Assignee:
St. Jude Medical, Atrial Fibrillation Division, Inc. - St. Paul MN
International Classification:
A61B 5/05
US Classification:
600547, 606 32, 606 34
Abstract:
A system and method for assessing a degree of coupling between an electrode and tissue in a body is provided. Values for first and second components of a complex impedance (e. g. , resistance and reactance or impedance magnitude and phase angle) between the electrode and the tissue are obtained. These values are used together with a standardization value indicative of a deviation from a reference standard by a parameter associated with at least one of the body, the electrode and another component of the system to calculate a coupling index that is indicative of a degree of coupling between the electrode and the tissue. The coupling index may be displayed to a clinician in a variety of ways to indicate the degree of coupling to the clinician. The system and method find particular application in ablation of tissue by permitting a clinician to create lesions in the tissue more effectively and safely.
System And Method For Assessing Effective Delivery Of Ablation Therapy
US Patent:
8454589, Jun 4, 2013

Stephan P. Miller - Vadnais Heights MN, US
Assignee:
St. Jude Medical, Atrial Fibrillation Division, Inc. - St. Paul MN
International Classification:
A61B 18/04
US Classification:
606 34
Abstract:
A system and method for assessing effective delivery of ablation therapy to a tissue in a body is provided. A three-dimensional anatomical map of the tissue is generated and displayed with the map defining a corresponding volume. An index is generated corresponding to a location within the volume with the index indicative of a state of ablation therapy at the location. The index may be derived from one or more factors such as the duration an ablation electrode is present at the location, the amount of energy provided, the degree of electrical coupling between an ablation electrode and the tissue at the location and temperature. A visual characteristic (e. g. , color intensity) of a portion of the anatomical map corresponding to the location is then altered responsive to the index.

US Classification:
600547, 600587
Abstract:
A system and method for assessing and displaying a degree of contact between a sensor, an electrode, and tissue in a body is provided. Values for the sensor are read, and a degree of contact is calculated. This degree of contact is displayed to a clinician in a variety of ways to indicate the degree of contact to the clinician. The system and method find particular application in ablation of tissue by permitting a clinician to create lesions in the tissue more effectively and safely.

Body Surface Mapping System
US Patent:
7957784, Jun 7, 2011
Filed:
Dec 29, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/647305
Inventors:
Eric Jon Voth - Maplewood MN, US
Don Curtis Deno - Andover MN, US
Don Curtis Deno - Andover MN, US
Assignee:
St. Jude Medical, Atrial Fibrillation Division, Inc. - St. Paul MN
International Classification:
A61B 5/04
US Classification:
600388, 600389, 600393, 600509
Abstract:
A body-surface mapping system is disclosed that uses a plurality of electrodes to map at least a portion of a human torso without having to adjust the positions of the electrodes. The body-surface mapping system energizes groupings or regions of electrodes, then compares and adjusts the current driven through each grouping or region of electrodes to produce near-uniform fields. The electrodes of the body-surface mapping system may be interconnected by wires capable of sensing interelectrode distances, such that the system can reconstruct a detailed model of a patient's torso surface. The body-surface mapping system may also use a catheter in addition to the body surface electrodes to compute both endocardial and epicardial voltage distributions.

Torque-Limiting Catheter Handle
US Patent:

Assignee:
St. Jude Medical, Atrial Fibrillation Division, Inc. - St. Paul MN
International Classification:
A61M 37/00, A61M 25/00, B25B 23/157
US Classification:
604 9504, 604523, 81473
Abstract:
A catheter includes a handle that advantageously limits the amount of torque that can be imparted to the body of the catheter. This advantageously reduces the likelihood of catheter failure, damage to tissue, or damage to medical devices introduced into the vasculature via the catheter. The catheter handle includes a grip portion that the practitioner manipulates in order to impart a torque and a torque transmitting portion operably coupled thereto that transmits the torque to the catheter body. A torque limiting mechanism decouples the torque transmitting portion from the grip portion, the body, and/or any pull wires when the torque imparted to the grip portion exceeds a torque threshold, thereby preventing excessive torques from being transmitted to the catheter body and/or pull wires. A practitioner may be able to adjust the torque threshold and may be able to disable the torque limiting mechanism.
