Control System And Process For Application Of Energy To Airway Walls And Other Mediums
US Patent:
7837679, Nov 23, 2010
Filed:
Jul 17, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/458084
Inventors:
Michael Biggs - Denver CO, US
Roger A. Stern - Cupertino CA, US
Christopher J. Danek - San Carlos CA, US
Roger A. Stern - Cupertino CA, US
Christopher J. Danek - San Carlos CA, US
Assignee:
Asthmatx, Inc. - Sunnyvale CA
International Classification:
A61B 18/10
US Classification:
606 34, 607102, 606 41
Abstract:
The present invention includes a system for delivering energy to an airway wall of a lung comprising an energy delivering apparatus and a PID controller having one or more variable gain factors which are rest after energy deliver has begun. The energy delivering apparatus may include a flexible elongated member and a distal expandable basket having at least one electrode for transferring energy to the airway wall and at least one temperature sensor for measuring temperature. The PID controller determines a new power set point base on an error between a preset temperature and the measured temperature. The algorithm can be P=P+G(αe+βe+γe) where α, β and γ are preset values and α is from 1 to 2; β is from −1 to −2; and γ is from −0. 5 to 0-5. In another variation, the controller is configured to shut down if various measured parameters are exceeded such as, for example, energy, impedance, temperature, temperature differences, activation time and combinations thereof. Methods for treating a target medium using a PID algorithm are also provided.

Assignee:
Asthmatx, Inc. - Mountain View CA
International Classification:
A61B 19/00, A61B 18/18, A61F 7/00, A61F 7/12
US Classification:
128898, 606 41, 607 96
Abstract:
This relates to a method of treating airways in a lung to decrease asthmatic symptoms. The method also includes steps of measuring a parameter of an airway at a plurality of locations in a lung, identifying at least one treatment site from at least one of the plurality of locations based on the parameter, and applying energy to the treatment site to reduce the ability of the site to narrow.
Integrated Smoke Evacuation Electrosurgical Pencil And Method
US Patent:
8057470, Nov 15, 2011
Filed:
Aug 30, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/897457
Inventors:
Alan R. Lee - Littleton CO, US
Michael Biggs - Denver CO, US
Michael Biggs - Denver CO, US
Assignee:
ConMed Corporation - Utica NY
International Classification:
A61B 18/14
US Classification:
606 41, 606 45
Abstract:
An electrosurgical pencil includes an adjustable-length suction tube which surrounds a stationary electrode to evacuate smoke and electrosurgical byproducts from a surgical site. An electrode anchor unit is located within the interior of the suction tube to allow relative movement of the suction tube relative to a stationarily-retained electrode, and to receive and connect to different lengths of the electrodes. Adjusting the length of the suction tube relative to the different lengths of the electrode achieves effective evacuation, among other things.
