Abstract
An aspiration system includes a pump and a control system in communication with the pump. The control system includes a microcontroller, an antenna configured to receive a signal, and a pump control board in communication with the microcontroller. The antenna is in communication with the microcontroller. Upon receiving the signal, the pump control board operates the pump to create negative pressure according to the signal.
Claims17
A system for aspirating thrombus using suction patterns during a vascular procedure, the system comprising:
- an automated negative suction device comprising a pump and power electronics configured to control the automated negative suction device, the power electronics storing a plurality of stored suction patterns each including a pattern that includes three different suction intensity levels, at least some of the stored suction patterns designed for a particular clot burden, the power electronics configured to operate the automated negative suction device to create negative pressure according to a chosen one of the stored suction patterns;
- and
- a control panel allowing a user to choose one of the plurality of stored suction patterns,
- wherein the plurality of stored suction patterns includes a first stored suction pattern configured to aspirate a soft clot and a second stored suction pattern configured to aspirate a hard clot.
A system for aspirating thrombus using suction patterns during a vascular procedure, the system comprising:
- an automated negative suction device comprising power electronics configured to control the automated negative suction device, the power electronics storing a plurality of stored suction patterns each including a pattern that includes at least two different suction intensity levels, the power electronics configured to operate the automated negative suction device to create negative pressure according to a selected suction pattern of the plurality of stored suction patterns;
- and
- a control panel allowing a user to preselect one of the plurality of stored suction patterns, the control panel further allowing the user to create a custom suction pattern,
- wherein the plurality of stored suction patterns includes a first stored suction pattern configured to aspirate a soft clot and a second stored suction pattern configured to aspirate a hard clot.
