Abstract

A thrombectomy system comprising a console having a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) reader, a fluid inflow pump driven by the console, the fluid inflow pump configured to provide fluid inflow through the thrombectomy catheter, a thrombectomy catheter, and an RFID tag coupled to a body portion of the fluid inflow pump. When the fluid inflow pump is positioned inside the drive unit, the RFID reader may be configured to receive one or more operating parameters from the RFID tag.

Description

RFID tag for extending thrombectomy system capability Cross Reference to Related Applications The present application claims the benefit of U.S. provisional patent application Ser. No. 63/532,482 filed on 8/14 of 2023, which is incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field The present disclosure relates to thrombectomy systems. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to thrombectomy systems with RFID tags. Background Thrombectomy is a procedure that removes thrombus from the vasculature of a patient. Mechanical and fluid-based systems may be used to remove thrombus. With fluid-based systems, infusion fluids may be infused with catheters to a treatment area of a blood vessel to clear a thrombus. In some cases, an effluent (e.g., infusion fluid and/or blood) including the cleared thrombus may be withdrawn from the vessel through a catheter. In known thrombectomy systems and methods, there is a continuing need to provide alternative configurations/constructions of thrombectomy catheters and systems, as well as methods of operating such thrombectomy systems. Disclosure of Invention The present disclosure provides design, materials, manufacturing methods, and alternatives for use of medical devices. In a first example, a thrombectomy system may include a console including a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) reader, a fluid inflow pump driven by the console, the fluid inflow pump configured to provide fluid inflow through the thrombectomy catheter, a thrombectomy catheter, and an RFID tag coupled to a body portion of the fluid inflow pump. When the fluid inflow pump is positioned inside the console, the RFID reader may be configured to receive one or more operating parameters from the RFID tag. Alternatively or additionally to any of the examples above, in another example, the thrombectomy system may further comprise a proximity sensor. Alternatively or additionally to any of the examples above, in another example, the proximity sensor may be configured to detect that the fluid inflow pump is positioned inside the console and activate the RFID reader. Alternatively or additionally to any of the examples above, in another example, the RFID reader may be configured to communicate the one or more operating parameters to a controller of the console. Alternatively or additionally to any of the examples above, in another example, in response to receiving the one or more parameters, the controller may be configured to control one or more components of the thrombectomy system according to the one or more operating parameters. Alternatively or additionally to any of the examples above, in another example, the controller may be configured to vary an operating speed of the reciprocating linear actuator in response to receiving the one or more parameters. Alternatively or additionally to any of the examples above, in another example, the operating speed of the reciprocating linear actuator may be increased over a period of time. Alternatively or additionally to any of the examples above, in another example, the operating speed of the reciprocating linear actuator may be increased over a stroke length of the reciprocating linear actuator. Alternatively or additionally to any of the examples above, in another example, in response to receiving the one or more parameters, the controller may be configured to display a menu on the user interface, the menu may include one or more user-selectable operating parameters. Alternatively or additionally to any of the examples above, in another example, in response to receiving the one or more parameters, the controller may be configured to display a menu on the user interface, the menu may include one or more user-selectable sounds and/or tones to be assigned to the selected alert and/or notification by the user. Alternatively or additionally to any of the examples above, in another example, in response to receiving the one or more parameters, the controller may be configured to display information on a user interface specifically related to the thrombectomy catheter and the fluid inflow pump.
