Described here are methods and apparatuses for removing a clot material from a patient. For example, an apparatus as described herein may include a flexible elongate body having a suction lumen, a first pair of sensors (e.g., electrodes), and a controller configured to identify a clot material based on signals from the first pair of sensors.

Methods for removing a blood clot material

Described herein are methods and apparatuses for identifying a clot material in contact with a suction catheter. For example, an apparatus as described herein may include a flexible elongate body having a suction lumen, and an aspiration opening sensor comprising at least two electrodes, and a controller configured to distinguish between clot and blood based on an impedance signal between the two or more electrodes.

Apparatuses and method for determining if a catheter is engaged with a blood clot

Apparatuses and methods for distinguishing a blood clot from a vessel wall. These methods and apparatuses may include an aspiration opening into a suction lumen, an aspiration opening sensor(s) positioned at a rim of the aspiration opening, and a controller that interprets signals from the aspiration opening sensor(s) to determine when the aspiration opening is contacting a clot material or a vessel when a force is applied.

Apparatuses and methods for distinguishing clot material from vessel wall

Systems and related methods for identifying and/or ablating targeted nerves are provided. A probe with stimulating electrodes and/or ablation members are provided. The probe may be inserted into a nasal cavity and current may be introduced through the electrodes to stimulate a targeted area. The response to stimulation may be used to identify the targeted nerve. Once identified, the ablation member may ablate the targeted nerve.

Integrated nasal nerve detector ablation-apparatus, nasal nerve locator, and methods of use

A system for identifying structures in an eye of a subject. In embodiments of the invention, the system has a housing; a visible light source supported by the housing; an infrared light source supported by the housing; a photodetector supported by the housing; a patient interface disposed on an outer surface of the housing arranged and configured so that, when the patient interface is placed in contact with the subject, the subject's eye is aligned with the light sources and the photodetector such that the light sources illuminate an iris of the eye at an angle between 15° and 30° and such that the photodetector receives light from the light sources reflected by the iris; and a controller configured to activate the visible light source and the infrared light source and to obtain image information from the photodetector.

System and method for detection of ocular structures

Described herein are methods and apparatuses for detecting an obstructive material within a lumen of an aspiration catheter using one or more sensors with the lumen of the suction catheter to prevent excess blood loss and improve operation of the apparatus.

Apparatuses and methods for controlling removal of obstructive material

Described here are methods and apparatuses for tracking a clot material within a lumen of a suction catheter. For example, an apparatus as described herein may include a flexible elongate body having a suction lumen, a first pair of electrodes within the suction lumen, a second pair of electrodes proximal to the first pair of electrodes, and a controller configured to track a clot material within the suction lumen based on signals from the first pair of electrodes and the second pair of electrodes.
