| 20090192471 | DISPOSABLE INFUSION DEVICE WITH LOCKED CANNULA - An infusion assembly comprises a disposable wearable infusion device having a body arranged to be adhered to a patient's skin and a cannula arranged to be received by the device body to deploy the cannula for delivering a medicament to beneath the patient's skin. A lock locks the cannula within the device body when the cannula is deployed in the device. | 07-30-2009 |
| 20090312768 | SHOCKWAVE BALLOON CATHETER SYSTEM - A system for breaking obstructions in body lumens includes a catheter including an elongated carrier, a balloon about the carrier in sealed relation thereto, the balloon being arranged to receive a fluid therein that inflates the balloon, and an arc generator including at least one electrode within the balloon that forms a mechanical shock wave within the balloon. The system further includes a power source that provides electrical energy to the arc generator. | 12-17-2009 |
| 20090326453 | DISPOSABLE INFUSION DEVICE WITH REDUNDANT VALVED SAFETY - A wearable infusion device comprises a reservoir that holds a liquid medicament, an outlet port that delivers the liquid medicament to a patient, a pump that holds a volume of the liquid medicament received from the reservoir and displaces substantially all of the volume of the liquid medicament when actuated, and at least a first valve, a second valve, and a third valve. The valves establish fluid connection between the reservoir and the pump when in a first valve configuration and establish fluid connection between the pump and the outlet when in a second valve configuration. At least two of the valves isolate the outlet from the reservoir when the valves are in the first valve configuration. | 12-31-2009 |
| 20100016862 | METHOD OF PROVIDING EMBOLIC PROTECTION AND SHOCKWAVE ANGIOPLASTY THERAPY TO A VESSEL - A system comprises a guide wire, an embolic protection basket carried on the guide wire, and a catheter carried on the guide wire adjacent the embolic protection basket. The catheter includes an elongated carrier and a balloon about the carrier in sealed relation thereto. The balloon is arranged to receive a fluid therein that inflates the balloon, and an arc generator including at least one electrode within the balloon forms a mechanical shock wave within the balloon. | 01-21-2010 |
| 20100114020 | SHOCKWAVE VALVULOPLASTY CATHETER SYSTEM - A valvuloplasty system comprises a balloon adapted to be placed adjacent leaflets of a valve. The balloon is inflatable with a liquid. The system further includes a shock wave generator within the balloon that produces shock waves. The shock waves propagate through the liquid and impinge upon the valve to decalcify and open the valve. | 05-06-2010 |
| 20100114065 | DRUG DELIVERY SHOCKWAVE BALLOON CATHETER SYSTEM - A catheter comprises an elongated carrier and a balloon carried by the carrier in sealed relation thereto. The balloon has an outer surface and is arranged to receive a fluid therein that inflates the balloon. The catheter further comprises a shock wave generator within the balloon that forms mechanical shock waves within the balloon, and a medicinal agent carried on the outer surface of the balloon. The medicinal agent is releasable from the balloon by the shock waves. | 05-06-2010 |
| 20100286602 | DISPOSABLE INFUSION DEVICE WITH RESETTABLE LAST DOSE LOCK-OUT - A wearable infusion device comprises a reservoir that holds a liquid medicament, an outlet that delivers the liquid medicament to a patient, and a pump that displaces a volume of the liquid medicament to the outlet when actuated. The device further includes a lock-out that disables actuation of the device responsive to a predetermined condition of the device. The lock-out is resettable. | 11-11-2010 |
| 20110112484 | WEARABLE INFUSION DEVICE AND SYSTEM - Disclosed is a drug infusion system comprising a drug infusion device having a reservoir, a window for viewing the contents of the reservoir, a cannula arranged to be deployed beneath the skin of a patient, and an actuator configured to be manually actuated to drive a medicament from the reservoir to the cannula. The system also has a cannula cover and a needle handle that holds a needle for insertion into the patient. The cannula cover and needle handle are detachably attached to the drug infusion device, and each is attachable to the other. The device further comprises a septum and a septum pincher to seal the device. The device also comprises a pumping mechanism, part of which are a last-dose lock-out mechanism and an occlusion detection mechanism, both of which operate on the same actuator. | 05-12-2011 |
| 20110130742 | DISPOSABLE INFUSION DEVICE FILLING APPARATUS AND METHOD - An infusion system includes a disposable wearable infusion device and a filler device. The disposable infusion device has a body arranged to be adhered to a patient's skin and a reservoir for holding a liquid medicant to be infused into the patient. The filler device is arranged to detachably receive the infusion device body and to transfer a volume of the liquid medicant to the infusion device reservoir. The filler device may be part of a service device arranged to detachably receive the infusion device and which also includes a cannula driver and a cannula for providing the infusion device with a cannula and deploying the cannula to beneath a patient's skin. | 06-02-2011 |
| 20110166570 | SHOCKWAVE BALLOON CATHETER SYSTEM - A system for breaking obstructions in body lumens includes a catheter including an elongated carrier, a balloon about the carrier in sealed relation thereto, the balloon being arranged to receive a fluid therein that inflates the balloon, and an arc generator including at least one electrode within the balloon that forms a mechanical shock wave within the balloon. The system further includes a power source that provides electrical energy to the arc generator. | 07-07-2011 |
