System And Method For Intraparenchymal Drug Infusion
US Patent:
2011000, Jan 6, 2011
Filed:
Sep 14, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/881732
Inventors:
Brian D. Nelson - Birchwood MN, US
Ann M. Gronda - New Brighton MN, US
Matthew H. Adams - Zimmerman MN, US
Ann M. Gronda - New Brighton MN, US

Assignee:
MEDTRONIC, INC. - Minneapolis MN
International Classification:
A61M 5/142, A61B 5/03
US Classification:
604151, 600561
Abstract:
A system for performing an intraparenchymal drug infusion including a pump device, a delivery tube, a sensor, and a processor. The tube is fluidly coupled to the pump device, establishing an infusate pathway from the pump to an infusate exit port of the delivery tube. The sensor is positioned to sense a parameter indicative of pressure in the infusate pathway. Finally, the processor is programmed to generate information indicative of infusate delivery effectiveness of a drug infusion procedure based upon information from the sensor. In some embodiments, the processor generates a net infusion pressure profile, such as a pressure-time curve, and prompts display of the pressure profile to a neurosurgeon for subsequent evaluation of infusate delivery effectiveness.

International Classification:
F16L 37/00
US Classification:
285321, 285318, 285276, 604905
Abstract:
A breakaway connector for use with a medical (e. g. , catheter) or other fluid system. The connector may include two couplers that engage one another via a substantially frictionless retention device. In one embodiment, the retention device includes a biased cylindrical roller attached to one coupler that contacts an outer surface of the other coupler. The outer surface may include a grooved surface to receive the roller when the couplers are fully attached.

International Classification:
A61M 5/168, A61K 49/00, A61M 5/142, A61K 31/7088
US Classification:
6048911, 514 44 A, 424 91, 604151, 604503
Abstract:
This invention provides treatment compositions as well as systems and methods of determining and administering an effective amount of treatment for a neurological disorder. The treatment composition can contain a labeled interfering RNA (iRNA) agent capable of decreasing expression of a target RNA associated with the neurological disorder. The methods of the invention include determining an effective amount of a therapeutic composition by introducing a solution containing a tracer into the brain of a mammal. The tracing solution is monitored until a target volume of distribution at steady state distribution is substantially achieved, and the rate of delivery of the therapeutic composition is determined. The therapeutic composition can then be administered at the rate determined by use of the tracing solution.

Assignee:
Medtronic, Inc. - Minneapolis MN
International Classification:
A61M 25/00
US Classification:
604524
Abstract:
A catheter for use with a medical infusion or other fluid system. The catheter may include a flexible elongate tubular core that is resistant to radial collapse, and a separate tubular tip member forming the catheter distal tip. The catheter may further include a flexible, e.g., elastomeric, jacket that surrounds at least a portion of the tubular core. The jacket may have a radial compliance that is greater than that of the tubular core. The jacket may further define an outer diameter that is about 4 to about 6 times greater than an outer diameter of the core.
