Embodiment Construction

[0037] Figures 1A-1B A perspective view and a cross-sectional view taken along 1B-1B of a multi-channel conduit connection system 1 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure are shown, respectively. Such a system includes a catheter 2 with multiple channels in which a column of fluid (e.g., air or water) transmits pressure from the patient's anatomical lumen (e.g., esophagus, anus, rectum, etc.) The pressure transducer 7. Figures 1A-1B The embodiment shown in refers to the operating system 1 in an "inflated" mode, wherein a column of sealed air of known volume inflates a plurality of catheter balloons 40 shrouded in the patient's anatomical lumen at the distal end 2b. The air column transmits the pressure to a pressure transducer 7 at the proximal end 2a, from which the pressure of the patient lumen can be determined.

[0038] Figures 1A-1B The conduit connection system 1 shown in includes conduit subassemblies 2, 3, 4, fully shown in Figure 2A middle. The ...

Abstract

The invention discloses an anatomical manometry catheter system, comprising a plurality of balloons on the distal end and being configured to be inflatable and / or deflatable. The system includes a connector assembly coaxially aligned with the catheter assembly, the connector assembly being connectable to the proximal end of the catheter. The connector assembly may have a connector interface connected to the proximal end of the catheter. The connector assembly may include a manifold comprising a plurality of channels configured to deliver the pressure transmission medium therethrough toward a respective catheter lumen for inflating one or more balloons. The connector assembly may include a charging mechanism fluidly coupled to the catheter that facilitates inflating each balloon of the plurality of balloons by a common actuating mechanism so as to simultaneously charge each balloon of the plurality of balloons.

Description

[0001] related application [0002] This application claims U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 310,496, filed March 18, 2016, U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 349,461, filed June 13, 2016, and U.S. Nonprovisional Patent Application, filed February 13, 2017 No. 15 / 430,967, each of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. Background technique [0003] Medical practitioners today utilize catheters to access internal regions of the body in order to obtain and record objective measurements of desired bodily parameters. In one example, during rectal manometry, the pressure in the anus and rectum is quantified, giving an indication of any weakness or deficiency that may exist in surrounding tissues. Rectal manometry is widely performed test to assess anal sphincter function and anorectal coordination. Conventionally, manometry has been performed using solid-state or water-filled catheters incorporating a limited number of recording channels (typi...
