Patent ID: 8795313

Claim:
A medical device detachment system for placement of a medical implant in a patient's vasculature, the system comprising: a housing configured to receive a proximal end of an elongate delivery member and a proximal end of an elongate core member slidably disposed within the delivery member; a grasping mechanism disposed within the housing and configured to grasp a portion of the core member in response to receiving an input signal; a user input mechanism configured to receive the input signal and permit movement of the grasping mechanism to grasp the proximal end of the core member; a first sensor configured to provide an output signal confirming placement of the proximal end of the core member at a determined position within the housing; a second sensor configured to provide an output signal indicative of a proximity of the grasping mechanism relative to the delivery member; and an indicator connected to the first and second sensors and configured to receive one or more output signals from the first and second sensors and to provide corresponding indication signals to a user when one or more output signals are received from the first or second sensors.
