A catheter including a tubular catheter body defining a distal portion, a distal end and a lumen that extends to the distal end, a radiopaque marker carried within the lumen, and a non-metal tip that is bonded to distal end of the catheter body.

Catheters including radiopaque markers and methods of making the same

Implantable infusion apparatus, systems and methods that involve the use of a sensor that is associated with the catheter outlet.

Implantable infusion devices including apparatus for confirming fluid flow and systems, apparatus and methods associated with same

Methods and systems for applying charge to a piezoelectric element include and/or facilitate implementation of processes including cyclical multi-stage processes for: providing a piezoelectric element with an accumulated charge; providing one or more charge holding elements with a scavenged charge from the piezoelectric element; substantially removing or discharging a remaining charge from the piezoelectric element; and applying the scavenged charge to the piezoelectric element with an opposite polarity in relation to the polarity of the remaining charge.

Methods and systems for applying charge to a piezoelectric element

Infusion devices with blockage detection capability and methods of monitoring infusion devices.

Ambulatory infusion devices and methods

Infusion devices with blockage detection capability and methods of monitoring infusion devices. High resolution pressure sensing and/or the sensing of a reflected pressure event may be used to detect a blockage.

Ambulatory infusion devices and methods including occlusion monitoring

Ambulatory infusion devices and methods with blockage detection

A medical system comprising an implantable medical device and an external controller. The medical device includes a therapy administration subsystem, a telemetry subsystem, and a control subsystem which includes a microprocessor operable in response to data and/or code provided via said telemetry subsystem for producing an output signal for controlling said therapy administration subsystem. The controller includes a user input means and a telemetry subsystem responsive to said user input means for communicating data and/or code to said medical device telemetry subsystem. The medical device control subsystem includes program means for causing said microprocessor to separately execute at least two software processes to respectively produce separate therapy control output components. Combinatorial logic means responds to the separate output components to produce the output signal for controlling the therapy administration subsystem.
