| 20090248100 | System and Method for Conditioning a Lithium Battery in an Automatic External Defibrillator - An inventive system and method de-passivates a direct current (DC) power source of an Automatic External Defibrillator (AED), such as an AED lithium battery. The system includes a main processor and standby processor. The standby processor monitors the age and usage of the battery. Based on the status of the monitored parameters, the system executes a conditioning discharge to remove a layer of salt crystals on the DC power source. | 10-01-2009 |
| 20100075208 | Medical Device Battery Pack with Active Status Indication - A system and method provides a status indicator to a battery pack of a medical device. The battery pack includes a power supply capable of being connected to the medical device. The battery pack also includes an indicator to automatically indicate a status of at least a portion of at least one of the battery pack and the medical device. For example, the indicator can indicate a status of the power supply. | 03-25-2010 |
| 20100076095 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MITIGATING ACUTE REOXYGENATION INJURY DURING PERCUTANEOUS CORONARY INTERVENTION - A system and methods are described for improving the management of ischemic cardiac tissue during acute coronary syndromes. The system combines a catheter-based sub-system which allows for simultaneous balloon dilation of a coronary artery and infusion of a carefully controlled perfusate during percutaneous coronary intervention. The system allows for modulation of levels of oxygen at the time of percutaneous intervention. In addition, catheters and systems are provided for administration of fluids with modified oxygen content during an intervention that incorporate upstream flow control members to compartmentalize the perfusion of the target coronary artery and the remainder of the heart. | 03-25-2010 |
| 20110092951 | Method and Apparatus for Cardiac Tissue Monitoring and Catheter-Based Perfusion for Mitigating Acute Reoxygenation Injury - A system and methods are described for improving the management of ischemic cardiac tissue during acute coronary syndromes or other ischemic conditions. A method and apparatus is described that allows mitigation of oxygen-related injury by precisely modulating the level of oxygen re-exposure during reoxygenation by a controlled feedback loop based on parameters of the tissue measured by a real-time tissue sensor or probe. | 04-21-2011 |
| 20110137361 | Medical Device with Status Indication - A system and method provides a status indicator to a battery pack of a medical device. The battery pack includes a power supply capable of being connected to the medical device. The battery pack also includes an indicator to automatically indicate a status of at least a portion of at least one of the battery pack and the medical device. For example, the indicator can indicate a status of the power supply. | 06-09-2011 |
| 20110184484 | Automatic External Defibrillator with Active Status Indicator - An AED includes defibrillation circuitry housed within an enclosure, a first processor programmed to periodically test the operability of the defibrillation circuitry and a second processor in communication with the first processor. The AED further includes a visual indicator, such as a red/green LED, positioned at the exterior of the enclosure that is operatively connected to the second processor. The second processor is programmed to control the visual indicator in response to the periodic test results provided to it by the first processor. | 07-28-2011 |
