Claims21
An implantable, single-reservoir port device comprising:
- a housing made of a biocompatible material and having a width-to-height ratio of greater than 3.0;
- a single fluid reservoir within the housing;
- a self-sealing cap covering the fluid reservoir;
- a ridge formed in an upper surface of the housing and circumferentially surrounding at least a portion of the fluid reservoir;
- a catheter connector in fluid communication with the fluid reservoir, the catheter connector configured to be mated to a catheter;
- a battery disposed within the housing, wherein the battery is wirelessly rechargeable while the device is implanted within a body of a patient;
- a plurality of sensors in electrical communication with the battery, the sensors being disposed on or carried by the housing and configured to detect physiological data while the device is implanted within the patient, the sensors comprising:
- a temperature sensor;
- a pulse oximeter;
- a heart-rhythm sensor;
- and
- an accelerometer;
- an electronic identifier configured to enable remote electronic identification of at least one of the patient or the device;
- a data storage component disposed within the housing, the data storage component configured to store, while the device is implanted within the patient, the physiological data detected via the sensors;
- and
- a wireless communication component configured to transmit, while the device is implanted within the patient, physiological data stored in the data storage component to one or more external computing devices.
13 more elements
An implantable, single-reservoir port device comprising:
- a biocompatible housing having a height of less than about 0.5 inches and a largest width dimension of between about 1 to 3 inches;
- a single fluid cavity disposed within the housing;
- a catheter connector in fluid communication with the fluid cavity, the catheter connector configured to be mated to a catheter;
- a plurality of sensors disposed on or carried by the housing and configured to detect physiological data while the device is implanted within a body of a patient, the sensors comprising at least a temperature sensor, a heart rate monitor, and a motion sensor;
- embedded identification information configured to be electronically extracted while the device is implanted within the patient, the embedded identification information including at least one of patient identification information, device identification information, or patient treatment history information;
- and
- a wireless communication component configured to transmit, while the device is implanted within the patient, physiological data detected via the sensors to one or more external computing devices.
4 more elements
An implantable, single-reservoir port device comprising:
- a housing configured to be implanted within a human patient, the housing containing a single reservoir;
- a cap adjacent the reservoir and configured to receive a needle therethrough for delivery of a fluid to the reservoir;
- a connector in fluid communication with the reservoir, the connector configured to be mated to a catheter;
- a plurality of sensors coupled to the housing and configured to detect physiological data while the device is implanted within a body of a patient, the physiological data including at least:
- temperature, blood oxygen level, body movement, and heart rate;
- and
- a wireless communication component configured to transmit, while the device is implanted within the patient, physiological data detected via the sensors to one or more external computing devices.
