CYCLIC ASPIRATION SYSTEM PRODUCING A CYCLIC ASPIRATION PRESSURE WAVEFORM USING A VACUUM PUMP AND POSITIVE PRESSURE PULSE GENERATOR MECHANISM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18441175 titled 'CYCLIC ASPIRATION SYSTEM PRODUCING A CYCLIC ASPIRATION PRESSURE WAVEFORM USING A VACUUM PUMP AND POSITIVE PRESSURE PULSE GENERATOR MECHANISM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a cyclic aspiration system that generates a pressure waveform with alternating vacuum pressure and positive pressure. This system includes flexible tubing connected to a vacuum pump and an aspiration catheter. A mechanism compresses the tubing to create positive pressure pulses, which are then released to restore the vacuum pressure.

  • The system produces a cyclic pressure waveform with vacuum and positive pressure intervals.
  • Flexible tubing connects the vacuum pump to the aspiration catheter.
  • A mechanism compresses the tubing to generate positive pressure pulses.
  • The tubing returns to its original state to restore vacuum pressure.
  • This process minimizes recovery time and maximizes cycling frequency.

Key Features and Innovation

  • Cyclic aspiration system with alternating vacuum and positive pressure.
  • Flexible tubing for fluid communication between vacuum pump and catheter.

Original Abstract Submitted

Cyclic aspiration system producing a cyclic aspiration pressure waveform of intermittent cyclic intervals of vacuum pressure below atmospheric pressure and positive pressure higher than vacuum pressure. The system including flexible inlet tubing connected in fluid communication between a vacuum pump and an aspiration catheter. A positive pressure pulse generator mechanism intermittently cyclically applies an external force compressing a section of the flexible inlet tubing reducing internal volume and displacing fluid collectable therein thereby generating a positive pressure pulse. Upon withdrawal of the external force applied, the flexible inlet tubing is configured to be forcibly restorable to a non-compressed state increasing the internal volume while reducing pressure therein until eventual regeneration of the vacuum pressure thereby minimizing recovery time and maximizing cycling frequency.
