"This is a natural extension of our technology, which will broaden the monitoring capabilities of the Redsense Alarm and enhance patient safety even further. We are now looking forward to the patent being issued, which likely will happen in
The claims of the allowed patent application provides protection for a hose, or line, connector sensor and is a complement to our previous product "Venous sensor". An extending optical fiber connects the hose connector sensor to the alarm unit, which thus can monitor the assembly for fluid leakage getting trapped in the hose connector enclosure. Such connector and hose assemblies include luer locks, which are widely used in extracorporeal circuits of body fluids - for example in the connections between the blood hose and the dialysis machine and between the hose and the venous needle.
"The catheter sensor solution is already commercially available, and the claims allowed by the USPTO ensure that Redsense can continue to address the safety risks. Venous needle dislodgement is a serious issue, which we address with the venous sensor - but if the integrity of the blood circuit is compromised somewhere else, for example through the failure of a catheter luer lock, the result can be just as devastating. This hose connector sensor allows a treatment provider to quickly, reliably and firmly attach a sensor to any hose connector, while at the same time confining any leakages and even reinforcing the connector, and, if need be, to quickly remove it again without disturbance," explains Patrik Byhmer.
