Filed:

May 26, 2011

Appl. No.:

13/117132

Inventors:

Khosrow Daneshvar - Los Angeles CA, US
Samuel Arman Daneshvar - Los Angeles CA, US
Chong II Lee - Los Angeles CA, US
Sergio Lara Pereira Monteiro - Los Angeles CA, US

International Classification:

A61N 1/375
A61N 1/362

US Classification:

607 36, 607 45

Abstract:

A device for electrical stimulation of the brain, heart, and other neurons and muscles, capable of modifying the electrical activity of its environment in ways that are desirable for a better life style of a patient with brain, heart, or other problems. When used for brain stimulation, the device is able to superimpose an electrical current on the natural current that happens to occur, when the natural currents cause some undesirable effect, as in Parkinson's disease. When used for heart stimulation, the device is able to superimpose an electrical current on the natural current that happens to occur, originating at the sino-atrial node, which causes a healthy heart to pump blood to the lungs and to the body. The device offers an improvement over prior art of being capable of adjusting the position of the stimulating electrodes.

International Classification:

A61N 1/375
A61N 1/37

Abstract:

A device to improve the safety of head, heart, muscle and organ electrical stimulation devices during MRI scanning. The device consists of introducing an alternative second loop containing an energy dissipating device, with the possible addition of means to divert most of the induced energy during the MRI scanning into the second loop and into the energy dissipating device, thereby protecting the electrodes, the battery and the controlling electronics of the electrical stimulation device.
