Estimating the term…
An implantable vascular access device includes a fluid reservoir, a self-sealing cover disposed over the reservoir, and an outlet port configured to mate with a catheter, the outlet port fluidically coupled to the fluid reservoir. One or more sensors coupled to the device are configured to capture physiological data while the device is implanted within a patient. The device can also include a data communications unit configured to receive physiological data from the one or more sensors and transmit the physiological data to one or more remote computing devices. The device may also be inductively powered and/or can emit a localization signal in response to wireless interrogation.
A vascular access device comprising:
The device of any one of the preceding claims, wherein the topographical features further comprise an annular ridge surrounding a circumference of the septum.
The device of any one of the preceding claims, further comprising a suture reinforcement extending along a laterally outward edge of the device and laterally adjacent the reservoir component and/or the electronics component, wherein the suture reinforcement is configured to receive a fixation device therethrough.
The device of any one of the preceding claims, further comprising a transparent window disposed in a lower surface of the electronics component, the window substantially aligned with an optical pulse oximeter.
The device of any one of the preceding claims, wherein the electronics component comprises an encasement enclosing the one or more sensing element(s), the wireless communications module, and the battery therein.
The device of any one of the preceding claims, wherein the electronics component comprises an electrical contact configured to be electrically coupled to a lead extending away from the electronics component.
The device of any one of the preceding claims, wherein the device has a longest transverse dimension of between about 30 mm to about 70 mm.
The device of any one of the preceding claims, wherein the device has a greatest thickness of between about 10 mm and about 30 mm.
The device of any one of the preceding claims, wherein the one or more sensing elements comprises one or more of:
The device of any one of the preceding claims, wherein the physiological measurements comprise one or more of:
The device of any one of the preceding claims, wherein the wireless communications module is configured to wirelessly transmit data using one or more of:
The device of any one of the preceding claims, wherein the housing can flex such that the reservoir component and the electronics component can flex or bend with respect to one another.
The device of any one of the preceding claims, further comprising a wireless recharging unit in electrical communication with the battery.
