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:
Described herein are embodiments of a system and a device for performing remote ischemic conditioning that may be configured to treat a subject in accordance with particular usage restrictions and/or a particular treatment protocol. More particularly, in some embodiments a RIC device may include at least two parts, an inflatable cuff to fit around a limb of a subject and a controller that operates the inflatable cuff to inflate and deflate and thus alternate between ischemia and reperfusion of the limb in accordance with a treatment protocol. The inflatable cuff may include a computer-readable storage and that storage may include usage restrictions and/or configuration settings for the controller, to configure the controller to operate the inflatable cuff in accordance with the usage restrictions and to perform a particular treatment protocol when operating the inflatable cuff.
