Implantable Devices: Retrieved and RecycledWhat Happens to Joint Replacements After Failure or Death?doi:10.1097/01.BMSAS.0000415569.17545.a5Biomedical Safety & Standards
Opinion statementThe use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as a diagnostic technique is rapidly expanding. The number of patients who undergo implantation of permanent pacemaker, implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD), and/or cardiac resynchronization therapy devices is increasing in parallel. ...
, which is HIPAA [Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act]-compliant, is in development and we believe it to be necessary," he added. "Our study's results will engender growth of digital tools to provide patients with lasting and accurate information about their implantable devices."...
heart failure; cardiac implantable electronic devices; remote monitoring; thoracic impedance; HeartLogic; triage HF1. Introduction Cardiovascular implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) have been used in heart failure (HF) patients with great success in either the prevention of sudden cardiac death or ...
Let me tell you a bit about myself: I have thirty years of experience in the design of Medical Electronic Instrumentation, most of it developing active implantable medical devices. In addition to over 40 papers and 80 patents on implantable medical devices, I am the lead author of the books...
Anne Vanhoestenberghe is a professor of active implantable medical devices at King’s College London. In a recent release, she cautioned against the kind of hype peddled by Musk. “Whilst there are a few other companies already using their devices in humans and the neuroscience community have...
a miniaturized timekeeping device small enough to wear on her arm — a piece is now widely considered to be thefirst true wristwatch. Today a constellation of performance-enhancing devices can be worn in or on your body, whether strapped to a wrist, slipped over a finger, embedded in clothi...
history of cardiomegaly, heart attacks, or untreated high blood pressure. An enlarged heart puts you at greater risk for conditions such as heart failure or stroke. Depending on the underlying cause, medical management of your enlarged heart may include medications, implantable devices, or surgery....
business, it is required that updating and patching are a part of your system protocols. IT department in your company should constantly keep scheduling updates across all organizational devices, especially for patient monitoring devices, IoT devices, wearables, implantable medical devices, fax machines...
free radicals. Superoxide and hydrogen peroxide can interact to form the very toxic hydroxyl radical in the presence of iron. The data have shown that the hydroxyl radical is likely to be one of the main causes of polymer degradation in implantable devices. © 1994 John...
