Apparatus And Method For Ascertaining Cardiac Output And Other Parameters

View page
US Patent:
6616614, Sep 9, 2003
Filed:
Sep 18, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/956064
Inventors:
Margaret R. Webber - Los Altos CA
Jeffrey J. Christian - San Jose CA
Harry D. Nguyen - Anaheim CA
Vladimir J. Drbal - Belmont CA
Assignee:
Keimar Corporation - Los Altos CA
International Classification:
A61B 502
US Classification:
600526, 600345, 600348, 600364
Abstract:
Apparatus for ascertaining cardiac output of the heart of a patient comprising a control and display module. A venous probe is inserted into a vein in the forearm of the patient and is coupled into the control and display module and provides an electrical signal representing the dissolved oxygen in the venous blood. An arterial probe is inserted into an artery in the forearm of the patient and is coupled into the control and display module and provides an electrical output signal representing the dissolved oxygen in the arterial blood. The control and display module has a visible display that provides a continuous in vivo cardiac output that utilizes an arterial venous oxygen differential equation which includes an adjustment factor for adjusting for venous blood being sampled rather than mixed venous blood in the pulmonary artery of the patient.

International Classification:
G01N 33/543
US Classification:
436518
Abstract:
A method and miniature analytical device with thermal regulation of reactant using a localized heat source capable of emitting electromagnetic radiation, such as light emitting diodes (“LED”s) and vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (“VCSEL”s), generating internal heat, such as resistive, inductive and Peltier heaters, or external heating. The miniature analytical device comprises of array of temperature-controlled zones to restrict the volume heated and localize the heating by having the localized heat source comprise an array of emitters or heaters.

Blood Sampling Apparatus And Method

View page
US Patent:
7682318, Mar 23, 2010
Filed:
Jun 12, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/363508
Inventors:
Don Alden - Sunnyvale CA, US
Dominique M. Freeman - La Honda CA, US
Paul Lum - Los Altos CA, US
Vladimir Drbal - Belmont CA, US
Catherine K. Templin - Portola Valley CA, US
Dirk Boecker - Palo Alto CA, US
Assignee:
Pelikan Technologies, Inc. - Palo Alto CA
International Classification:
A61B 5/00
US Classification:
600583, 606181

Microfluidics Structure And Method

View page
US Patent:
20060263262, Nov 23, 2006
Filed:
Apr 10, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/401698
Inventors:
Vladimir Drbal - Belmont CA, US
International Classification:
B01L 3/02
US Classification:
422100000
Abstract:
A liquid-filled microfluidics assembly and method of forming the same are disclosed. The assembly includes a non-metallic substrate having a liquid-filled microfluidics structure that includes a microchannel and a chamber in fluid communication therewith, and a metal tube embedded in the substrate, communicating with the chamber and sealed by crimping at a region along its length, thus to seal the structure adjacent the chamber. In forming the assembly, a polymer substrate having a microfluidics structure including a microchannel and a chamber in fluid communication therewith is molded around a metal tube communicating the chamber with a port at which liquid can be drawn or pumped into the structure. The structure is filled by drawing or pumping liquid into the structure through the port, and liquid in the structure, adjacent the chamber, is sealed by crimping the tube.

Diluting Apparatus

View page
US Patent:
40421520, Aug 16, 1977
Filed:
Nov 21, 1975
Appl. No.:
5/634129
Inventors:
Vladimir J. Drbal - Miramar FL
Assignee:
Coulter Electronics, Inc. - Hialeah FL
International Classification:
B67D 552
G01N 114
US Classification:
222137
Abstract:
A diluting apparatus or pump having first and second chambers coaxially formed in a single pivotally mounted block. A first piston is reciprocally disposed in the first chamber and a second piston is coaxially mounted on the first piston and reciprocally disposed in the second chamber, substantially eliminating any transverse thrusts on the pistons. A spool valve is pivotally mounted on an eccentric pin mounted on a rotating crank to drive the pistons. The valve reciprocates within a valve body to couple the first chamber to a fluid supply line on a return stroke and to couple the first chamber to an output line on a delivery stroke. The second chamber is coupled to the output line on both strokes to draw in a second fluid on the return stroke and discharge it with the fluid from the first chamber on the delivery stroke thus mixing the two fluids.
