[0020] 近年来，特定医学设备制造商已经开发出了能够在医学测量系统上运行的专有程序以用于对医学测量数据进行更好的分析。 [0020] In recent years, the particular medical device manufacturers have developed proprietary programs to run on a medical measuring systems for medical measurement data for better analysis. 例如，血流储备分数（FFR)测量可以被开发作为用于评价血管狭窄的严重程度的专有程序。 For example, fractional flow reserve (the FFR) measurements may be developed as a proprietary program for evaluating the severity of the stenosis. 更详细地，FFR是对（在狭窄的远端侧取得的）远端压力测量结果相对于（在狭窄的近端侧取得的）近端压力测量结果的比率的计算。 In more detail, FFR is calculated (at the narrow side of the distal end of the acquisition) distal pressure measurements with respect to the ratio (in the narrow side of the proximal end of the acquisition) proximal pressure measurements. FFR提供狭窄严重强度的指标，其允许确定堵塞对脉管内的血流的限制是否达到了需要处置的程度。 FFR provides indicators of severe stenosis strength, which allows to determine whether to limit the blockage of blood flow within the vessel to the extent required disposal. 健康脉管中的FFR的正常值是1. 00,而低于大约0. 80的值一般被认为是显著的并需要处置。 Healthy vasculature of normal FFR was 1.00, lower than the value of about 0.80 is generally considered to be significant and require disposal. 常见的处置选项包括血管成形术和支架术。 Common disposal options include angioplasty and stenting.
[0021] 冠状动脉血流的独特之处在于，其不仅受到（如主动脉中的）在近端升高的压力的波动的影响，而且还受到微循环中的在远端升高的波动的影响。 [0021] coronary flow is unique in that it not only by (e.g., aorta) on the proximal end of the fluctuation of the elevated pressure, but also by fluctuation in the microcirculation distal elevated influences. 因此，不能够通过简单地测量跨狭窄的均值或峰值压力的下降来准确地评价冠状动脉狭窄的严重强度，因为远端冠状动脉压力并不完全是从脉管的主动脉端传输的压力的残余。 Accordingly, the measurement can not be narrowed by simply mean peak pressure drop across or to accurately evaluate the severity of coronary artery stenosis strength because the distal coronary pressure the residue is not completely transferred from the end of the pressure vessel of the aorta . 因此，为了有效地计算冠状动脉内的FFR，有必要减少脉管内的血管阻力。 Accordingly, in order to efficiently calculate the FFR in coronary arteries, it is necessary to reduce the vascular resistance in the vessel. 当前，诸如腺苷的药理学充血剂被施予以减少并稳定冠状动脉内的阻力。 Current, such as a decongestant pharmacologically adenosine is administered to be reduced and stable resistance in the coronary artery. 这些强力的血管扩张剂（主要通过减少与心脏周期的心脏收缩部分相关联的微循环阻力）减少阻力的剧烈波动以获得相对稳定且最小的阻力值。 Volatility of these potent vasodilators (mainly by reducing the cardiac contraction of the cardiac cycle microcirculation associated resistance portion) to reduce drag and achieve a relatively stable minimum resistance value.
[0022] 但是，对充血剂的施予并非总是可行的或可取的。 [0022] However, the administration of the decongestant is not always feasible or desirable. 第一，施予充血剂的临床努力能够是巨大的。 First, clinical efforts of the administration of decongestants can be enormous. 在一些国家（尤其是美国）中，在静脉（IV)输送时，获得诸如腺苷的充血剂是昂贵且耗时的。 In some countries (particularly the United States), when intravenous (IV) delivery, such as adenosine get decongestants are expensive and time-consuming. 在这一点上，一般在医院药房中在逐个病例的基础上调配IV输送的腺苷。 At this point, usually in a hospital pharmacy in the deployment of IV adenosine-by-case basis delivered on. 可能要耗费显著的时间和工作量准备腺苷，并输送至操作区。 Likely to spend significant time and effort to prepare adenosine, and delivered to the operating area. 这些后勤障碍能够影响医师使用FFR的决定。 These logistical barriers can influence the decision to use FFR physician. 第二，一些患者具有使用充血剂的禁忌症，例如哮喘、严重的COPD、血压过低、心动过缓、低心脏射血分数、最近的心肌梗塞和/或其他妨碍施予充血剂的因素。 Second, some patients have contraindications to the use of a decongestant, such as asthma, severe COPD, hypotension, bradycardia, low ejection fraction, recent myocardial infarction and / or other factors hinder the administration of decongestants. 第三， 很多患者发现施予充血剂不舒服，这仅仅困扰于这样的事实，即，可能需要在流程的过程期间多次施加充血剂以获得FFR测量结果。 Third, many patients find uncomfortable administration of decongestants, this is only troubled by the fact that, decongestants may need to be applied during the course of the process many times to obtain FFR measurements. 第四，对充血剂的施予还可能要求否则可以避免的中心静脉接入（例如，中心静脉套管（sheath))。 Fourth, the administration of decongestants may also be required to avoid or central venous access (e.g., central venous cannula (sheath)). 最后，并非所有患者都能够按照预期对充血剂做出反应，在一些情况下，难以在施予充血剂之前识别出这些患者。 Finally, not all patients are able to respond to decongestant as expected, in some cases, it is difficult to identify these patients prior to administration decongestant.
[0023] 为了解决以上讨论的关于施予充血剂的各种问题，已经开发出了被称为瞬时无波比率（iFR)测量的另一专有测量技术。 [0023] In order to solve various issues relating to the administration of decongestants discussed above, have been developed further referred instantaneous wave ratio (IFR) measured proprietary measurement techniques. iFR测量在无需施予充血剂的情况下完成与FFR测量类似的任务。 iFR FFR measurement is completed with similar tasks in measurement without the administration of the decongestant. 可以在2012年1月19日提交的题为"Interface Devices，Systems，and Methods for Use with Intravascular Pressure Monitoring Devices'，的美国临时专利申请No. 61/588, 437 和2012 年4 月30 日提交的题为"Devices, Systems, and Methods for Assessing A Vessel"的美国专利申请No. 13/460, 296中找到对FFR和iFR的更深入的讨论，通过引用将其中的每个的公开内容整体并入本文。 Be entitled January 19, 2012 filed "Interface Devices, Systems, and Methods for Use with Intravascular Pressure Monitoring Devices', of US Provisional Patent Application No. 61/588, 437 and 2012 filed April 30 entitled "Devices, Systems, and Methods for Assessing a Vessel" US Patent application No. 13/460, 296 to find more in-depth discussion of the FFR and iFR by reference each of these disclosures entirety This article.
[0024] 能够看出，专有程序增强专有程序在其上运行的医学测量系统的功能和能力。 [0024] As can be seen, proprietary programs and capacity enhancements proprietary medical measuring system program running thereon. 但是，同样是这些专有程序的开发者的医学设备制造商可能想要使这些程序仅仅在与由该医学设备制造商制造的诊断医学设备耦合的医学测量系统上可用。 However, the same medical device manufacturers who develop these proprietary programs may want to make these programs available only on medical diagnostic systems and medical measuring devices made by the medical device manufacturer of coupling. 对专有程序的受限制访问的一个原因涉及测量和分析的准确性。 One of the reasons for restricted access to proprietary programs involving the accuracy of the measurement and analysis. 尽管其他医学设备制造商能够生产在一定程度上与医学测量系统兼容的诊断医学设备，但是无法确信由这些其他诊断医学设备输送的测量结果。 Although other medical device manufacturers to produce medical diagnostic equipment to a certain extent compatible with the medical measurement systems, but is not convinced that the delivery of these measurements other diagnostic medical devices. 如果这些测量结果不准确，则可能导致专有程序产生不准确的分析。 If these measurements are not accurate, it may lead to a proprietary program produces inaccurate analysis. 对专有程序的受限制访问的另一原因涉及患者安全。 Another reason for the limited access to proprietary programs involving patient safety. 再次地，如果专有程序基于由来自其他制造商的诊断医学设备做出的不准确的测量结果而产生不准确的分析结果，则可能危害患者的安全。 Again, if a proprietary program does not produce accurate results based on inaccurate measurements made by the diagnostic medical devices from other manufacturers, it may jeopardize patient safety. 例如，（在使用准确的诊断医学工具的情况下）具有可发现的健康风险的患者现在将被误诊断为是健康的。 For example, (in the case of an accurate diagnosis medical tool) patients with health risks that can be found will now be mistakenly diagnosed as healthy. 如果患者由于误诊而遭受健康倒退或死亡，则医学设备制造商（其是专有程序的开发者）可能被判定负有责任，尽管其诊断医学工具并未在做出所述诊断中使用。 If the patient suffers health setback due to misdiagnosis or death, the medical device manufacturer (which is a proprietary program developers) may be judged liable, although not in diagnostic medical tool used to make the diagnosis.
[0025] 基于以上讨论的这些原因，同样是这些专有程序的开发者的医学设备制造商有充分的理由使这些专有程序仅仅在其品牌的诊断医学设备与医学测量系统联合部署时才有条件地可用。 [0025] For these reasons discussed above, the same medical device manufacturers developers of these proprietary programs have good reason to make these proprietary programs only joint deployment in its brand of medical diagnostic equipment and medical measurement system only conditionally available. 例如，诊断医学设备（例如，压强导丝）的制造商可以使诸如FFR和iFR的专有程序仅仅在检测到其品牌的压力导丝时才可用。 For example, a manufacturer of medical diagnostic devices (e.g., pressure guidewire) may enable such proprietary programs and FFR iFR only available when the detected pressure of the guidewire its brand. 应当理解，在一些实施例中，诸如iFR的专有程序被安装在第三方（即，不同的医学测量系统制造商）的医学测量系统上，但是这些程序被设计为仅仅与特定制造商的诊断设备一起工作。 It should be appreciated that in some embodiments, such as iFR proprietary program is installed on a third party (i.e., different manufacturers of medical measuring system) medical measurement system, but these programs are designed to only diagnosed with a particular manufacturer work with the device. 例如，诊断设备的制造商X可以开发出作为软件的专有程序。 For example, diagnostic equipment manufacturers can develop proprietary X program as software. 不同的制造商Y制造与诊断设备通信的医学测量系统。 Y different manufacturers and manufacturing medical measuring system for communicating diagnostic equipment. 制造商X可以将必要的软件许可给制造商Y，使得包含专有程序的软件可以在由制造商Y制造的医学测量系统上运行。 X may be the manufacturer software license necessary to manufacturers Y, that contain proprietary software program that runs on a medical measuring system manufactured by the manufacturer of Y. 然而，根据本公开，仅仅在已经核实了诊断设备的正确识别特征的情况下这些专有程序才被运行。 However, according to the present disclosure, only these proprietary programs has verified the correct identification feature was only the case where the diagnostic device operation. 例如，所述识别特征可以包括制造商的身份（例如，由制造商X 制造）、制造地点、有效期、过去使用的日期等。 For example, the identification characteristic may include the identity of the manufacturer (e.g., X manufactured by a manufacturer), place of manufacture, expiration date, date of last use. 下面将参考图1-8更详细地讨论根据本公开的各个方面的范例情形。 It will be discussed below with reference to FIGS. 1-8 present examples of various aspects of the situation in accordance with the disclosure in more detail.
[0026] 参考图1和2,其中示出了根据本公开的实施例的具有狭窄的脉管100。 [0026] Referring to Figures 1 and 2, which shows an embodiment having a narrow vessel 100 of the present disclosure. 在这一点上，图1是脉管100的图解透视图，而图2是沿图1的截面线2-2取得的脉管100的一部分的图解局部横截面透视图。 In this regard, FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic perspective view of a vessel 100, and FIG. 2 is a partial cross-sectional perspective view illustrating a portion of the vessel 100 taken along section line 2-2 of FIG. 1 taken. 更具体地参考图1，脉管100包括近端部分102和远端部分104。 More particularly 1, the vessel 100 includes a proximal portion 102 and distal portion 104 with reference to FIG. 管腔106沿血管100在近端部分102与远端部分104之间的长度延伸。 Lumen 106 extending along the length of the blood vessel 100 between the proximal portion 102 and distal portion 104. 在这一点上，管腔106被配置为允许流体通过脉管的流动。 In this regard, the lumen 106 is configured to allow fluid flow through the vasculature. 在一些情况下，脉管100是血管。 In some cases, the vessel 100 is the vessel. 在一些特定情况下，脉管100是冠状动脉。 In certain cases, the vessel 100 is a coronary artery. 在这种情况下，管腔106被配置为促进血液通过脉管100的流动。 In this case, the lumen 106 is configured to facilitate the flow of blood through the vessel 100.
[0027] 如所示出的，脉管100包括在近端部分102与远端部分104之间的狭窄108。 [0027] As shown, the vessel 100 includes a narrow portion 108 between the proximal 102 and distal section 104. 狭窄108 -般表示导致对流体通过脉管100的管腔106的流动的限制的任何堵塞或其他结构布置。 Narrow 108-- as represented by any cause blockage of fluid or other structural arrangements to limit the flow of the lumen 106 of the vessel 100. 本公开的实施例适合于在各种各样的血管应用中使用，所述血管应用包括但不限于冠状动脉应用、外周（包括但不限于下肢、颈动脉和神经血管）应用、肾脏应用和/或静脉应用。 Embodiments of the present disclosure suitable for use in various vascular applications, the vascular applications including but not limited to coronary applications, an outer periphery (including but not limited to the lower extremities, the carotid blood vessels and nerves) applications, applications and kidney / or intravenous application. 在脉管100是血管的情况下，狭窄108可以是斑块积聚的结果，所述斑块积聚包括但不限于诸如纤维斑块成分、纤维油脂（纤维脂质）、坏死核心、钙化（致密钙）、血液、新鲜血栓以及成熟血栓的斑块成分。 In the case where the vessel is a blood vessel 100, 108 may be narrow plaque buildup result, the plaque build-up, such as but not limited to fibrous plaque component fibers fat (lipid fibers), necrotic core, calcification (calcium dense ), blood, fresh thrombus and plaque components mature thrombus. 一般而言，狭窄的构成取决于要评估的脉管的类型。 In general, narrow configuration depends on the type of vessel to be evaluated. 在这一点上，应当理解本公开的构思基本上适用于任何类型的导致减少流体流动的脉管的堵塞或其他窄化。 In this regard, it should be understood that the concept of the present disclosure results in a reduction vessel substantially applicable to fluid flow blockage, or any other type of narrowing.
[0028] 更具体地参考图2,脉管100的管腔106具有在狭窄108的近端的直径110和在狭窄108的远端的直径112。 [0028] Referring more particularly to FIG. 2, the lumen 106 of the vessel 100 having a narrow diameter at the proximal end 108 of distal end 110 and a narrow diameter 112 108. 在一些情况下，直径110和直径112基本上彼此相等。 In some cases, the diameter 110 and diameter 112 substantially equal to each other. 在这一点上，直径110和直径112旨在表示管腔106的与狭窄108相比健康的部分或至少较健康的部分。 In this regard, the diameter 110 and diameter 112 is intended to represent a narrow portion 108 as compared with healthy, or at least a portion of the lumen 106 of healthier. 因此，管腔106的这些较健康的部分被图示为具有基本上恒定的圆柱形轮廓，并且因此管腔的高度或宽度已经被称为直径。 Accordingly, these portions healthier lumen 106 is illustrated as having a substantially constant cylindrical profile, and thus the height or width lumen diameter has been called. 然而，应当理解，在许多情况下，管腔106的这些部分还将具有斑块积聚、非对称轮廓和/或其他不规则性，但是其程度比狭窄108低，并且因此将不具有圆柱形轮廓。 However, it should be understood that, in many cases, the lumen portion 106 also has a plaque buildup, asymmetric profile and / or other irregularities, but it is lower than the degree of stenosis 108, and thus will not have a cylindrical profile . 在这种情况下，直径110和直径112被理解为表示管腔的相对尺寸或横截面面积并且不暗示圆形的横截面轮廓。 In this case, the diameter 110 and diameter 112 is understood to mean relative sizes or cross-sectional area of ​​the lumen, and does not imply a circular cross-sectional profile.

[0059] 根据上面的表格，血液动力学系统172上的软件监测专有信号。 [0059] According to the above table, the software on the system 172 monitoring specific hemodynamic signal. 当接收到具有8. 0Hz的频率的信号时，血液动力学系统172将该信号解释为对专有信号传输的开始，其将包含识别压力丝152的特征（例如，压力丝的制造商）的代码。 When receiving a signal having a frequency of 8. 0Hz, the hemodynamic system 172 be interpreted as the start signal proprietary signal transmission, which will contain the feature recognition pressure wire 152 (e.g., the manufacturer of the pressure wire) of code. 随后，通过血液动力学系统172来接收具有（范围以0. 5Hz的增量从3. 0Hz到7. 5Hz)独特频率的区别信号段。 Subsequently, by the hemodynamic system 172 receives the difference signal having a period (ranging from 0. 5Hz increments to 3. 0Hz 7. 5Hz) unique frequency. 在这些信号段之间可以存在停顿或其他适当形式的划分，从而有助于软件单独地识别它们。 There may be a pause or other appropriate forms of signals between the divided segments to help identify them individually software. 例如， 如果接收到以下信号段0Hz、5. 0Hz、4. 5Hz、6. 5Hz、3. 0Hz、6. 0Hz，则软件将这些信号段转化为以下代码843706。 For example, if the received signal segment 0Hz, 5. 0Hz, 4. 5Hz, 6. 5Hz, 3. 0Hz, 6. 0Hz, these signals the software into the following code segments 843,706. 当然，该代码可以具有任何长度，这取决于接收到的信号段的数量。 Of course, the code may have any length, depending on the number of received signal segments. 所述代码还可以表示任何方面的编码，例如压力丝152的序列号、压力丝152的制造商零件号、等等。 The code may also represent any of the aspects of encoding, for example, the pressure wire serial number 152, 152 of the pressure wire manufacturer part number, and so on.
[0060] 当软件程序检测到停止信号（例如，8. 5Hz的信号）时，其了解到现在专有信号传输结束。 [0060] When the software program detects the stop signal (e.g., signal 8. 5Hz), which is now learned that the end proprietary signaling. 之后，血液动力学系统172上的软件分析接收到的专有信号。 Thereafter, the software on the hemodynamic system 172 analyzes the received specific signal. 例如，所述软件将(基于接收到的专有信号）转化的代码与可能已经被预编程到软件中的预定义代码进行比较。 For example, the software (the received signal based on proprietary) code that may have been transformed with a predefined preprogrammed software codes are compared. 在一些情况下，由制造商X制作的压力丝的正确（或预期）序列号被预编程到软件中。 In some cases, made by the manufacturer of the pressure wire X correct (or expected) sequence number is pre-programmed into the software. 基于接收到的专有信号，如果软件检测到所发送的代码与预编程的序列号相匹配，则软件获知正在使用的压力丝是由预期（或正确）制造商制作的。 Based on the proprietary received signal, if the software detects a preprogrammed code transmitted sequence number matches, then the software being used to know the pressure wire is made of the expected (or correct) the manufacturer. 之后，软件将对FFR或iFR程序（或其他压力丝导出参数）解锁以用于在血液动力学系统172上运行。 After that, the software will FFR or iFR program (or other pressure silk export parameters) for unlocking run on hemodynamic system 172. 换言之，FFR或iFR程序之前对于操作者而言可以是隐藏的或无法访问的。 Before other words, FFR or iFR program for the operator can be hidden or inaccessible. 然而，在解锁之后，可以使FFR 或iFR程序的可用性对于操作者而言显而易见。 However, after unlocking, you can make the FFR or availability iFR program for the operator obvious. 操作者可以按下接口170上的按钮来停止向血液动力学系统172发送专有信号并且开始向血液动力学系统172发送压力丝感测到的压力信号。 The operator can press a button on the interface 170 to stop sending a signal to the specific hemodynamic pressure system 172 and starts transmitting the sensed pressure signal sensing wire to the hemodynamic system 172.
[0061] 尽管为了简单起见没有进行详细讨论，但是应当理解，在一些实施例中，本公开还允许实施加密协议，在一些实施例中，该加密协议将使用对于每个压力丝而言独特的信息。 [0061] Although for simplicity not discussed in detail, it should be understood that in some embodiments, the present disclosure also allows an encryption protocol, in some embodiments, the encryption protocol using the unique terms for each of the pressure wire information. 通过这样做，专有信号对于每个压力丝152而言可以是独特的，并且因此更难以破解或模拟。 By so doing, specific signal may be unique for each wire 152 in terms of pressure, and therefore more difficult to crack or analog. 或者，专有信号能够基于与压力丝152无关的其他数据，例如由操作者人工输入的当前日期或解锁序列。 Alternatively, the pressure can be based on a proprietary signal wire 152 unrelated other data, such as the current date entered manually by an operator or unlock sequence.
[0062] 由本公开解决的问题之一是避免使用未经授权的诊断医学设备（例如，压力丝）。 [0062] One of the present disclosure is to solve the problem is to avoid the use of diagnostic medical equipment unauthorized (for example, pressure wire). 传统上，在诸如血液动力学系统172的医学测量系统与诸如压力丝152的远程诊断医学设备之间不存在任何识别。 Conventionally, there is no recognition between such hemodynamic systems and medical measuring system 172 such as a remote medical diagnosis apparatus 152 in the pressure wire. 这意味着来自任何制造商的诊断医学设备可以与具有运行诸如FFR或iFR的专有程序的能力的医学测量系统器械一起使用。 This means that diagnostic medical devices from any manufacturer can be used with medical devices measuring system has the ability to run programs such as proprietary or iFR of the FFR. 这带来了安全风险并且增加了制造商的责任，因为制造商不能确保由其他制造商制造的诊断医学设备的准确性或可靠性。 This brings security risks and increase the responsibility of the manufacturer, since the manufacturer can not ensure the accuracy or reliability of diagnostic medical equipment made by other manufacturers.
[0063] 相比之下，根据本公开的各个方面，如果给定制造商X想要避免由其他制造商制造的诊断医学设备与血液动力学系统一起使用，则其能够以使得将仅仅在检测到正确类型的或由制造商X制作的诊断医学设备的情况才使诸如FFR或iFR(或从诊断医学设备导出的其他参数）的专有程序可用的方式对安装在血液动力学系统上的软件进行配置。 [0063] In contrast, according to various aspects of the present disclosure, given if X manufacturers want to avoid using the diagnostic medical device with hemodynamic system of other manufacturers, such that it can only be detected to correct the situation or type of medical diagnostic equipment manufacturers such as X made before the FFR or iFR (or derived from diagnostic medical devices other parameters) proprietary software program available means installed on the hemodynamic system configuration. 另外， 可以在没有增加或修改血液动力学系统上的硬件的情况下完成本文中公开的通信和识别方案。 Further, it is possible to complete the communication and identification schemes disclosed herein without increasing or modifying the hardware on the hemodynamic system. 在必要的情形下，仅仅需要在血液动力学系统上的软件更新。 In necessary cases only require a software update on the hemodynamic system. 另外，基于日期、输入到接口中的代码或特定其他可预测数据块而变化的专有信号还可以推迟对本文中公开的安全方法的危害。 Further, based on the date, input to the interface-specific code or other proprietary data block signals can be predicted that changes may be deferred compromise the security of the methods disclosed herein.
[0064] 应当理解，在一些实施例中，以上讨论的解锁可以仅仅适用于诸如iFR的敏感的(或更有价值的）专有程序，而诸如FFR的一般程序则可以在不解锁的情况下就可用。 Under [0064] It should be appreciated that in some embodiments, the unlocking discussed above may be applied only to such sensitive (or more valuable) iFR proprietary programs, and general procedures such as FFR is a case may not be unlocked It can be used. 换言之，驻存在血液动力学系统上的软件可以决定应当使哪些压力丝导出参数随时可用，并且哪些其他参数应当仅仅在已经确认了正确的制造商身份之后才被解锁。 In other words, it was only unlocked after software residing on the hemodynamic pressure wire system can decide which should be made readily available to export parameters, and other parameters which should only have identified the correct manufacturer identity.
