Apparatus And Method For Detecting Bacterial Growth Beneath A Wound Dressing
view source
US Patent:

7749531, Jul 6, 2010
Filed:

Jun 8, 2005
Appl. No.:

11/148131
Inventors:

Jon Booher - Lake Forest CA, US
Assignee:

Indicator Systems International - San Clemente CA
International Classification:

A61F 13/00
A61M 25/02
G01N 33/48
US Classification:

424443, 600433, 422 58
Abstract:

An apparatus and method are provided for visually monitoring, detecting, and/or determining the presence, absence, and/or growth of harmful or potentially harmful bacterial microorganisms beneath a wound dressing, in one example used to cover an indwelling central venous catheter or other catheter. A bacteria detection apparatus includes a barrier membrane, a permeable membrane for placement proximate a wound or a catheter insertion site, and an indicator between the barrier membrane and the permeable membrane for indicating the presence of bacteria proximate the permeable membrane. A method of using a bacterial growth detection apparatus is also provided.

US Patent:

20010023324, Sep 20, 2001
Filed:

Apr 23, 1999
Appl. No.:

09/298398
Inventors:

ALLAN PRONOVOST - SAN DIEGO CA, US
JON BOOHER - LAKE FOREST CA, US
International Classification:

A61B005/00
US Classification:

600/582000, 600/365000
Abstract:

A non-invasive glucose monitoring device includes a mechanism for stimulating salivary glands secretion of saliva into oral fluid prior to collecting a sample of the oral fluid. A mechanism is provided for detecting the amount of glucose in the sample, a mechanism also being provided for quantitating blood glucose level based on the amount of glucose detected. A method of non-invasively monitoring glucose includes the steps of stimulating salivary glands secretion of saliva into oral fluid, collecting a sample of the oral fluid, detecting an amount of glucose in the sample, and then quantitating the blood glucose level based on the amount of glucose detected. These methods and devices are used to diagnosis individuals with glucose levels that indicate a diabetic disease state. The present invention is also usable to monitor the blood glucose levels of subjects who are being treated for diabetes.

Processes For Preparing A Polymeric Indicator Film

US Patent:

20110274593, Nov 10, 2011
Filed:

Jan 20, 2011
Appl. No.:

13/010725
Inventors:

Joel R. Gorski - Perrysburg OH, US
Jon Booher - Advance NC, US
International Classification:

G01N 33/52
C09J 5/02
US Classification:

422400, 156 60
Abstract:

Disclosed herein are processes for preparing a polymeric indicator film which can be used to determine the presence of bacterial growth in fluids and substances which contact the film. In particular, in the disclosed processes, a pH indicator is incorporated into the polymeric film. The incorporated pH indicator in the film remains transparent under neutral conditions, whereas under acidic conditions, the pH indicator in the film imparts a distinguishable color to the film.
