Abstract
An intraosseous access system to access a medullary cavity includes a driver including an access assembly, a motor, and an energy source. The intraosseous access system further includes a sensor configured to detect a first input from one of the motor or the energy source. The intraosseous access system further including a processing unit, communicatively coupled with the sensor, configured to receive the first input from the sensor, and determine access to a medullary cavity. The processing unit can then modify operation of one of the motor and the energy source to automatically stop operation of the system and prevent backwalling.
Claims26
An intraosseous access system, comprising:
- a driver including an access assembly, a motor, and an energy source;
- a sensor configured to detect a first input from one of the motor or the energy source;
- and
- a processing unit communicatively coupled with the sensor, the processing unit configured to (i) receive the first input from the sensor, (ii) determine access to a medullary cavity, and (iii) modify operation of one of the motor or the energy source.
A method of accessing an internal cavity, comprising:
- providing an intraosseous access system comprising:
- a driver including an access assembly, a motor, and an energy source;
- a sensor configured to detect an input from one of the motor or the energy source;
- and
- a processing unit, communicatively coupled with the sensor;
- detecting a first input;
- detecting a second input;
- determining whether the second input is less than the first input, or the first input is less than a threshold value;
- and
- modifying operation of one of the motor the energy source.
A method of accessing an internal cavity, comprising:
- providing an intraosseous access system comprising:
- a driver including an access assembly, a motor, and an energy source;
- a sensor configured to detect an electrical measurement;
- and
- a processing unit, communicatively coupled with the sensor;
- detecting a first electrical measurement;
- determining whether the first electrical measurement is less than a threshold value;
- and
- modifying operation of one of the motor the energy source.
