Upon injection of fluid/particles through the Luer, the sheath expands to provide a temporary lumen which facilitates flow of fluid/particles from the proximal end of the catheter to an opening or opening adjacent to the distal end of the sheath and at or near the distal end of the catheter shaft for delivery of the fluid/particles into the vessel. Upon cessation of injection pressure, the sheath automatically contracts to provide a lower profile to easily accommodate repositioning/removal of the catheter. | 03-10-2016 |

20150057507 | System and Method for Generating Electrophysiology Maps - An electrophysiology map can be generated from a plurality of electrophysiology data points added automatically in response to defined inclusion criteria. Inclusion criteria can generally be grouped into two categories: location-based (e.g., velocity, distance moved, dwell time, and proximity) and rhythm-based (e.g., cycle length and EKG matching). As each electrophysiology data point is collected, it can be tested against one or more defined inclusion criteria, and added to the electrophysiology map when it satisfies all such criteria. Inclusion criteria can also be employed to generate the geometric model underlying the electrophysiology map. | 02-26-2015 |

20140271925 | MODULATING SURFACE AND AEROSOL IODINE DISINFECTANT SYSTEM - A method and apparatus for producing aqueous iodine solutions to be used as a surface and aerosol disinfectant under continuous and dynamic flow conditions for medical applications comprises dissolving iodine into a first water flow thereby producing a concentrated aqueous iodine solution. The iodine solution is stored and then blended with a second water flow to produce a predetermined iodine disinfectant concentration of aqueous iodine. The disinfectant concentration is then stored and chemically adjusted to polarize to the species of iodine. The disinfectant concentration is then thermodynamically adjusted to maximize retention and disinfection variables. The iodine disinfectant is then ready to be used in an application requiring disinfection using iodine. | 09-18-2014 |
20140342041 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING FILTERED AND DISINFECTED WATER - A combination micro-filtration halogen apparatus safely delivers drinking water by metering doses of concentrated aqueous iodine into a filtered water supply contained within a chamber. Untreated water is poured into the water filter column that allows for gravity to force the water through filters and the filtered or purified water depending on the filters is stored within a lower chamber of the column for disinfection. An aqueous iodine roller metering system controls the amount of iodine dispensed from an aqueous iodine container to the filter column. Turning the roller mechanism accurately meters a selected dose of concentrated aqueous iodine from the iodine container into the lower chamber of the water column. The active residual iodine disinfectant kills microbes in the filtered or purified water making it safe to consume and prevents recontamination. The iodinated drinking water also provides for essential daily human micronutrient requirements. | 11-20-2014 |
