Abstract

system and method are disclosed in the field of preparing a catheter (1) for use in a patient, in particular a catheter (1) of an intravascular blood pump (10), more specifically for properly purging and de-airing the catheter (1). The catheter (1) comprises an elongate tubular portion (11) and a connected device (230). The elongate tubular portion (11) is configured to be inserted into a patient's blood vessel and defines a lumen (12). The connected device (230) is connected to the elongate tubular portion (11) and has a cavity (13), which may accommodate a drive unit (4) of the blood pump (10), and which is in fluid communication with the lumen (12) of the elongate tubular portion (11). In order to securely de-air the system (100), a sensor (15), such as an accelerometer, for detecting an orientation of the connected device (230) is provided, and a user may be guided to correct the orientation of the connected device (230) for proper purging. The sensor helps ensure air isn't trapped in the catheter during a critical medical procedure.

Claims (17)

THE CLAIMS DEFINING THE INVENTION ARE AS FOLLOWS:
1. A system, comprising a catheter, the catheter comprising an elongate tubular portion and at least one connected device, the elongate tubular portion configured to be inserted into a patient’s blood vessel and having a proximal end and a distal end and a lumen extending from the proximal end to the distal end, each connected device connected to the elongate tubular portion and having at least one cavity, wherein the at least one cavity is in fluid communication with the lumen of the elongate tubular portion, wherein the system further comprises at least one sensor for detecting an orientation of at least one of the elongate tubular portion and the at least one connected device, and a control unit configured to receive data from the at least one sensor including the orientation detected by the at least one sensor, to determine whether the detected orientation matches an orientation in which air is releasable from the cavity and to compute a difference of the detected orientation and a predetermined orientation to guide a user to change the orientation in order to approach the predetermined orientation.
2. The system of claim 1, wherein the control unit is configured to display at least one of: a matching indicator representing the matching of a detected orientation with an orientation in which air is releasable from the cavity, the detected orientation, and a representation indicating the difference between the detected orientation and the predetermined orientation.
3. The system of claim 1 or 2, wherein the predetermined orientation is a vertical orientation or a conical range around a vertical axis defined by a predetermined angle.
4. The system of any one of claims 1 to 3, wherein the at least one sensor is arranged in the connected device and configured to detect an orientation of the connected device.
5. The system of any one of claims 1 to 4, wherein the at least one sensor includes at least one of a gravity sensor, an accelerometer and a gyroscope.
6. The system of any one of claims 1 to 5, further comprising a pump unit, and a drive unit to provide an intravascular blood pump for percutaneous insertion into a patient’s blood vessel, wherein the pump unit is one of the at least one connected device and is disposed at the distal end of the elongate tubular portion of the catheter and comprises a cavity, the pump unit including an impeller which is rotatable about an axis of rotation to convey blood from a blood flow inlet to a blood flow outlet of the pump unit, and wherein the drive unit is disposed in the at least one cavity of a handle portion which is another one of the at least one connected device and which is coupled to a flexible drive shaft so as to cause rotation of the impeller.
7. A method of preparing a catheter for use in a patient, the catheter comprising an elongate tubular portion and a at least one connected device, the elongate tubular portion being configured to be inserted into a patient’s blood vessel and having a proximal end and a distal end and a lumen extending from the proximal end to the distal end, each of the at least one connected device connected to the elongate tubular portion and having at least one cavity, wherein the at least one cavity is in fluid communication with the lumen of the elongate tubular portion, the method comprising the steps of: - supplying a fluid into at least one of (a) the at least one cavity of at least one of the at least one connected device and (b) the lumen of the elongate tubular portion to purge at least one of the at least one cavity and the lumen; - detecting an orientation of at least one of the elongate tubular portion and the at least one connected device; - determining whether the detected orientation matches an orientation in which air is releasable from the cavity; and - computing a difference between the detected orientation and a predetermined orientation to guide a user to change the orientation in order to approach the predetermined orientation.
8. The method of claim 7, further comprising displaying at least one of: a matching indicator representing the matching of a detected orientation with an orientation in which air is releasable from the cavity, the detected orientation, and a representation indicating a difference between the detected orientation and the predetermined orientation.
9. The method of claim 7 or 8, wherein the predetermined orientation is a vertical orientation or a conical range around a vertical axis defined by a predetermined angle.
10. The method of any one claims 7 to 9, wherein the fluid supply is activated, when the detected orientation matches the predetermined orientation, and the fluid supply is deactivated, when the detected orientation differs from the predetermined orientation.
11. The method of any one of claims 7 to 10, further comprising measuring a volume of the supplied fluid.
12. The method of any one of claims 7 to 11, wherein the orientation is detected by means of at least one sensor, wherein the at least one sensor includes at least one of a gravity sensor, an accelerometer and a gyroscope.
13. The method of claim 12, wherein the at least one sensor is arranged in at least one of a handle portion and a pump unit and the elongate tubular portion.
14. The method of claim 13, wherein the handle portion is one of the at least one connected device and the pump unit is another one of the at least one connected device.
15. The method of claim 14, wherein the sensor includes a camera.
16. The method of claim 15, wherein the camera is arranged outside of the handle portion and the pump unit and the elongate tubular portion.
17. The system of claim 6, wherein the pump unit is an expandable pump unit with the impeller being coupled to a flexible drive shaft which extends through the lumen of the elongate tubular portion of the catheter.
