    摘要: An intestinal attachment device is provided that includes an ingestible housing with a chamber having disposed therein a low-profile ribbon with a head that serves as a single attachment area for an anchor sized and configured to attach to the mucosal surface of an intestine. A disposable material is also disposed within the chamber and at least partially surrounds the ribbon. An anchor is disposed within the housing and is attached to the head of the low-profile ribbon. The anchor has a constrained and a non-constrained state and is sized and configured to attach to the mucosal surface of the intestine. The anchor is at least partially surrounded by a dissolvable material.

    摘要: An ingestible medical device that includes an ingestible capsule. Within the ingestible capsule is a non-refillable drug dispenser containing a therapeutic agent. The capsule can also include a real-time clock. A controller within the capsule can be operatively connected to the drug dispenser and can include a memory module and a processor operable to execute a software application stored on the memory module to control the operation of the drug dispenser to administer the therapeutic agent according to a real-time schedule measured via the real-time clock. The ingestible medical device can also include an iontophoretic circuit or system for drug delivery as well as physiological sensors to detect the occurrence or worsening of a medical condition.

    摘要: An integrated physiological monitoring and tissue anchoring device is provided. The device includes a detachable clamp at the distal portion that includes a sensor configured to sense a physiological parameter from the gastrointestinal tract. A handle at the proximal portion of the device is configured to actuate the clamp into a closed configuration in which gastrointestinal tissue is grasped by the clamp. A cable connects the handle to the clamp and has a frangible section near the clamp such that the clamp is detachable from the cable at the frangible section.

    摘要: A swallowable device to detect sleep apnea in a patient in need thereof. The swallowable device includes an ingestible capsule. An accelerometer is contained within the ingestible capsule and is configured to reside within the stomach to detect a respiration parameter(s) indicative of sleep apnea and generate a sensing signal based thereon. The ingestible capsule also includes a radio contained within the ingestible capsule and a micro-controller unit (MCU) in electrical communication with the accelerometer and the radio and configured and programmed to receive the sensing signal. The ingestible capsule can also include a microphone to detect a respiration parameter(s) indicative of sleep apnea and/or snoring.

    摘要: An opioid overdose rescue device is provided that includes an ingestible capsule. Within the ingestible capsule is a non-refillable drug dispenser comprising an opioid antidote and at least one sensor configured to detect at least one physiological parameter indicative of an opioid overdose. A controller is also contained within the ingestible capsule and is operatively coupled to the drug dispenser and the least one sensor. The controller is configured to receive a signal detected by the least one sensor of the at least one physiological parameter to actuate release of the opioid antidote from the drug dispenser into the intestine of the patient upon a determination that the at least one physiological parameter falls outside a threshold value or range for the at least one physiological parameter indicating that an opioid overdose has been detected.
