Apparatus And Method For Remotely Monitoring Implanted Cardioverter Defibrillators

US Patent:

5321618, Jun 14, 1994

Filed:

Apr 27, 1993

Appl. No.:

8/053852

Inventors:

Lawrence Gessman - Cherry Hill NJ

International Classification:

G06F 1542, A61N 136

US Classification:

36441306

Abstract:

An apparatus for remotely monitoring the performance of an implanted cardioverter defibrillator includes a remote apparatus adapted which receives commands from and transmits data to a central monitoring facility over telephone communication channels. The remote apparatus includes equipment for acquiring a patient's ecg waveform and transmitting that waveform to the central facility over the telephone communication channel. The remote apparatus also includes a segment, responsive to a command received from the central monitoring facility, for enabling the emission of audio tone signals from the cardioverter defibrillator. These audio tones are detected and sent to the central monitoring facility via the telephone communication channel. The remote apparatus also includes patient alert devices which are activated by commands received from the central monitoring facility over the telephone communication channel.

Method And Apparatus For Converting A Catheter To A Cardiac Pacing Electrode

US Patent:

4637404, Jan 20, 1987

Filed:

Oct 20, 1983

Appl. No.:

6/543866

Inventors:

Lawrence J. Gessman - Cherry Hill NJ

International Classification:

A61N 105

US Classification:

128786

Abstract:

An apparatus and method for effecting cardiac pacing capture utilizes an in-place catheter having at least one lumen terminating in a distal port which is positioned within a pre-selected heart chamber. The other end of the lumen terminates in a proximal port which is connected to a cannular connector containing an adjustable seal having a distal portion of a wire electrode extending therethrough. The seal is loosened and the wire electrode is advanced through it and the catheter lumen until its distal end emerges from the distal port of the in-place catheter and engages a surface of the heart chamber. The seal is re-tightened if desired; for example, to continuously monitor pressure by means of a pressure monitor connected to a port in the cannular connector. The proximal end of the wire electrode is connected to the output of a pacemaker pulse generator. The output of the pacemaker pulse generator is set to a level at which cardiac pacing capture is achieved. '.

Method And Apparatus For Differentiating Antegrade From Retrograde P-Waves And For Preventing Pacemaker Generated Tachycardia

US Patent:

4543963, Oct 1, 1985

Filed:

Nov 22, 1983

Appl. No.:

6/554179

Inventors:

Lawrence J. Gessman - Cherry Hill NJ

International Classification:

A61B 504, A61N 136

US Classification:

128702

Abstract:

An improved dual chamber cardiac pacing apparatus detects retrograde P-waves conduction by either determining polarity of the P-wave at a location in the right atrium adjacent the A-V node; or the sequence of signals which appear at this predetermined location and at a second predetermined location in the atrium in proximity to the sinus node. The pacing apparatus will ignore retrograde P-waves when initiating sequential pacing in the ventricle. In addition, the pacing apparatus will provide a burst of high rate atrial pacing pulses upon detection of the simultaneous occurrence of retrograde P-wave conduction, high rate heart beat and narrow QRS complexes.
