Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 63 / 067,749, filed August 19, 2020, the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference in its entirety.

[0002] FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE The present disclosure relates to systems for holding medical device components, and in particular to a holding system for holding one or more medical device components on a movable support to facilitate transport. [Background technology]

[0003] 2. Description of Related Art Transporting patients connected to life support equipment, such as extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) equipment for pumping and oxygenating the patient's blood, within a hospital can present tremendous challenges to medical personnel due to limited space available in elevators, treatment and diagnostic rooms, or through doorways within facilities such as computed tomography (CT) scans. Previous solutions have been provided for control consoles and components, such as pump drives and life support components / oxygenators, that become connected to a patient lying on a bed or gurney during patient care. However, these solutions do not provide common mounting options for the components necessary for patient care in the proper physical relationship with each other, with respect to the console, and with respect to the patient on the bed or gurney.

[0004] In particular, previous solutions include providing transport carts for supporting and transporting life support equipment along with patients. The transport carts may incorporate mounting systems, e.g., vertical tubes and horizontal rails, for loading equipment components onto the cart. Such transport carts may be unfeasible, impractical, or difficult to use within a particular hospital or facility due to their size, and may present some risk to patients, medical personnel, and / or others present at the hospital or facility. For example, if a patient needs to be transported to a CT facility, transporting the patient may be difficult or impossible because the bed (or gurney) and cart do not fit in the same elevator. Handling of the life support equipment may be very complicated because it cannot be disconnected from the patient and attached in the appropriate position.

[0005] Furthermore, previous solutions have been designed in a way that individual components of the life support device, such as a pump drive or an oxygenator, can be housed in individual holders. These solutions do not provide for handling the components together in a unified manner. This makes repositioning the components more difficult because the components are also interconnected with sections of tubing and / or communication wiring. Therefore, several medical personnel may be required to assist in moving the cart supporting the patient and the life support device so that the connected components can be used simultaneously. Such movement can be complicated and dangerous, as several storage locations, complex tubing and wiring routing, and the need for coordinated and synchronized collaboration of several medical personnel are required. Previous solutions for mounting such components together are bulky and difficult to handle. Summary of the Invention [Means for solving the problem]

In this context, triple configuration means that holder arm 11 has only three arms. In accordance with the present disclosure, first arm 19 may be straight or curved, second arm 20 may be straight or have a distal laterally curved portion, or it may have two straight portions connected together by an upwardly sloping portion, and third arm 21 may have a proximal portion that is either straight or curved downward and a distal portion that either has a 90-degree bend or has a twisted J-shape.

[0081] A receptacle 17 is located at the end of a second arm 20 for connecting a medical device component 102, such as a permanent life support component / oxygenator, to the holder arm 11. A receptacle 18 is located at the end of a third arm 21 for connecting another medical device component 101, such as a pump drive and / or a centrifugal blood pump, to the holder arm 11. According to non-limiting embodiments of the present disclosure, receptacle 17 is oriented downward and is positioned at the end of second arm portion 20 so as to connect with an upper portion of oxygenator 102, thereby causing the oxygenator to be suspended below receptacle 17, and / or receptacle 18 is oriented laterally, perpendicular or nearly perpendicular to the downward orientation of receptacle 17, so as to connect with a side portion of pump drive unit and / or centrifugal blood pump 101, thereby causing the pump drive unit and / or centrifugal blood pump 101 to be suspended from third arm portion 21.

[0082] The holder arm 11 is configured to maintain a relative position between the two medical device components 101, 102 suitable for positioning the two medical device components 101, 102 in fluid communication with each other via one or more sections of tubing 103 (shown in Figures 9 and 10), and / or for positioning the two medical device components 101, 102 in electrical communication with each other, and / or for positioning the two medical device components 101, 102 in electrical communication with the control console 100 via one or more communication wiring and / or energy supply wiring 104 (shown in Figures 9 and 10). According to an embodiment, the first arm portion 19, the second arm portion 20, and the third arm portion 21 are sized and configured to hold the medical device components 101, 102 at an appropriate distance and spatial relationship to one another, such that the control console support 100, the holder system 10, and the medical device components 101, 102 are suitably portable together as a unit for practical transport within hospital ward corridors, hospital elevators, and similar constrained spaces. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the arm portions 19, 20, 21 may be connected by movable joints and / or have extendable lengths, such that the relative positions of the medical device components 101, 102 and the support / control console 100 can be adjusted. According to another embodiment of the present disclosure, the holder arm 11 may incorporate a system such as channels and / or clips for connecting the tubing sections 103 and / or communication wiring 104 to the holder arm 11 and routing the tubing sections 103 and / or communication wiring 104 between the medical device components 101, 102 and / or between the medical device components 101, 102 and the control console 100. According to another embodiment of the present disclosure, the holder arm 11 may be divided into multiple holder arms connected to the support / console at different points thereon.

[0083] It will be appreciated that the holder arm 11 may be configured to hold any number of medical device components of any type that will be found appropriate to those skilled in the art. In such cases, the receptacles 17, 18 may be configured to receive more than one medical device component at a time, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. It will further be appreciated that the receptacles 17, 18 are constructed and configured in a manner appropriate for attaching the medical device components 101, 102 to the holder arm 11. According to another embodiment of the present disclosure, the holder arm 11 has a multi-arm configuration, meaning that it may have more than three arms, with each additional arm configured to hold one or more medical device components. However, there is a practical limit to the number of arms because, at some point, the additional arms would detract from the portability of the control console support 100, the holder system 10, and the supported medical component device as a unit.

[0084] 1-4, the holder system 10 addresses the above-discussed problems associated with transporting life support equipment with a patient while the patient is being transferred within a facility, providing medical personnel with the ability to position the control console support 100 and medical device components 101, 102 as needed for transport. The holder system 10 provides a compact holder for the medical device components 101, 102. The holder system 10 also allows the control console support 100, medical device components 101, 102, and associated tubing sections 103 and communication wiring 104 to be handled as a single unit, which facilitates easy and safe handling by a single person. Activation and repositioning of the medical device components 101, 102 relative to the tubing sections 103 and communication wiring 104 can also be performed by a single person, making the process more convenient and safe.

[0085] The holder arm 11 may also be configured to provide optimal routing of the tubing sections 103 and communication wiring 104 between the medical device components 101, 102 and between the medical device components 101, 102 and the control console 100. The holder arm 11 may be ergonomically designed to make it easier and safer to handle. Due to the relative positioning of the medical device components 101, 102, the holder arm 11 also provides useful options for managing the communication wiring 104 to sensors belonging to the individual medical device components 101, 102.

[0086] As mentioned above, the locking assembly 13 of the receiver / handle 12 is configured to provide a snap or click when the holder arm 11 is locked to the handle 12, which contributes to safety by providing visual, audible, and tactile feedback regarding the correct locking position (raising and lowering the latching arm 14). Additionally, as shown in Figures 1-4, the locking assembly 13 may be provided on the opposite side of the handle 12, thereby allowing the holder arm 11 to be connected on either side of the control console 100, which provides additional flexibility for positioning the holder arm 11 on the control console 100.

[0087] Referring to FIG. 4A , a holder system 150 for mounting medical device components 101, 102 to a control console support 100 of a portable centrifugal blood pump system according to another non-limiting embodiment of the disclosure is illustrated. The medical device components 101, 102 and the control console support 100 shown in FIG. 4A are identical to those described above with reference to FIGS. 1-4 . The holder system includes a holder arm 151 or compact holder configured to connect to and support at least one medical device component, such as a medical pump 101 and / or a permanent life support component 102, in the same manner as the holder arm 11 described with reference to FIGS. 1-4 .

The holder system 150 further includes a locking assembly 13 configured to detachably connect the holder arm 11 to the receiver 12, as described above with reference to FIGS. 1-4 .

[0088] As shown, the holder arm 151 includes at least one receptacle 152, 153 that connects the at least one medical device component 101, 102 to the holder arm 151. According to an embodiment, the at least one medical device component includes two medical device components 101, 102, and the at least one receptacle includes two receptacles 152, 153. The receptacles 152, 153 may be identical to the receptacles 17, 18 described above with reference to Figures 1-4. The holder arm 151 has a triple configuration including a first arm portion 154 defined at an end thereof and configured to be engaged by the locking assembly 13, which may include a protrusion such as the protrusion 16 described above with reference to Figures 1-4, a second arm portion 155 extending from the first arm portion 154 and configured to be connected to one of the two medical device components 101, 102, and a third arm portion 156 extending from the first arm portion 154 and configured to be connected to the other of the two medical device components 101, 102. In this context, triple configuration means that the holder arm 151 has only three arms. In accordance with the present disclosure, first arm 154 may be curved or straight, second arm 155 may be straight or have a distal laterally curved portion, or it may have two straight portions connected together by an upwardly sloping portion, and third arm 156 may have a proximal portion that is either straight or curved downward and a distal portion that either has a 90-degree bend or has a twisted J-shape.

[0089] 4A and 6A, in accordance with certain embodiments of the disclosure, first arm portion 154, second arm portion 155, and third arm portion 156 meet at their respective ends to define joint portion 158. First arm portion 154 curves downward and horizontally from joint portion 158, second arm portion 155 extends straight horizontally from joint portion 158 and has a distal lateral curved portion, and third arm portion 156 extends downward from joint portion 158 and has a twisted J-shape. Also in accordance with the disclosure, holder arm 151 includes a tube guide 157 defined therein for connecting tubing sections 103 and / or communication wiring 104 to holder arm 151, routing tubing sections 103 and / or communication wiring 104 between medical device components 101, 102 and / or between medical device components 101, 102 and control console 100, and preventing or limiting kinking within tubing section 103. According to a particular embodiment, tube guide 157 includes a channel defined by two outer protrusions defined on third arm portion 156 of holder arm 151 near connection portion 158 of arm portions 154, 155, 156 that receives one or more tubing sections 103 and / or one or more communication wiring 104 therein. It will also be appreciated that the holder arm 151 may include additional tube guides 157 at multiple locations on the holder arm 151, and that the tube guides 157 may be of any suitable configuration for holding the tube sections 103 and / or communication wiring 104. In accordance with the present disclosure, the holder arm 151 may be configured such that the communication wiring 104 and / or the tube sections 103 are routed through the inside of the holder arm 151 rather than the outside. The holder arm 151 may further include an externally mounted sensor hub.

[0090] As shown in FIG. 11, according to one non-limiting embodiment of the present disclosure, the tube guide 157 of the holder arm 151 of the holder system 150 may receive one or more tube sections 103 .

[0091] 12 , according to one non-limiting embodiment of the present disclosure, the holder arms 151 of the holder system 150 may be configured to reduce the overall spatial “footprint” of the holder system 150. By reducing the overall spatial “footprint” of the holder system 150, i.e., the amount of space, area, or volume occupied by the holder system 150 and the medical components and tubing it supports, unintentional contact of the holder system 150 and / or the medical components it supports with a wall, door, or any other obstacle that may be placed in front of the holder system 150, can be substantially reduced or eliminated, thereby ensuring that the holder system 150 is not damaged or destroyed. In other words, the configuration of the control console support 100 and holder system 150 supporting the medical device components 101, 102 provides a very compact configuration for supporting a portion of an extracorporeal blood circuit, such as one that can be used to treat a patient with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) or pump-assisted pulmonary protection (PALP) therapy (also known as extracorporeal CO2 removal (ECCO2R) therapy).

[0092] In one non-limiting example of the present disclosure, both medical device components 101, 102 may be positioned within the length L1 of the control console support 100. By ensuring that the medical device components 101, 102 are positioned within the length L1 of the control console support 100, the likelihood of the medical device components 101, 102 contacting an undesirable obstacle is significantly reduced. In another non-limiting example of the present disclosure, the medical device components 101, 102 may be positioned between the front end of the control console support 100 and the rear end of the control console support 100.

[0093] In one non-limiting example of the present disclosure, each of the medical device components 101, 102 may each define a central longitudinal axis X1 and X2, respectively. The central longitudinal axes X1 and X2 may extend from the top of each of the medical device components 101, 102 to the bottom of each of the medical device components 101, 102. In one non-limiting example of the present disclosure, the distance D1 between the central longitudinal axes X1 and X2 of the medical device components 101, 102 may range from 193 millimeters to 289 millimeters. In one example, the distance D1 between the central longitudinal axes X1 and X2 of the medical device components 101, 102 may be at or around 241 millimeters.

[0094] 12 , according to one non-limiting example of the present disclosure, the distance D2 between the central longitudinal axis X1 of the medical device component 101 and the outer housing of the control console support 100 may be 40 millimeters to 60 millimeters.
