US Patent:

7201401, Apr 10, 2007

Filed:

Jul 22, 2005

Appl. No.:

11/187651

Inventors:

Steven Friedman - San Francisco CA, US

International Classification:

A63C 11/22

US Classification:

280823, 280824, 135 66, 135 70

Abstract:

A collapsible snowboarder pole is divided into a number of segments. The segments are stored in a housing that also functions as a handle when the pole is in use. Tent pole technology enables the segments to fold out and hold shape. The pole segments mate with one another and are held in place by an elastic cord. The cord provides sufficient elasticity to allow the user to pull apart the pole segments enough to disengage them from one another when collapsing the pole.

Appl. No.:

11/105261

Inventors:

Steven Friedman - San Francisco CA, US

International Classification:

A61M 5/00

US Classification:

604187

Abstract:

A card-shaped disposable auto-injector includes a two-step safety mechanism to prevent inadvertent use or activation of the injection mechanism. In one aspect, the auto-injector is sized and shaped so as to be easy to carry in a wallet-shaped case. In one aspect, it is rectangular in shape so as to facilitate carrying and storage, and to provide a relatively large amount of surface space for instructional text, diagrams, identifying information, warnings, and the like.

International Classification:

A61M 37/00

US Classification:

604131

Abstract:

Some embodiments of an infusion pump system may include a construction that is resistant to external contaminants, such as precipitation, water splashes, sweat and the like. In particular embodiments, the infusion pump system can include a pump device that is removably attached to a controller device to provide an electrical connection therebetween. In such circumstances, the infusion pump system can be assembled as a sealed construction that protects the electrical connection between the pump device and the removable controller device.

Inventors:

Amit Mhatre - Sunnyvale CA, US
Jian Yao Wu - San Jose CA, US
Mitchell Wenger - Ross CA, US
Steven Friedman - San Francisco CA, US

Assignee:

Asante Solutions, Inc. - Sunnyvale CA

International Classification:

A61M 31/00

US Classification:

604 65

Abstract:

Some embodiments of an infusion pump system may include an occlusion sensor that can be used to detect when an occlusion exists in the fluid path between the medicine reservoir and the infusion site on the user's skin. Such an occlusion may occur, for example, when the fluid flow line (e. g. , a cannula, infusion set tubing, or the like) is kinked. If the medicine dispensation path to the user is occluded, the user may receive no dosage or a lower dosage of the medicine. As such, the occlusion sensor can be used to indicate when the fluid is flowing or not flowing, thereby permitting the infusion pump system to communicate an alarm to the user if an occlusion exists.

US Classification:

604500, 128DIG 1, 128DIG 12, 604131, 604151

Abstract:

Some embodiments of an infusion pump system includes a controller device that is configured to removably attach to a pump device in a manner that provides a secure fitting, an overall compact size, and a reliable electrical connection. In particular embodiments, the controller device can be secured to the pump device in a generally side-by-side arrangement. The compact size can enhance the discreteness and portability of the infusion pump system.

Filed:

Appl. No.:

12/723905

Inventors:

Steven Friedman - San Francisco CA, US

International Classification:

A61M 25/16
A61M 25/18

US Classification:

604535, 604537

Abstract:

A device detracts fluid from a flow line into a repository for temporary storage and later use. Before an infusion set is changed, medication from the infusion set is detracted into the repository, where it is temporarily stored. Once the new infusion set is connected, medication is dispensed from the repository into the flow line of the new infusion set. The device thus reduces or eliminates waste of medication that was in the flow line of the infusion set, by saving the medication in the repository while the infusion set is being changed.
