US Patent:

7051735, May 30, 2006
Filed:

Apr 28, 2003
Appl. No.:

10/424299
Inventors:

Douglas M. Mechlenburg - Murrysville PA, US
Mark C. Estes - Simi Valley CA, US
William H. Broadley - Pittsburgh PA, US
J. Raymond Pujol - Murrysville PA, US
Assignee:

RIC Investments, LLC. - Wilmington DE
International Classification:

A61M 16/00
US Classification:

12820421, 12820418, 12820423
Abstract:

An interactive pressure support system and method employing a pressure generating system that provides a pressure therapy to the pulmonary system of a patient and an interactive system associated with the pressure generating system to enable the patient to interact with the pressure support system, for example, to monitor the effectiveness of the treatment provided by the pressure support system. The interactive system includes an output device that provides first information to the patient, an input device that allows the patient to provide second information that is based on the first information and a control unit that controls the operation of the output device to present the first information and collection of the second information via the input device. In a further embodiment, the operation of the pressure generating system is controlled based on the second information provided by the patient.

US Patent:

8287460, Oct 16, 2012
Filed:

Apr 11, 2008
Appl. No.:

12/101486
Inventors:

William H. Broadley - Pittsburgh PA, US
Richard J. Lordo - Butler PA, US
Ronald D Fligge - Greensburg PA, US
Daniel Martin - Delmont PA, US
Duane H Carter - Irwin PA, US
Steven J Albright - Delmont PA, US
Assignee:

RIC Investments, LLC - Wilmington DE
International Classification:

A61B 5/08
US Classification:

600538, 600529, 600301
Abstract:

An apparatus and associated method for collecting data for a sleep study. The apparatus includes a sensor adapted to collect data relating to a parameter of a user of the apparatus over a period of time, and a controller operatively coupled to the sensor. The controller is adapted to: (a) receive configuration information specifying a predetermined amount of valid data that is required for a sleep study to be deemed valid, (b) receive the data relating to the parameter and determine an amount of the received data that is valid, and (c) cause a study status indicator to be output by the apparatus based on the amount of the received data that is determined to be valid and the predetermined amount specified in the configuration information.

20090082831, Mar 26, 2009
Filed:

Sep 16, 2008
Appl. No.:

12/211275
Inventors:

Zachary D. Paul - Pittsburgh PA, US
Stefanie Lattner - Gibsonia PA, US
Benjamin A. Giovannelli - Delmont PA, US
Michael E. Colbaugh - Trafford PA, US
Todd Kirby - Spring Church PA, US
Kevin Wells - Saltsburg PA, US

Al Vangura - Gibsonia PA, US
Michael Cessna - McKees Rocks PA, US
International Classification:

A61N 1/08
US Classification:

607 59
Abstract:

A vestibular stimulation system and method that includes a housing, a power supply disposed in the housing, an electrode assembly adapted to be coupled to the housing, and a controller disposed in the housing and operatively coupled to the power supply. The controller controls the delivery of energy from the power supply to the electrode assembly. An input element is also disposed on an exterior surface of the housing. The input element is manually manipulated to control the operation of the vestibular stimulation system. A display disposed on an exterior surface of the housing provides visual information regarding the operation of the vestibular stimulation system. A mounting assembly is coupled to the housing to mount the housing on such a user.
