System with a reservoir for perfusion management
View Patent ↗A system for perfusion management that monitors, maintains, diagnoses, or treats perfusion deficiencies.
1. A method of fabricating a perfusion management device, comprising:
forming a cavity for storing a receivable;
coupling a flexible conduit to the cavity, the conduit being composed of a plurality of retractable segments, the conduit being configured to telescopically extend from the cavity to a target location in an animal's body;
coupling the flexible conduit and the cavity to a monitoring system, the monitoring system including logic and/or software configured for directing the receivable from the cavity to the target location; and
distributing an array of sensors along the flexible conduit, the monitoring system being configured to controllably deploy one or more of the sensors from one or more openable and/or closable portholes.
2. The method as in claim 1 , further comprising configuring said device for implantation in proximity to said target location.
3. The method as in claim 1 , further comprising configuring said device for providing and/or monitoring a treatment and/or a response in a patient.
4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
coupling at least one sensor of the array of sensors to the monitoring system.
5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising coupling a pump, a motor, a vacuum, a siphon, and/or an evacuation device to said monitoring system.
6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising coupling an actuator, a tool positioner, an ablator, a cauterizer, and/or a sealer to said monitoring system.
7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising placing a source of a chemical, a chemical compound, a protein, a lipoprotein, a glycoprotein, a sugar, a lipid, an antigen, an antibody, a cytokine, a peptide, a neurotransmitter, a hormone, an ion, a messenger molecule, a nucleic acid, an engineered nucleic acid, a nucleic acid vector, a drug, a cell, a cell fragment, a cell organelle, a liposome, a pharmaceutical agent, a biological material, and/or a biological fraction internal and/or external to said cavity.
8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising placing a source of two or more of a chemical, a chemical compound, a protein, a lipoprotein, a glycoprotein, a sugar, a lipid, an antigen, an antibody, a cytokine, a peptide, a neurotransmitter, a hormone, an ion, a messenger molecule, a nucleic acid, an engineered nucleic acid, a nucleic acid vector, a drug, a cell, a cell fragment, a cell organelle, a liposome, a pharmaceutical agent, a biological material, and/or a biological fraction internal and/or external to said cavity.
9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising coupling and/or carrying a source of an electrical charge and/or electromagnetic radiation to said flexible conduit.
10. The method of claim 1 , wherein said monitoring system comprises a processor, a feedback circuit, and/or a logic circuit.
11. The method of claim 1 , wherein said monitoring system is a processor further comprising a stored software program cooperative with said processor.
12. The method of claim 1 , wherein said monitoring system communicates wirelessly.
