Appl. No.:

13/676695

Inventors:

Brian K. McCollum - Redwood City CA, US
Michael J. Conroy - Cupertino CA, US

Assignee:

BOSTON SCIENTIFIC SCIMED, INC. - Maple Grove MN

International Classification:

A61L 2/26

US Classification:

206571

Abstract:

The disclosure pertains to a vessel for holding replacement heart valves and associated positioning and installation apparatus which is configured and adapted to contain a biocidal sterilization fluid during and following exposure of a delivery system for the replacement heart valve to sterilization by ionizing radiation and methods of use therefor. The vessel includes a shield which limits exposure of biologically derived material therein to radiation. The vessel also provides a storage and shipping container for the replacement heart valve in which the biologically derived material is maintained in a sterile fluid environment.

International Classification:

G01S 15/89
H05K 7/20

Abstract:

Acoustic imaging artifacts produced by imaging systems and devices can be reduced or eliminated by including a multisink medium in the systems or devices. The multisink material can be disposed between an acoustically reflective component of the imaging system or device and an ultrasound transducer of the imaging system or device. Inclusion of a multisink medium that is thermally conductive and acoustically non-conductive can reduce acoustic imaging artifacts while maintaining or improving heat management within imaging systems and devices.
