PRIORITY This application is a continuation-in-part of prior co-pending U.S. Non-Provisional application Ser. No. 11/167,861, filed Jun. 24, 2005, entitled ��Remote Monitoring and Adjustment of Food Intake Restriction Device,�� the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference herein. This application is also a continuation-in-part of prior U.S. Non-Provisional application Ser. No. 11/065,410, filed Feb. 24, 2005, now U.S. Pat. No. 7,699,770 entitled ��Device for Non-Invasive Measurement of Fluid Pressure in an Adjustable Restriction Device,�� the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference herein.
BACKGROUND Many devices and methods for treating obesity have been made and used, including but not limited to adjustable gastric bands. An example of such an adjustable gastric band is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,067,991, entitled ��Mechanical Food Intake Restriction Device�� which issued on May 30, 2000, which is incorporated herein by reference. To the extent that an adjustable gastric band system is fluid based, those of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that it may be advantageous to acquire data indicating the pressure of fluid in the band system. Similar advantages may be achieved with fluid-filled members implanted within the stomach cavity or elsewhere. Such pressure data may be obtained before, during, and/or after pressure adjustment, and may be useful for adjustment, diagnostic, monitoring, or other purposes. It may be further advantageous to store such pressure data and/or communicate it to a remote location. The foregoing examples are merely illustrative and not exhaustive. While a variety of techniques and devices have been used treat obesity, it is believed that no one prior to the inventors has previously made or used an invention as described in the appended claims.
Referring now to the drawings in detail, wherein like numerals indicate the same elements throughout the views, FIG. 1 provides a simplified, schematic diagram of a bi-directional communication system 20 for transmitting data between an implanted restrictive opening device and a remotely located monitoring unit. Through communication system 20, data and command signals may be transmitted between the implanted device and a remotely located physician for monitoring and affecting patient treatment. The communication system of the invention enables a physician to control the restrictive opening device and monitor treatment without meeting face-to-face with the patient. For purposes of the disclosure herein, the terms ��remote�� and ��remotely located�� are defined as being at a distance of greater than six feet. In FIG. 1 and the following disclosure, the restrictive opening device is shown and described as being a food intake restriction device 22 for use in bariatric treatment. The use of a food intake restriction device is only representative however, and the present invention may be utilized with other types of implanted restrictive opening devices without departing from the scope of the invention.
Returning to FIG. 4, the output signals from differential amplifiers 102, 104 are applied to a microcontroller 106. Microcontroller 106 is integrated into a circuit board 110 within housing 94. A temperature sensor 112 measures the temperature within injection port 36 and inputs a temperature signal to microcontroller 106. Microcontroller 106 uses the temperature signal from sensor 112 to compensate for variations in body temperature and residual temperature errors not accounted for by strain gauge 98. Compensating the pressure measurement signal for variations in body temperature increases the accuracy of the pressure sensor 84. Additionally, a TET/telemetry coil 114 is located within housing 94. Coil 114 is connected to a capacitor 116 to form a tuned tank circuit for receiving power from and transmitting physiological data, including the measured fluid pressure, to local unit 60. FIGS. 3-5 illustrate one exemplary embodiment for measuring fluid pressure within an intake restriction device. Additional embodiments for measuring fluid pressure are described in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/065,410 entitled ��Non-invasive Measurement of Fluid Pressure in a Bariatric Device,�� the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
Drive ring 128 is rotatably driven by one or more piezoelectric harmonic motors. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 6, two harmonic motors 131 are positioned so that a tip 113 of each motor is in frictional contact with the inner circumference of drive ring 128. When motors 131 are energized, tips 113 vibrate against drive ring 128, producing a ��walking�� motion along the inner circumference of the ring that rotates the ring. A microcontroller (not shown) in pump 118 is electrically connected to the TET and telemetry coils for receiving power to drive motors 131, as well as receiving and transmitting data signals for the pump. To alter the fluid level in band cavity 42, an adjustment prescription is transmitted by telemetry from antenna 54. The telemetry coil in infuser 115 detects and transmits the prescription signal to the microcontroller. The microcontroller in turn drives motors 131 an appropriate amount to collapse or expand bellows 122 and drive the desired amount of fluid to/from band 28.
In order to measure pressure variations within infuser 115, and, thus, the size of the stoma opening, a pressure sensor, indicated by block 84��, is included within bellows 122. Pressure sensor 84�� is similar to pressure sensor 84 described above. As the pressure against band 28 varies due to, for example, peristaltic pressure from swallowing, the fluid in band 28 experiences pressure changes. These pressure changes are conveyed back through the fluid in catheter 40 to bellows 122. The diaphragm in pressure sensor 84�� deflects in response to the fluid pressure changes within bellows 122. The diaphragm deflections are converted into an electrical signal indicative of the applied pressure in the manner described above with respect to FIGS. 4 and 5. The pressure signal is input to the infuser microcontroller, which transmits the pressure to a monitoring unit external to the patient via the telemetry coil. Additional details regarding the operation of bi-directional infuser 115 may be found in commonly-assigned, co-pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/065,410 entitled ��Non-invasive Measurement of Fluid Pressure in a Bariatric Device�� which has been incorporated herein by reference.
As motor 141 changes the size of core 133, the pressure of the fluid within housing 139 varies. To measure the pressure variations, a pressure sensor, similar to that described above, is placed in communication with the fluid of housing 139. The pressure sensor may be placed within housing 139, as shown by block 84″, so that the pressure variations within the stoma opening are transferred through the fluid in housing 139 to the diaphragm of the sensor. Sensor 84″ translates the deflections of the diaphragm into a pressure measurement signal, which is transmitted to an external unit via telemetry in the manner described above. In an alternative scenario, the pressure sensor may be placed within the implanted motor body 147, as indicated by block 84��, and fluidly connected to housing 139 via a tube 151 extending alongside drive shaft 143. As fluid pressure varies in housing 139 due to pressure changes within the stoma opening, the pressure differentials are transferred through the fluid in tube 151 to sensor 84��. Sensor 84″ generates an electrical signal indicative of the fluid pressure. This signal is transmitted from the patient to an external unit in the manner described above.
As shown in FIG. 1, communication system 20 includes local unit 60 and a remote monitoring unit 170, also referred to herein as a base unit. Remote unit 170 may be located at a physician's office, a hospital or clinic, or elsewhere. Remote unit 170 of the present example is a personal computer type device comprising a microprocessor 172, which may be, for example, an Intel Pentium® microprocessor or the like. Alternatively, remote unit 170 may comprise a dedicated or non-dedicated server that is accessible over a network such as the Internet. In the present example, a system bus 171 interconnects microprocessor 172 with a memory 174 for storing data such as, for example, physiological parameters and patient instructions. A graphical user interface 176 is also interconnected to microprocessor 172 for displaying data and inputting instructions and correspondence to the patient. User interface 176 may comprise a video monitor, a touchscreen, or other display device, as well as a keyboard or stylus for entering information into remote unit 170. Other devices and configurations suitable for providing a remote unit 170 will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art.
The fluid pressure within the restriction band 28 is repeatedly sensed and transmitted to data logger 270 at an update rate sufficient to measure peristaltic pulses against the band. Typically, this update rate is in the range of 10-20 pressure measurements per second. As shown in FIG. 13, data logger 270 may be worn on a belt 274 about the patient's waist to position coils 272 adjacent injection port 36 when the port is implanted in the patient's abdominal area. Alternatively, data logger 270 can be worn about the patient's neck, as shown by device 270��, when injection port 36 is implanted on the patient's sternum. Data logger 270 is worn during waking periods to record fluid pressure variations during the patient's meals and daily routines. At the end of the day, or another set time period, data logger 270 may be removed and the recorded fluid pressure data downloaded to memory 138 of local unit 60. The fluid pressure history may be uploaded from memory 138 to remote unit 170 during a subsequent communication session. Alternatively, fluid pressure data may be directly uploaded from data logger 270 to remote unit 170 using communication link 180.
When the patient is finished measuring and recording fluid pressure, logger 270 is removed and the recorded pressure data downloaded to local unit 60, or directly to remote unit 170. As shown in FIGS. 9 and 14, data logger 270 may comprise a modem 286 for transmitting the sensed fluid pressure directly to remote unit 170 using a telephone line 288. The patient may connect logger modem 286 to a telephone line, dial the physician's modem, and select a ��send�� button on user interface 292. Once connected, microprocessor 276 transmits the stored pressure history through the phone line to microprocessor 172 in remote unit 170. Alternatively, data logger 270 may include a USB port 290 for connecting the logger to local unit 60. Logger USB port 290 may be connected to a USB port 198 on local unit 60 (shown in FIG. 8), and the ��send�� switch activated to download pressure data to memory 138 in the local unit. After the pressure data is downloaded, logger 270 may be turned off through user interface 292, or reset and placed back on the patient's body for continued pressure measurement.
In another embodiment, docking station 360 is dedicated to coupling with data logger 370, and comprises a cradle-like feature (not shown) configured to receive data logger 370. In this example, the cradle-like feature includes contacts configured to electrically engage corresponding contacts on data logger 370 to provide communication between docking station 360 and data logger 370. Docking station 360 may thus relate to data logger 370 in a manner similar to docking systems for personal digital assistants (PDAs), BLACKBERRY® devices, cordless telephones, etc. Other suitable ways in which data logger 370 and docking station 360 may communicate or otherwise engage will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art. It will also be appreciated that docking station 360 is depicted in FIG. 18 as a desktop computer for illustrative purposes only, and that docking station 360 may be provided in a variety of alternative shapes, sizes, and configurations.
While data logging system 300 is described herein as being implemented with injection port 36, it will be appreciated that data logging system 300 may alternatively be implemented with any other type of pressure sensing system or other implanted systems. By way of example only, data logging system 300 may be combined with any of the pressure sensing devices disclosed in U.S. Non-Provisional patent application Ser. No. 11/369,682, filed Mar. 7, 2006, and entitled ��System and Method for Determining Implanted Device Positioning and Obtaining Pressure Data,�� the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference herein for illustrative purposes. For instance, data logging system 300 may receive pressure measurements obtained by any of the pressure sensors described in that patent application. In addition, the needle guidance sense head described in that patent application may be used with at least a portion of data logging system 300 to provide needle guidance for a local clinician to adjust fluid pressure in accordance with a remote physician's instructions that are based on pressure measurements obtained by the needle guidance sense head and communicated to the remote physician in substantially real-time. For instance, the needle guidance sense head may be coupled with data logger 370, which may connected directly to the Internet (or via docking station 360) to provide pressure measurements to the remote physician. Still other ways in which devices and components described herein may be combined with components described in U.S. Non-Provisional patent application Ser. No. 11/369,682 will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art.
