20120220528 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR THERAPY OF KIDNEY DISEASE AND/OR HEART FAILURE USING CHIMERIC NATRIURETIC PEPTIDES - Medical systems and methods for treating kidney disease alone, heart failure alone, kidney disease with concomitant heart failure, or cardiorenal syndrome are described. The systems and methods are based on delivery of a chimeric natriuretic peptide to a patient. Methods for increasing peptide levels include direct peptide delivery via either an external or implantable programmable pump. | 08-30-2012 |
20120277155 | THERAPY FOR KIDNEY DISEASE AND/OR HEART FAILURE - Medical systems and methods for treating kidney disease alone, heart failure alone, chronic kidney disease with concomitant heart failure, or cardiorenal syndrome are described. The systems and methods are based on delivery of a natriuretic peptide such as Vessel Dilator to a subject. Methods for increasing and maintaining peptide levels at a certain concentration include direct peptide delivery via either an external or implantable programmable pump. | 11-01-2012 |
20130197562 | Gastric Stretch Devices, and Methods for Treatment of Obesity - Medical devices, systems and methods are provided and are designed to stretch the stomach wall of a patient to treat obesity. Stretch devices attached to the stomach wall may trigger stretch receptors to expand the stomach into a state of apparent stretching, causing early onset of satiety thereby causing the patient to consume less food. Stretching of the stomach can be achieved by the attachment of stretch devices to the wall of the stomach. The devices may be expandable and contractible and, in some embodiments, may take the form of a device that expands following attachment to a wall of the stomach. | 08-01-2013 |
20130274705 | FEEDBACK-BASED DIURETIC OR NATRIURETIC MOLECULE ADMINISTRATION - Devices, systems and methods using feedback from sensors for the treatment of pathological conditions such as Kidney Disease (KD) alone, Heart Failure (HF) alone, KD with concomitant HF or cardiorenal diseases syndrome (CRS) are described. The devices, systems and methods monitor and gather patient information and administer one or more diuretic or natriuretic molecules. | 10-17-2013 |
20140031787 | FEEDBACK-BASED DIURETIC OR NATRIURETIC MOLECULE ADMINISTRATION - Devices, systems and methods using feedback from sensors for the treatment of pathological conditions such as Kidney Disease (KD) alone, Heart Failure (HF) alone, KD with concomitant HF or cardiorenal diseases syndrome (CRS) are described. The devices, systems and methods monitor and gather patient information and administer one or more diuretic or natriuretic molecules. | 01-30-2014 |
20150080682 | Monitoring Fluid Volume for Patients with Renal Disease - A method includes monitoring an indicator of fluid volume of a patient via a sensor device, and setting an initial fluid volume removal prescription for a blood fluid removal session based on the monitored indicator of fluid volume. The method may further include transmitting data regarding the indicator of fluid volume from the implantable sensor device to fluid removal device. The system includes a blood fluid removal device and control electronics configured to set the initial fluid removal volume and rate prescription. In some embodiments, the fluid removal device sets or calculated the initial fluid volume removal prescription based on the data received from the implantable sensor. The indicator of fluid volume may be an indicator of tissue fluid volume or an indicator of blood fluid volume. | 03-19-2015 |

20150148697 | PRECISION DIALYSIS MONITORING AND SYNCHONIZATION SYSTEM - A system and method for synchronizing patient medical parameters and dialysis parameters. The system and related method allow for the determination of the effect of dialysis on patient health. The invention also allows for the determination of whether observed patient health effects are due to specific dialysis parameters and for making necessary changes to the dialysis parameters in order to improve patient health. | 05-28-2015 |
