International Classification:

A61B 6/00
G01S 13/89

US Classification:

600407, 342 22

Abstract:

Provided is a micropower impulse radar (MIR) pneumothorax detector. The detector includes a processor and a handheld MIR scanner. The handheld MIR scanner includes a device housing, an antenna located within the device housing, circuitry that generates MIR signals, and circuitry that processes received echoes of the MIR signals and provides the processed received echoes to the processor. The processor automatically determines whether a pneumothorax is present based on the processed received echoes of the MIR signals.

International Classification:

A61N 1/36

US Classification:

607 60

Abstract:

The present disclosure involves a programmer configured to program an implanted medical device. The programmer includes a circuit board and first and second wireless communication devices located on the circuit board.

US Classification:

607 46, 345158, 345174

Abstract:

A method of visualizing a user interaction with a clinician programmer is disclosed. A user engagement with respect to a screen of the clinician programmer is detected via one or more sensors associated with the screen of the clinician programmer. One or more locations on the screen of the clinician programmer corresponding to the user engagement is determined. An external monitor is communicatively coupled to the clinician programmer. The external monitor displays one or more cursors that graphically represent the one or more locations on the screen of the clinician programmer corresponding to the user engagement, respectively.

International Classification:

A61N 1/36

US Classification:

607 59, 607 60

Abstract:

A clinician programming system operable to control an implantable medical device includes a clinician programmer and a secondary unit. The clinician programmer has a housing, and includes a first display configured to display information indicative of the inputs by the clinician or display information indicative of status of an implantable pulse generator, the first display having a first display size. The secondary unit is separate from the housing of the clinician programmer and includes a secondary display. The secondary display is configured to communicate with the clinician programmer via the secondary display communication interface and configured to display information received via the secondary display communication interface.

Appl. No.:

10/138165

Inventors:

Hani Kayyali - Shaker Heights OH, US
Raymond Yoder - Willoughby OH, US

International Classification:

A61B005/04

US Classification:

600/544000

Abstract:

A head mounted medical device for obtaining and processing EEG, EKG, and EOG/EMG signals from a wearer. The device utilizes electrodes organized into multiple electrode assemblies for ease of use and replacement, with the electrode assemblies being removably connected to the headband. The device includes processing and conditioning circuitry in the headband, the processing and conditioning including amplification, filtering, A/D conversion, and multiplexing of the analog signals generated by the electrodes, reducing noise influences and improving the handling and mobility of the device. The device connects to an external receiving device that then monitors and/or records the resulting serial, digital, and multiplexed data signal. The external device might also provide power and/or commands to the medical device.

Inventors:

- Clarence NY, US
Raymond Lloyd Yoder - Willoughby OH, US

International Classification:

A61N 1/372

Abstract:

The present disclosure involves a method of communicating with an implantable medical device. A programmer is provided. The programmer has a plurality of diversity antennas. The diversity antennas are configured to send wireless signals to the implantable medical device. A subset of the diversity antennas is selected. A communications link is established between the programmer and the implantable medical device through the selected subset of the diversity antennas. A link quality of the communications link is measured. A different subset of the diversity antennas is selected to communicate with the implantable medical device if the link quality falls below a predetermined threshold.
