Abstract:
A system for performing remote ischemic conditioning includes an inflatable cuff configured to encircle a limb of a subject and a controller removably attached to the cuff. The controller includes a pump; a manifold in fluid communication with the pump; a connector in fluid communication with the manifold and in removable fluid communication with the inflatable cuff; a pressure sensor; and a control circuit configured to implement a remote ischemic conditioning treatment protocol.

Abstract:
Dispositivo para realizar un protocolo de condicionamiento isquémico remoto, comprendiendo el dispositivo; un manguito (4) inflable configurado para rodear una extremidad de un usuario; una carcasa (11) unida al manguito; múltiples cartuchos (82, 102) que contienen un gas o un material que produce gas, estando asociado cada cartucho a un periodo isquémico diferente de un tratamiento de condicionamiento isquémico remoto; un colector (84, 104) dispuesto entre los cartuchos y el manguito para proporcionar comunicación de fluido entre los cartuchos y el manguito; al menos una primera válvula (92) dispuesta entre cada uno de los cartuchos y el colector para controlar un flujo de gas desde los cartuchos hasta el colector; una segunda válvula (96, 106) en comunicación de fluido con el manguito y el colector para permitir que el gas dentro del colector y/o el manguito escape del mismo cuando está en un estado abierto; y un controlador (50, 110) configurado para controlar la apertura y el cierre de las primeras válvulas y la segunda válvula para controlar el flujo de gas a y desde el manguito para permitir que el manguito se infle durante un periodo isquémico y se desinfle durante un periodo de reperfusión como parte de un tratamiento de condicionamiento isquémico remoto.
Abstract:
In one aspect, a device for performing RIC includes an inflatable cuff configured to encircle a limb of a subject and a controller removably attached to the cuff. The controller includes a pump; a manifold in fluid communication with the pump; an outlet in fluid communication with the manifold and in removable fluid communication with the inflatable cuff; a pressure sensor; and a control circuit configured to implement a RIC treatment protocol. In another aspect, a cuff assembly may be adapted to encircle a limb of a subject. The cuff assembly includes an inner layer, an outer layer, and a bladder disposed between the inner layer and the outer layer. The outer layer includes two flexible foam sections spaced apart in a longitudinal direction of the cuff assembly. The outer layer also includes an intermediate section disposed between the two flexible foam sections. The intermediate section may have a greater rigidity than the two flexible foam sections.

Abstract:
A remote ischemic conditioning system may be integrated with other medical devices or apparatus so that cycles of remote ischemic conditioning may be performed on a patient before, during and/or after performance of another medical procedure. In one embodiment, a remote ischemic conditioning system may be integrated with a surgery table. In another embodiment, a remote ischemic conditioning system may be integrated with an automated external defibrillator, or an automated external defibrillator/monitor. Integration of the remote ischemic conditioning system with the surgical table or the automated external defibrillator allows the remote ischemic conditioning system to be powered by the power source for the table or the automated external defibrillator, and/or to be controlled by a control panel disposed on the table or the automated external defibrillator. Also, data from the controller for the remote ischemic conditioning system may be received and stored in the controller for the table or the automated external defibrillator. This data may be displayed on a monitor for the table or defibrillator and/or transmittal to a hospital or heart center.
Abstract:
A device for performing a remote ischemic conditioning treatment. The device includes an inflatable cuff and a cartridge which is a source of gas for inflating the cuff. A first valve controls the flow of gas from the cartridge to the cuff so as to maintain a predetermined pressure in the cuff during an ischemic period. A second valve allows gas to escape from the cuff during a reperfusion period of the remote ischemic conditioning treatment. A controller which may be battery-powered is used to control the opening and closing of the valves. The cartridge may contain a gas, or materials which, under certain conditions, react to produce a gas. The chemical reaction may be initiated by an electrical pulse or signal from the controller.
