Systems, devices, and methods for ambulatory respiration assistance
11839587 · 2023-12-12 ·

Systems and devices described herein provide respiration assistance to users who have difficulty breathing on their own, and include a cuirass configured to be coupled to a thorax of the user and a ventilator fluidically coupled to the cuirass. The ventilator includes a housing, a pump including an inlet and outlet, a valve, an actuator, and a controller in communication with the actuator. The controller is configured to cause the actuator to: move the valve into a first configuration in which a first flow path of the valve fluidically couples the outlet to the cuirass and a second flow path of the valve fluidically couples the inlet to an external environment during exhalation and move the valve into a second configuration in which the first flow path fluidically couples the inlet to the cuirass and the second flow path fluidically couples the outlet to the internal volume during inhalation.

Resuscitation and ventilation asynchrony monitor

Resuscitation and ventilation monitoring devices are provided. A device includes an inlet in fluid communication with airflows exchanged with lungs of a patient and an airflow meter for measuring characteristics of the airflows. A user may provide a controller with patient information, e.g., height, weight, gender, or age, via a measurement selector, enabling the controller to determine acceptable ranges of measured airflow characteristics. The device may determine a current mode of ventilation and associated ventilator settings based on the measured airflow characteristics. The device may also identify and filter out artifacts present in the ventilation signal, and determine whether a respiratory failure phenotype is present in the ventilation. If the current mode of ventilation and associated ventilator settings fall outside an acceptable range, the ventilation is classified as off-target and the controller may cause a sensory alarm to alert the user. The device may suggest a corrective action based on the type of off-target ventilation detected. The device may also continuously analyze ventilation to determine changes in lung compliance over time and to identify pathological changes over time. The device may work within a network of devices and user interfaces via wired or wireless communication, and is not restricted to or dependent on the type of ventilatory device with which a patient is being supported.

INTERMITTENT COMPRESSION SYSTEM FOR VENO-LYMPHATIC CARE
20210290477 · 2021-09-23 ·

An intermittent compression system for veno-lymphatic care of at least one limb of a person to be treated comprising: an inelastic inflatable garment having at least one independent inflatable chamber, an inflator, in fluid communication with the inflatable chamber, at least one pressure regulator, to control the inflating pressure of the inflatable chambers, the system comprising at least one flowmeter, adapted to be in fluid communication with at least one of the garment chambers.

MEDICAL DEVICE SYSTEM AND HARDWARE FOR SENSOR DATA ACQUISITION

A medical device system for providing sensor data capture includes a medical device that may include one or more removably coupled sensor hubs and that includes a display to provide sensor data and at least one data interface (DI) port that may be a sensor-agnostic DI (SA-DI) port and a data transfer cable that may be compatible with the sensor-agnostic DI port and includes a first electromechanical connector configured to detachably couple to the SA-DI port and a second electromechanical connector configured to couple to the sensor and that includes a cable memory and processor configured to execute stored software to format sensor data according to a protocol of the SA-DI port, an authentication circuit, and a cable isolation device to limit patient leakage current flow from the medical device to the sensor and to electrically isolate the authentication circuit from the cable processor and the cable memory.

SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CARBON DIOXIDE ENHANCED DELIVERY OF TOPICAL SUBSTANCES

Systems, devices, and methods for delivery of a topical substance, including medicaments and/or cosmetic formulas, with carbon dioxide to the surface of the skin. The systems regulate the pH, temperature and viscosity of the topical substance, which provides benefits to the treatment of the skin. For beauty treatments, the systems lessen wrinkles of the skin and hydrate at the same time. For medicaments with active ingredients, the systems enhance delivery and ionic state using pH adjustment. The systems include devices that contain a reservoir of carbon dioxide, which flows through a heat control path where the temperature of the carbon dioxide is adjusted to a desired setting. The temperature-controlled carbon dioxide then mixes with the topical substance in a chamber, which is pressed against or applied to the skin to achieve the benefits.
