Filed:

Dec 14, 2012

Appl. No.:

13/716001

Dan E. Azagury - Geneve, CH

Assignee:

The Board of Trustees of the Leland Stanford Jr. University - Palo Alto CA

International Classification:

A61B 17/22

US Classification:

606127

Abstract:

Systems and methods are provided for removing an obstruction from a ureter using a catheter including a distal end sized for introduction into a ureter, an infusion lumen, and an aspiration lumen. An infusion tip is provided on the distal end that includes infusion ports communicating with the infusion lumen, and one or more aspiration ports communicating with the aspiration lumen. One or more sources of fluid and/or vacuum are connectable to the tubular member such that fluid is delivered into the infusion lumen and suction is delivered into the aspiration lumen. A controller is coupled to the source(s) to control delivery of fluid to generate a radially outward pressure against a wall of a ureter adjacent the infusion tip and to control suction through the aspiration port(s) to apply a suction force against a kidney stone located adjacent the infusion tip.

International Classification:

A61M 16/04

US Classification:

12820715

Abstract:

Devices and methods for preventing tracheal aspiration as described where a cuff assembly having an inflatable member with an inflation tube fluidly coupled may be placed over a proximal end of an endotracheal tube or laryngeal mask and inserted into the patient trachea with the endotracheal tube or separately after the endotracheal tube has already been positioned. In either case, the inflatable member may be positioned distal (or inferior) to the vocal cords and proximal to the endotracheal balloon via a delivery instrument which automatically positions the balloon in proximity to the vocal cords.

International Classification:

A61M 1/06
A61B 5/00

Abstract:

A system embodied in an article of clothing for synchronizing one or more breast-pumping sessions of an individual (such as a mother) and milk consumption by a second individual (such as a baby or infant) is described. In particular, based on measurements of a volume of the collected milk as a function of time and received information specifying milk consumption by the second individual as a function of time, a control circuit may determine a need for milk. Then, the control circuit may provide feedback based on the determined need for milk that synchronizes the one or more breast-pumping sessions and the milk consumption. For example, the feedback may alert the individual to initiate a breast-pumping session and/or may provide a signal to a breast pump that initiates a breast-pumping session.

International Classification:

A61B 5/107
A61M 16/04

Abstract:

Described here are devices and methods for measuring a distance in an airway. In some instances, the devices may comprise an outer shaft and an inner shaft that is slidably disposed in a lumen of the outer shaft. An expandable stopper may be positioned at a distal end of the inner shaft, which may be configured to engage a carina of a patient. The device may comprise one or more alignment markings and one or more displacement markings that may be used to measure a distance between a distal tip of an endotracheal tube and the carina. In some variations, measurement may be facilitated by the use of an alignment guide that may attach to a predetermined portion of an endotracheal tube.
