Abstract:
A charger for charging a pressure sensing catheter is provided. The charger can include a plurality of charging ports for receiving a portion of the proximal section of the pressure sensing catheter. The charging port may include an engagement portion for engaging with the portion of the proximal section of the pressure sensing catheter such that when the engagement portion engages with the proximal section of the pressure sensing catheter, the engagement portion is fluidly coupled to the catheter lumen and the pressure transmission medium from the engagement portion is displaced from the engagement portion to charge the one or more balloons of the pressure sensing catheter. The charger can include a cover for covering the engagement portion. The charger can include flutes defined on a surface of each charging port to permit a predetermined volume of the pressure transmission medium to be displaced from each charging port.

Claim (Index 40):
A charger for charging one or more balloons of a pressure sensing catheter with a pressure transmission medium, the charger comprising:\n a charger housing; a charging port including:\n a central axis, \n a first end, \n a second end opposite to the first end in a first direction parallel to the central axis, \n a connecting charging port portion located between the first end and the second end of the charging port, the connecting charging port portion forming at least a portion of a length of an interior surface of the charging port, the connecting charging port portion tapering inward toward the central axis along the length of the interior surface, and \n the pressure transmission medium therewithin; \n a pressure transducer positioned near the second end of each charging port, the second end being opposite to a direction in which the proximal section of the pressure sensing catheter is to be received in the charging port; and the pressure sensing catheter having a proximal section with a seal, wherein the charging port is configured to receive at least a portion of the proximal section of the pressure sensing catheter, and wherein the connecting charging port portion is configured to contact and further compress the seal via the tapering of the connecting charging port portion as the proximal section of the pressure sensing catheter is moved along the connecting charging port portion toward the second end of the charging port.
