable medical devices with microfabricated leads
Embodiments relate to an implantable device. Specifically, a device includes a flexible connection component that includes a set of conductive filaments that connect a set of electrodes (or traces connected to the electrodes) and circuitry that receives and/or transmits electronic signals from and/or to the electrodes.
